I'm 75 yesterday. When I was a kid if one wanted to shoot an old percussion pistol you shot an old percussion shooter. An original Colt cost around $50. A Sharps about the same and we who wanted to shoot old guns shot them. They were made of iron. They shot fine. Today we buy Italian replicas which are much better guns and are made of steel. I shoot both old and new, but frankly I like shooting the newer replicas better. However there is a certain charm of making the old guns speak once again and I shoot a Navy Colt, a Pocket Navy Colt, and a Starr CA. Also a few Sharps rifles, a couple of trapdoors,, a 73 Winchester, a Parker or two, a Lefever and two old Lightenings, one pistol and one pump carbine. Fun.

@Omnihil777 4 года назад

Congratulations to your Birthday, sir, and many greetings from a black powder enthusiast from Hannover here in the north of germany. I wish you much fun shooting on the range / the outdoors. By the way, someday I really want to shoot a Sharps rifle, it's on my bucket list. Last summer I had the opportunity to shoot an original Spencer rifle, a thing I wanted to do since I saw the movie "Unforgiven" with Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman. What a fascinating piece! But for everyday shooting I like the replicas more, when I shoot such an old gun I kinda have the feeling I'm wearing out a piece of history. I know, it's a bit stupid, but I can't help it. Have fun!

I've had a .36 cal blackpowder revolver for several years (Uberti 1851 Navy with I think a 4 or 5 inch barrel). Works great. Shortly after I got it, I picked up a .38 special conversion cylinder for it from I believe Midway USA. I think it was made by Howell's, but it could have been Taylors. At any rate, the cylinder slipped right in, and I've been using handloaded mid-range wadcutter ammo in it completely successfully. About a year or two ago, I was in an antique shop and found a Colt .36 cal 1851 Navy style revolver with a longer barrel than my Uberti Sheriff. It was brand new and a beautiful gun with much better fit and finish than the Uberti. Got it home, took out the black powder cylinder, and guess what, the Howell .38 spl conversion cylinder slipped right in and shot like a charm. Very happy with the results in both cases. A lot of versatility for little money in both those guns. Oh, and one more thing, I find cleaning a gun after shooting smokeless powder rounds is a lot less hassle than cleaning one after shooting black powder rounds.

@rafkend1422 Год назад

Great video Mike! I have a Pietta 1858 .44 cal. with a Kirst Konverter. It is designed as such to not having to remove the cylinder to load. Instead, it operates just like a 1873 peacemaker, flipping the side door and loading. The only thing I have to do is to have a peg long enough to push out the empty cases. As far as cartridges is concerned, I handload with Cowboy load #4 200 grain bullets that I buy from Missouri Bullet Company over 5.5 grains of Trailboss powder. Velocity is around 750 FPS with excellent accuracy within 35 feet. It is a joy to shoot and a huge crowd magnet needless to say.

@mtslyh 4 года назад

Great video. The Remington is really the only cylinder that makes sense to me. Having to remove screws or wedges to get the cylinder out is more of a hassle than just loading powder and ball in my opinion. I just wish these cylinders weren't so darn expensive. The Remington cylinder cost more than I originally paid for the revolver. Still, it would definitely be fun to have. It makes for a nice conversation piece at the range.

@richardelliott9511 4 года назад

I disagree with your rationalization about The Remington being the only sensible one. I find the Colts to be quite easy. Just push out the wedge with your thumb, pull off the barrel assembly, then cylinder and use the cylinder arbor to push out the empties. Reload and slide it back on, press in the wedge, done. I will admit to carrying a wooden crab mallet for a sticky wedge but seldom need it. From what I've seen, Mike made the Remmies look a bit easier than it really is, mainly the rammer doesn't like to stay in that ideal position and must be held in place to keep it from flopping down and locking the cylinder. Also replacing the cylinder can be a bit fiddly until you get a feel for it. The Ruger screw? It is just a 1/2 turn locking pin with no real tension, a coin or key ring type screwdriver will work, no need for a real and bulky screw driver. If I were lucky enough to own one, I would probably work out a thumb screw head type arrangement for it. Having to hold the rammer assembly together is a hassle but I think you can leave the rammer arm and plunger off altogether and still lock in the cylinder pin. Rogers and Dow? You might need a real screwdriver for that one. I've never handled one but still loading cartridges has got to be easier than loading loose powder, ball and caps, especially under any kind of pressure when the adrenalin is flowing and your fine motor skills have deserted you. Just my experience. Thanks

