The Taylor’s & Company 1858 Remington Conversion in .45 Colt (brand part no. 550763) reproduces the historic transition-era revolvers that converted black-powder cap-and-ball guns into cartridge-firing sidearms, built with an 8-inch barrel and a 6-round cylinder. Taylor’s & Company finishes this reproduction in a nickel-plated engraved steel with a 2-piece ivory grip, and retains the original design’s forged, dovetailed frame that lets the loading gate assembly slide into place. A modern ejector rod is incorporated into the original-style black powder loading lever, and the revolver can switch between .45 Colt and .44 black powder cylinders by removing the breech plate and swapping cylinders. Among historical reproductions in the revolvers category, the 1858 Remington Conversion favors collectors and Old West enthusiasts who want the authentic conversion-era mechanism.
