I really like the idea of the gated Kirst Conversion. It uses a Scofield round what is shorter than the 45 colt. Couldn't ya just load a short 45 colt cartridge for your pistols and use the standard for your rifle? Or would they prolly cycle just fine shorter in my 1892? I have a wonderful 1892 Octagon Navy Arms rifle and TONS of 45 Colt cartridges. Then there is the drop in Howell Conversion in 45 Colt reloaded .25 + or - shorter? I gathered this info from reading reviews on Midway. Mas importante - Which one could I bird dog and find USED easier? The Gated Conversion or the Drop In Cylinder?,
I tried to check out earlier archived posts on the subject, but couldn't see what I am asking about.
Thanks,
