Stoneface Daguerrean Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Has anybody tried the new Kirst .22 Konversion cylinder for the Remmington 1858. If so how do you like it?

Guest Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Just shot it today. Gave me 2" to 3" groups one-handed at 10 yards. I used standard .22 long cartridges, and it was about 6" below the point of aim. I'll try next week with some high velocity & see what happens. If I can get it to roughly poa=poi, then it will be great for cheap duelist practice. Fit & finish is excellent - it dropped right into my Pietta and functioned. It did feel wrong to pull the trigger & not have ANY recoil...
Slowhand Bob, 24229 Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 They might be a bit new to get much feedback yet. One feedback I read from the maker was that 22 shorts could be fed in an unmodified gun without removing the cylinder, want to see how?? Sounds like the gates may come ported.

Trigger Mike Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 you know, that might be a good solution for a buckaroo shooter. Since I already have Remington Cap and ball pistols, I would not need to buy Rugers or other 22 pistols. This way they could more easily convert to cap and ball 44 or 45LC when old enough.
