5.0 out of 5 stars Metallic Cartridge Conversions: The History of the Guns & Modern Reproductions, October 18, 2008

Andrew Moore - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Metallic Cartridge Conversions (Hardcover)

This is the definitive reference on the relatively little-known topic of the early attempts to fire metallic cartridges in former black powder pistols. It covers the entire spectrum of the subject and includes firearms manufactured before the introduction of the famous Peacemaker and Remington "Outlaw" models. There is also an extensive section on reproduction conversion revolvers that includes anecdotes about their manufacture and use in film and television. This belongs in the reference library of any person interested in guns and their history.
