Editorial Review:
Once again history repeats itself with the skyrocketing popularity of metallic cartridge conversion revolvers among cowboy action shooting enthusiasts. These revolvers are almost as popular as when they were first introduced in the 19th century.

Collectors and enthusiasts will track the history of the original conversions of the 1800s through historic text and both new and archival photographs. All current modern reproductions are represented with photos, technical details, and performance test results. In-depth coverage of the original revolvers includes models from Colt, Remington, Smith & Wesson, Rollin White, Richards, and Richards-Mason. Modern guns from American Western Arms, Navy Arms, and Cimarron F.A. Co. are highlighted.

Metallic Cartridge Conversions: The History of the Guns & Modern Reproductions
2008-10-18 - 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.
