The Kirst Cartridge Konverter allows you to fire cartridges with your Cap & Ball revolver, just like the original conversion revolvers, used to settle the frontier in the Wild West.

The Kirst Konverter also gives you the option to switch from Cap & Ball to cartridges by changing cylinders. Kirst Konverters are precision CNC machined from 4140 steel and heat-treated for strength and durability by skilled craftsmen right here in the USA.

All centerfire Kirst Konverters are manufactured for use in modern, reproduction Cap & Ball revolvers with steel frames; they can fire Standard Pressure ammunition as well as Cowboy Action and black powder loads. Never use +P ammo or any other high-pressure ammunition.
