How is putting your hand forward on a cartridge conversion cylinder like a modern carbine hold any different than wrapping your hand around a 1911 handgrip - no risks. Understandable precaution for cap and ball.
It's not really but a habit you don't want to start when shooting these revolving carbines. He shoots cap and ball a lot too and starting that habit could cost you a hand or finger in the event of a chain fire.
Any revolver presents the same danger of flame-cutting your hand. Support hand can safely surround the shooting hand, but cannot safely be farther forward. See "Mythbusters" episode.
Thank you Mike. Love your videos. Was looking for you on Rumble just in case TH-cam goes away didn't find you there. Really enjoy your videos. Joe security Oklahoma
Just received my revolving rifle...You sold me!! Thank you for the videos on it..What kind of range, distance can I expect with the conversion cylinder? I got that too...
@@duelist1954 Mike, you need to grade on a sliding scale. I saw it go (way) up over 1,000 views before that first negative thumb. That is victory by any measure. :)
Yes it works, used one at the E.O.T. Wild West Show, many years ago, Shooting Balloons. p.s. keep your hands both of them behind the cylinder forcing cone.
My name is “Hans”, although I use a different name for TH-cam. Moreover, I am from Germany. “Hans” used to be a very common name over here. But less so these days. Therefore, I, for one, am happy you use the name “Hans” on your channel. Even as the bad-guy “Han(d)’s Up”! Cheers, Hans E.
Yeah you had to show me this and now I have one! Great fun shooting this little carbine with a 3 to 4 pound trigger and the cartridge conversion. I’ll also blame you for ordering the paper cartridge kit which I’m waiting for as I write this… Thanks Mike
Hi Mike, great video. For all the "sensitive" people nowadays that are concerned about Hans Up and his name, perhaps not all of them understand the whole "Hands Up" thing. They can call him Bob Wyre if it will make them feel better. Actually, after a few of your shots they might want to call him Dick Hertz. Remember when people could joke and breathe without thinking they were "offending" someone?? I haven't seen all of your older videos, although I am working on it. This was nice to know about the conversion cylinder working in both the revolver and the carbine. Looks like I will be buying a Uberti now.
I'm buying the conversion ( period ) because of you. For all my BP guns ! Really enjoyed your vid . Makes me appreciate my collection all the more. Thank You !
I loved the video, amigo. You need a Mexican Bandido. Forget about ol Hans. Ha ha ha ha ha. Call him Ignacio (Nacho) the inmate, or Benny the Border Brother, or Hector the Hood, or Alvaro the Alien, Diego the Demon, Foul Fernando, or Rowdy Rafa. Don’t worry about anyone getting offended. They’re merely weak sticks. Okay, I have one of these bad boys and I love it. I will order one of these Taylor’s cylinders for it. By the way Mike, I really enjoy your videos.
If you also have an Uberti 1858 revolver, you can use the same cylinder in either one [the carbine is just a variation on their revolver production.] He may mention this in the vid, I haven't watched it yet.
For some reason, some calibers are determined by measuring from land to land or groove to groove. A revolver that shoots .45 bullets or balls is about .44" from land to land and about .45" from groove to groove. .38 Special vs .357/.36 and so forth. Of course, the .44-40 uses heeled bullets and the .45 Colt doesn't, throwing even more mud in the soup. :)

Muzzle loading caliber designation is by bore (Land-to-Land) diameter. So a 45 ACP, having a 0.443 bore and 0.451 rifling groove is a "44" under muzzle loading caliber designation. This is why ".44 Army" cap and ball revolvers having a 0.440 bore and 0.450+ rifling groove will easily shoot 45 Caliber handgun cartridges.
Thank you, excellent as always. I've always been intrigued by conversation cylinders but they would be illegal to fit to a muzzle loading revolver in the UK. A carbine like this would be legal though.

Hi Mike thank you for another awesome video! thank you for not editing out the misses.

