A solution for which there is no problem whatsoever.....

It is converted, and proofed, to use nitro powders rather than BP/BP substitute, and thus is the nearest thing to a modern cartridge pistol but still qualifies as a muzzle loader and thus is S1. There are a number of variations on this theme so it is not unique.

I both understand the theory and have shot the nitro-converted 'real' revolvers made by this company. For THEM, I can see a reason. They CAN be shot at the usual 25m pistol target, just like we used to do over here on the mainland of UK. You can even see me shooting one on Youtube. That way, here on mainland UK, you can get to shoot a modern-looking and feeling handgun as a S1 firearm.

But to convert a loose-loading percussion revolver, that still LOOKS like a loose-loading percussion revolver, into a loose-loading percussion revolver, one that cannot be used in ANY BP handgun competitions anywhere on the planet, seems to make no sense at all.

What am I missing?
