![]() NOW, I see that "Howells" (remember, the same company) offers this conversion in a 5-shot configuration. R&D used to offer this conversion as a 6-shot with no notches for the hammer, so essentially. ![]() R&D now operates under the name "Howells". Unfortunately, Kirst no longer offers these conversions for the 1849 and the only other company(s) that I've found that offer them are R&D and Howells, which I found are the same company! ġ) It offers a single firing pin as opposed to R&D's six firing pins.Ģ) It offers the ability to cut a loading channel which would enable loading/reloading without having to take the pistol apart each time.ģ) Most reviews I've read say that this is a TRUE "drop in" cylinder and reported nothing but good things.Ĥ) Though it's a 5-shot cylinder, the cylinder offers a "notch" for the hammer to rest so no chamber is wasted, thus making it a true 5-shot cylinder (not 4). ![]() I really had my heart set on the Kirst conversion cylinder for several reasons.
