I thought the first conversions were to .46 rimfire?

Just based on your personal attacks, it's obvious that I've touched a nerve ... Sorry about that (not really) I do have "a life" ... a nice one too! I own a nice home, two rental homes, and a nice cabin in West Virginia where I shoot on a regular basis. I understand that this is a black powder forum and I may have upset some by stating the obvious, but you may want to take note of all the others who have reiterated what I've been saying all along. I suppose they all need to "get a life" and "move out of thier mother's basement" as well? I'm sorry but your personal attacks clearly show your frustration in attempting to debate a topic where there clearly is no debate. |

History
Read down about halfway the article talks about Conversions...they used heeled bullets for both .44Colt and the 38Colt...also the .46 Rem rimmed.
http://www.riverjunction.com/kirst/history.html It's a good artical and now I see why Walt Kirst made the .44Colt and .45Colt Conversions. And also why Kenny Howell made the 5 Shot Remington .45 Conversion. The dates of the heeled bullet conversion are in the text. Good article...

Well before this thread gets shutdown from ill feelings, I end my thoughts and writtings on this matter. Too bad everyone couldn't think about the History Trail that led to the topic and not make another Trail a Tears out of it. I'm done after ya read the text below this...back to my forum ...See ya's! Try it my Brother of the gun ... you might change your mind when the need to make Charcol, dig up Sulpher, and make Salt Peter comes. 2012 ain't far away, Nor the new 2nd ammendant changes... Peace Out And you can quote me on all a that...

I'm not sure what that post was all about, "Smokin_Gun", but there are no "ill feelings" on my part.
I have never personally attacked anyone here by saying things like "get a life" or "move out of your mother's basement". I've only stated my own personal feelings about using black powder guns for self-defense and those who share my views here have also done so respectfully. Only a couple who felt that black powder guns are suitable for home defense posted ignorant, immature, and disrespectful responses, which IMO lends absolutely no credibility to the topic of discussion. Again, my feeling is that shooting black powder is fun and inexpensive, but unfortunately, not as reliable as cartridge guns, thus not making them my first choice for self-defense. I'm not sure how that statement was interpreted as I "have no life" and "live in my mother's basement", but whatever. Moderators, please feel free to close this thread at any time. I believe it has truly run it's course. |

Dino, we take blackpowder seriously. Some of us choose to use them for self defense. It was a spirited debate. Lots of info here. This thread can be considered complete.
Everyone be safe. You too, Dino.. |
