Hello all,
I am getting really interested in the sport in general.
The first question may seem a bit wimpy.
I have not done a lot of shooting with handguns, and am not sure about the recoil. The only thing I have really shot, is a 9mm semi-auto and am not sure how that compares to a .357/.38 special or a .45 Colt single action. I'm looking at this for 2 reasons, one for my own comfort and I think I would like to get my wife involved and I would like to have something that would not intimidate her to much.
Secondly, I really like the 1858 Remingtons, but was wondering about the conversion cylinders. Is there anything to be looking for regarding the manufactures of the different cylinders. And, if later I decided to do a conversion, is the notch for a loading gate something anyone can do, or at least something you could have done by a local gunsmith.
Thanks
Eric E
