Dear group,

I've neglected my Uberti 3rd Model Dragoon for some time now, due to the hassle of blackpowder.

However I was enthralled to see various companies offer conversion cylinders in .45LC for these wonderful pistols. However, with all of the ones I have seen, one would need to just about completely disassemble the gun to eject the spent cartridges and reload.

Would anyone know of a company or private gunsmith offering conversions with a loading gate?

I've seen it with the 1858 Remy, so I'm sure it would not be that difficult to produce.

Thanks for your help, folks!

Christus Vobiscum,
JRS
