Kirst Cartridge Konverter with Ported Konverter Ring is used to convert the Uberti 1849 Pocket Pistol to shoot 32 Smith & Wesson Short Ammuntion. SASS legal. It also allows the revolver to be carried with 5 loaded rounds and the hammer down on a safety notch. These are manufactured with a loading groove cut out in the Konverter breech ring. This has been done as it is more convenient to load and unload cartridges without having to remove the barrel to access the cylinder. This does make it necessary that you, the owner, cut a loading groove the the right side recoil shield of your revolver. This is not a difficult task, requiring a few common tools. Simple step-by-step instructions and a template are included. All Kirst Konverters CNC machined in the USA from 4140 steel and heat-treated. The cylinders are rated "For Black Powder or Equivilant Loads Only". The Konverter must never be used in a Brass Frame Revolver. Not for use on original antique revolvers.
