How do you like the Kirst conversion? Think about getting one for my 1851.Here's a couple of mine.
Top is a Pietta 1851 Navy with a Kirst cartridge conversion.
Bottom is an Colt 1877 "Lightning" .38.

I like it a lot but it's a little finicky. I like the way the 1851 looks and points but I wanted a cartridge gun and thought it would be a fun project. It's definitely more finicky on loading and ejecting cases than an SAA but I have read that was true with original conversions as well. It runs well with .38 special brass but I bought some starline .38 short colt brass and did some "authentic" loads and the rim on the starline brass was too thick for some reason and did not run very well.How do you like the Kirst conversion?

My newest acquisition. I had my eye on a Model 28 but this was half the price so I couldn’t pass it up.
Two very fine wheel guns!Here are my only two wheel guns. Top is a Colt SAA 7.5 barrel in 45 LC. Bottom is a S&W Model 10-5 in 38 Special.
