I am convinced by the Kirst now that I have an assembly an additional caliber cylinder for my ROA. The Howell (6 firing pin) converters are adamant about the possibility of fowling up the firing pins by dry-firing, and I also couldnt get over the fact that the more parts- the more possibility for breakage. I spent a good bit of time studying before buying the Kirst for my ROAs. I actually had a firing pin problem with my Kirst and had to mail it back for repairs.
On the one hand you could say that having 6 firing pins is better in that if one fails you still have 5 others. I dont care about the fact that it would look like I was using a cap ball (made for re-enactors) but the single firing pin seems like a better design than the RD, with its backplate and six firing pins Anyone. I own a RD (Howell) conversion cylinder for my ROA and a Kirst conversion cylinder for my Walker.ĭepending on how you plan to use the conversion cylinder could give you a hint as to which one you want to go with. There is only one firing pin on the highlighted Kirst Cylinder.
In looking at it, it seems like it might even provide a couple of notches in which to rest your hammer.which would be great, since it is a 5 shot to begin with (dont want to have to keep hammer on empty chamber) Could you all take a look at this link, and see what you think Any ideas if this would drop right in to a Pietta 1858.(seems like the RD have good luck with actually dropping in) Is Buffalo Arms good people to deal with (as far as actually having an item in stock.when it is listed in stock on the website ) Any info regarding conversion cylinders in general would also be appreciated this forum has gotten me away from Tactical hardware and wanting me to sell off my guns to fund old school hardware Thanks. While looking around on the interwebz.(dangerous, huh) I discovered a Kirst that seems kinda like the RD.that is to say, it has a backplate that fits over, with 5 separate firing pins.
I am also kinda familiar with the Kirst with loading gate concept.