P.S. just a thought, is it the "buck horn" rear sights that are making you miss? because i have a friend with a Henry rifle that has a similar rear sight and i can't hit the broadside of a barn, even though he's really good with it
My guess would be the that they used to call caliber the diameter in the lands and over time we shifted to going off the diameter in the grooves. I would imagine the reason for the shift is marketing/ego since everyone always wants the gun that seems bigger even if it's only nominally.
That's how barrels work lol, longer barrels give higher velocity up to a certain point. A standard 158 grain .357 mag out of a 16 inch saddle carbine is traveling at a whopping 1800 fps That same round out of a 4 inch revolver is only around 1200-1300 fps.
How many yards was Evil Roy away from you, first i tried 25 yards then about 40 yards aimed bit high then to the side but goes through a two inch slab of wood easily but hit too far left and right lol
I have picked them up in various places over the years. This one was made by D Bar J Hats in Las Vegas. It is based on the Everett Hitch hat in the movie "Appaloosa".
I would like to see a cartridge conversion video on 36 caliber shopping malls I am curious how about how a 38 special Works in a boar that is .375 What is the accuracy like anime 36 caliber cartridge conversion 38 Special for 38 Smith & Wesson?
Thanks for this video. I've wondered how high of velocity I can have with reloads. When you mentioned standard 45 velocity, is that below 900 fps that the manufacturer states as the limit or can you go higher?
Mike thanks for another great video. Quick question: are you aware of any issues with the conversion cylinder firing pins resting just over the cartridges?
Not Mike, obviously, but I've never had issues with any of mine. The firing pins just float though... there's no spring in them. The only thing to be cautious of is making sure the firing pins don't stick forward. I always push them back in the plate before assembling the cylinder. Don't want one sticking out when you put the cylinder plate on and force it in the frame... very bad.
Have you ever considered making your own black powder. Where I live you can only get Pyrodex. you have to mail order black powder, and it's pretty expensive because of the Hazardous fee.
Concerning black powder guns legal standing as not firearms, does switching out the cap & ball for a self- contained cartridge cylinder make it illegal without registration? Considering open carry just for kicks or does the weight make it not viable?
@@loboheeler Wrong! Try it sometime. A 26 inch barrel would only add 1 pound to the weight. I can comfortably fire my 8- pound, 29 inch barreled Sharps the same way as I shoot the carbine. A 5 1/2 pound Remington would be VERY easy to handle. Also, the originals had 24-28 inch barrels, as well as a slightly longer frame and cylinder. I can tell you from experience that the 26 inch version balanced very nicely! And no, I didn't get to shoot that old original. Dammit! ; )
I have a Remington new army and it's not uberti or the other one its an DGG kit gun it was not finished all the machine lines are still on it frame has never been smoothed or blued im wandering if it was a prototype the frame has an x so the mark says it was made in the area of 1954

Have you ever considered just having a sit down with evil Roy really getting to the crux of the matter? While I understand your methods of exorcism by lead I just think Roy is an underappreciated, and dynamic character perhaps even misunderstood.
I wish I'd been joking, but, unfortunately that is an example of today's "Outrage Culture"...but, as I said, not a single actual German person has complained. In fact, several have written in with supportive comments. The complainers are people who are searching for things to be outraged over.
It sucks that the safety notches in the Taylor's cartridge cylinders are too small to work. They work fine with the percussion cylinders in a Uberti. This 5 chamber loading thing is a BS carryover from the Colt 1873 and Remington 1875.
The diameter of a .45 Colt bullet is 0.456", so it might work with a jacketed bullet. The Italian replicas are known to have soft steel though, and the grooves might shoot out quickly.
I say load revolver the same way every time drop safe or not when people change it up something bad is more likely to happen. Now I would fix the hammer to fit the slot but if I loaded 5 in a 6 shoot revolver I would just do it the same way. Now I don’t get if everyone loaded 5 over 6 why did they just not make the 6th hole just leave it filled and have a hammer spot. My father and is and so on load all chambers and I did the same on a civil war revolver that has been in the family sense new yes my great grandfather in the civil war. And my grandfather and father said every pistol need a holster that it can’t fall out like the one with the flap or a leather strap that goes over the hammer ( with the pistol on halfcocked ) but I do see the safety of have 5 in a 6 shot revolver. Now holster cost a lot of money so if you was just to belt hold or Mexican carry it oh yes 5 is better than 6. But at the range I don’t know you could drop it. But it falling out of a good holster I don’t know.
Whenever I see a revolving carbine I think of Lee Van Cleef in For A Few Dollars More. Cool stuff!

i may be full of BS, In the 19th century the caliber went by the bore diameter instead of groove diameter. My keyboard warrior expert opinion facts.
The diameter of a .45 Colt bullet is 0.456", so it might work with a jacketed bullet. The Italian replicas are known to have soft steel though, and the grooves might shoot out quickly.
I say load revolver the same way every time drop safe or not when people change it up something bad is more likely to happen. Now I would fix the hammer to fit the slot but if I loaded 5 in a 6 shoot revolver I would just do it the same way. Now I don’t get if everyone loaded 5 over 6 why did they just not make the 6th hole just leave it filled and have a hammer spot. My father and is and so on load all chambers and I did the same on a civil war revolver that has been in the family sense new yes my great grandfather in the civil war. And my grandfather and father said every pistol need a holster that it can’t fall out like the one with the flap or a leather strap that goes over the hammer ( with the pistol on halfcocked ) but I do see the safety of have 5 in a 6 shot revolver. Now holster cost a lot of money so if you was just to belt hold or Mexican carry it oh yes 5 is better than 6. But at the range I don’t know you could drop it. But it falling out of a good holster I don’t know.
