Kirst or R&D?
« on: August 26, 2009, 08:09:11 PM »
I have a 61 Uberti that I will be converting to a 38 Colt for use with a sleeved barrel or hollow base bullets in the .36 barrel( haven't decided yet).


I am leaning to the Kirst instead of R&D. Any opinions or testimonials or better yet picture of your successful projects?

  River Jordan        My conversions are R&D,at the time I converted them Kirst did not produce the ones I was after. Although if I were to convert them today I would go with Kirst,no question in my mind about it.   JMO   Adios  Sgt.Jake

   Many reasons,availability, standing behind the product after the sale,and the design of the product. I only wished Kirst had made the conversion,I was after at the time ,now he does. Live and hopefully learn ,  See Here     http://www.cascity.com/forumhall/index.php/topic,21178.0.html      Adios  Sgt. Jake

I'll back Jake's opinion.
I had mine done years ago using R&D parts and it's good my gunsmith is a saint because they were a pain in the ass to install.
Chambers are too tight and after only @ 50 rounds had the plate break apart (which R&D said happened 20% of the time) on one and then the other.
Haven't tried the Kurst but like my pal Jake I'd have gone with them if they were available back then.
