The pistol came from the factoy with the 3,5" barrel.
No problems at all shooting the little sucker with jacketed factory ammo at CAS distances up to 15 meters.
POA = POI using the factory front sight.
No issues with cartridges or empties blocking the cylinder.

They had to put the longer barrel on them to get through US import laws. Which is pretty dumb. They should have put an ejector and a gate on it.

Id let poi decide for you. That revolver was designed originally to shoot 200-215 gr bullets with around 21-23 grs of powder if thats important to you.

Exactly right. I tried 44 Special ammo / loads and all of it shot low. Which led me to the light loads and light bullets.

Can you elaborate?  I haven't heard too much positive nor negative about them.

It doesn't carryup right, usually needs help. It unloads itself while I'm shooting it. Shoots about nine feet high. I think they were cut out and sewn up wrong.

My son, Cody has one........with the standard 6 inch barrel, it shot way high......the barrel was shortened to 3.5" and a new post sight installed (factory sight) and it shoots dead on.....wish they could import them with the correct barrel.  That 38 Colt work around answers my question of how hard would it be o convert to the proper cartridge, which isn't hard at all.

You're really gonna enjoy that Kirst 45 ACP conversion.  I built myself a pair for CAS as soon as the ACP conversion was announced.  They really shoot a treat.  The nifty "other" thing, with the ACP conversion, one can also run Cowboy 45 Special cases.  I load mine with 3f APP and have fitted 3 different barrels.  8" 1860 Pattern, 4 1/4" 1860 Pattern and 4 1/4 inch .44 Navy Pattern.

Have Lots and Lots of fun wid 'em

Agreed! I think the ACP is a really underrated sixgun cartridge. I did function test empty .45CS cases and they work fine. I've got 1000 of them.
