what is Nitro conversion

we have a new cylinder that uses nitro powder instead of black powder and uses shotgun primers instead of percussion caps, so instead of 20 grains of black powder I use 2.5 grains of Bullseye and shotgun primers which are fitted in a recess in the cylinder and covered with a cap which has 6 firing pins, its expensive, costs about £350 ish if you have the pistol to be converted, will sort some pics out, cheers Tezz

OK....
First my ROA. I haven't been able to get the correct Pachmayr grips so far so these are from a Ruger Blackhawk. They fit OK although not perfectly. Much more comfortable than the standard ones for my largish hands!

Next one is no longer BP but it's probably still my favourite gun - an original 1896 Winchester carbine - this one is from 1913.
It's chambered in 44-40 and with 8gr of Unique is amazingly accurate. I find it one of those guns where everything is just right!
