I greatly enjoy my Uberti 1858 new model army revolver. I ordered it in the summer of 2022 from Dixie gun works and at the same time I ordered a Howell fluted .45 Colt conversion cylinder from midwayUSA and received them both on the same day. I’ve taken her out shooting with the conversion cylinder about 7 times and I’ve put nearly a couple of boxes worth of cowboy loads through her but I’ve never used the percussion cylinder. I have a video posted on my channel that I made of my most recent shooting session a month ago where I shot up an 8 inch terra cotta flower pot from about 30 feet away. I used to use HSM .45 Colt 200 grain cowboy loads with my piece but my piece does better with Winchester super X .45 Colt 250 grain cowboy loads

The conversion cylinders are the best for the 1858 New Model Army in my opinion. You can obtain great accuracy with them.

I have watched Forgotten Weapons for quite some time and Ian has had many old revolvers on there, that is where I got interested in these Cap and Ball and early cartridge firing guns, by the way he has shown some Cap and Ball revolvers with safety notches on them, I also have watched Duelist 1954 for some time so learned a lot from him. My favourite is the Remington too.

When reinserting the cylinder, you come in from the right just like you did, but then add a slight clockwise rotation of the cylinder to lift the hand out of the way. Slips right into place. Spare cylinders were indeed used a lot, but the Civil War soldiers carried several revolvers as often as not. The Remington made cylinder swaps quite viable with a lot less weight. Cap and ball shooters did, indeed, load all chambers. Thats why Colt and Remington and etc provided a safety notch between the chambers. Loading 5 and resting on an empty chamber started with the cartridge revolvers. They were (comparatively) quicker to load so spare cylinders and fully loaded chambers were no longer required. Colts do have frequent cap jams, but only because the design is quite elegant, and the parts must be highly polished. The slot in the hammer was designed to provide a "weak" place for the cap to split. Never any retained caps getting in the way. The groove in the shield directs the fired caps out and down. The problem is when the hammer slot gets or is left rough. The fired cap will protrude into the slot, and any roughness will hold the cap just long enough to drop into the action and cause a jam. Hone that slot very smooth with a very slight widened/rounded face edge, and the cap jams stop. 👍

I heard other gun-tubers and writers state that there is little evidence that extra cylinders were ever carried. They would have to be fitted to each gun for reliability. During the war, It would be easier to just carry extra revolvers, as after an action, they would be relatively plentiful.

Pale rider. He was using a cartridge conversion. And if you look closely, there are no projectiles visible from the front of the cylinder.

With a lot of practice you truely can reload these cylinders very fast. Especially if you’re using conversion cylinders you’re good to go in 20-30 seconds maximum ready for another 6 shots (I always load 5 though personally for safety)

On the 73 Colt and the 75 Remington you're correct , however earlier Colt's had pins between the nipples and Remington's had slots between the nipples for that purpose .

I’m not sure what wood it’s made from, but it’s just your stock grips that come with the gun.

A little black powder myth: the percussion cap will explode, causing an accidental discharge if you bump the hammer in anyway or drop the gun. Nope! Sorry it does not work like that! As you can push on a percussion cap all you want and it is unlikely to result in an accidental discharge. That is because it takes a hard sharp wrap directly on the guns hammer to set a percussion primer off. Which could happen if you dropped the gun, but highly unlikely if you bump the table with the hammer of the gun even while trying to get up fast. It is also highly unlikely to go off, even if the cylinder rotates allowing the hammer of the gun to contact a percussion cap. This is because there is not enough distance for the hammer to travel, to generate the force required to set a percussion cap off. You also have to remember percussion caps are not nitro cellulose based like modern primers, as a percussion cap use a compound similar to black powder that contains an abrasive to set the powder charge off. Don’t believe me? Take a percussion cap and put it in a pair of long handled pliers, and squeeze it flat. It won’t go off, but if you place it on a piece of metal and hit hard it with a hammer it will go off.
