As a matter of interest, Uberti makes a number of "conversions" including some made from the outset as cartridge revolvers. These are steel framed guns and can be used with mild smokeless ammunition. However, they are made on the old Colt style design, with the barrel held by the wedge and of open top construction, with the exception of Remington copies. These are not of the strongest construction, not the fault of Uberti but of Colt, and certainly shoot loose with heavy usage.
But they make one handsome revolver!