@DanielNighteyes 4 года назад

I participated in cowboy action shooting for many years. My pistols were a brace of Uberti Remington New Model Army revolvers with R&D conversion cylinders (which is what I think Taylor's are). I put several thousand rounds thru each, and I'm here to say it was a whole buncha fun! If you're going to shoot a lot, and assuming your pistola is a Uberti , my suggestion is to get the lightened hammer spring available for their 1875 Remington, if they're still available. It slips right in, and makes your thumb quite happy..... []

@brianfalls5894 3 года назад

Hey there Mike. First time viewer and new subscriber. It's interesting that these conversion cylinders are available. I happen to own 2 Pietta Texas Buffalo pistols, 2 Pietta new army revolvers, and I just recently purchased a Ruger new army revolver. I got chased out of an indoor gun range a few years back because of all the smoke I generated with my stainless Pietta Texas buffalo pistol. I'd just purchased it and wanted to get it sighted in so I took it to the range. One thing I discovered mighty quick is that a black powder pistol is strictly an outdoor pistol! LOL!!!!! Aaaaaaaaaaanyway, now that these conversion cylinders are available then it would be nice to take my black powder pistols back to the range and light em up again without making all the smoke. Many thanks for a very informative video.

@ssb73q 4 года назад

An advantage of the Taylor 1858 .45 Colt conversion cylinder compared to other conversion cylinder manufacturers is that the Taylor .45 Colt conversion cylinder is 6-shot. Other manufactures only offer a 5-shot .45 Colt for the 1858 Remington. There can be a slight cartridge length issue for Colts using .45 Colt conversion cylinders. A .45 Colt cartridge shorter than the SAAMI 1.6" .45 Colt may be required. I always reload my .45 Colt to a length of 1.550" that fits in all my conversion cylinders.

In all 4 cases the cylinder dropped in, perfect fit, not a single issue. They work flawlessly! Probably doing a Remington conversion soon! I've had excellent luck getting HB ammo for cylinders from Buffalo Arms, great stuff. I do recommend getting a set of pins, ferrule and ferrule tool when you get a cylinder. Love carrying these when out on the property or hunting on my land.

@danielt.3152 4 года назад

It would be interesting to see a video on how to fine tune the Uberti replica conversion. Polishing internal components, adjusting the trigger pull, sight adjustments and making everything really smooth and seamless. I used to do a lot of hunting, and I always had my 12ga "tuned" up a bit from the factoring settings to make it just a bit quicker on hard flying geese, I would think the factory delivered Uberti is probably a bit sticky and doesn't have that well used smoothness and effortless feel that makes a huge difference when putting the hammer down on something that really is trying to get away or coming towards you.

@ManWithNoName. 4 года назад

Yeah if they just made a model suitable for quick reloading and if it was a cartridge fire from the beginning. I think they would sell a lot of them.

I used to know of an outfit in Tombstone that arranged "cowboy adventures" for Asian businessmen. Probably pretty expensive, but I'm sure they were quite memorable!.

Great video. I'd add for Pietta, avoid rounds with energy greater than 400 ft-lb, preferably stay within 350. It is lower than standard SAAMI specs so not every "standard" 45 Colt rounds are appropriate. Pietta makes frames from low grade steel so using "standard" loads will fairly quickly increase the cylinder gap...

It's more fun than my modern weapons (AK47, AR15 & the like). Is there a place to get loading information by folks who have used the carbine? Most of what I read is hearsay.

The notches between the firing pins on the 1858 Remington are there so you can load six rounds and safely lower the hammer. You lower the hammer on one of these notches and it's perfectly safe with 6 rounds. Same as the original cap and ball cylinder.

I was wondering if the conversion cylinder had the same safety notches as the OEM black power cylinder and the ability to go hammer down on 6 loaded chambers

Nice presentation Mike. I have the Taylor conversion cylinder for my Pietta 1858 Remington. This cylinder will also accept .45 Schofield cartridges. I reload both the .45 Colt and .45 Schofield cartridges with Trail Boss powder using the load data from the hodgdonreloading online site.
