Not a conversion, but an object lesson ...somehow missed out of the post above.

Sorry.

Hiya Tac,
I was wondering what you were referring to in the earlier post.
I hope the shooter is okay.

Lost an eye - not wearing safety glasses either. He'd left them, and his brain, at home.

Both examples of catastrophic failure were people using smokeless powder in a BP cylinder and not a proper conversion cylinder, No? I could do the same with any modern revolver loaded at double, triple or 10x the proof pressures.

I will play this game when Glock makes a black powder gun I can convert.

This is a "loophole" that has been overlooked so far.

Yep, you can go get a black powder pistol, order up a conversion cylinder and in 2 days have a center fire cylinder. And no paperwork......

With the OP having 14 posts,I wonder if this isn't a fishing operation
