Kid Rich Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 If a revolver can be used as a main match revolver it cannot be used as a pocket pistol. kR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cimarron's 1862 .380 conversion maybe...? This addresses the original 1862, and dates to 2006 or 2007, I think, so it may certainly have changed since. ********************************************************************** The RO Committee agreed that the 1862 Pocket Police would be legal as a Main Match pistol as long as the barrel length is over 4 inches. IF it is 4" or shorter, it is considered to be a POCKET PISTOL and, according to the rules, CANNOT be used as a main match revolver: QUOTE: Pocket pistols may not be used as or converted to main match revolvers. Shooters Handbook (page 13) The following is the "official word" regarding the Colt-style "pins" on 5-shot revolvers: QUOTE: The allowance of 5-shooters with pinned cylinders and safety notches on the hammer not being listed was simply oversight when the rule was "rushed" thru to allow 5-shooters with SOME kind of provision for the hammer to be secured off of the primers/nipples. (this from Tex hisself...most hammers are notched regardless of whether the cylinders have the pins).

Cibola Al Posted August 3, 2019 Author Share Posted August 3, 2019 Oh well, I have a nice custom SS I would have liked to have used, but I think I'll mess with an 1849 pocket model instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does that differ from what I said? kr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Foot Johnson Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 The frame is the firearm. If you have both forward assemblies, it would be a pocket pistol with the 4" installed, and a main match pistol with the longer one installed. This was, and maybe still is, the sole exception to the small frame/large frame differentiation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
