A few pictures of my 1858 Remington Conversions

The brass rod on the holster is an antique hinge pin that is used to push the cartridges out of the cylinder if they don't simply fall out.








With a knife my buddy made me.


One shot....Right between the eyes at 83 yards (but with a Contender in "30 Something".....I just thought this was a neat picture!)

Nice lookin' pistols! I love my Pietta 1858. I got the one with the cch frame. Not period-accurate, but pretty nonetheless.

Nice! I always have liked the 1858 and yours is perfect. For curiosty's sake what made you decide to go with the conversion cylinder versus a Richards Mason or Kirst conversion?

I bought them this way from a previous owner.  These conversion cylinders are more "period correct" than the more modern Kirst.

I just bought a set of 1851 Navy revolvers that I building conversion cylinders for. These will have loading gates like the Kirst.

I understand that the case hardened frame was actually available as an extra cost option for factory orders.
