Yes, I saw that thread. I wish the lady well, but she might as well have been carrying it in the original cap-&-ball configuration. The conversion cylinder she has, IIRC, is the Ken Howell's type (don't recall if she had the 5-shot or 6-shot version), which requires removing the cylinder from the gun and taking the back plate off the cylinder to reload. It's slightly faster than reloading with black powder, seating individual balls, and capping each cylinder ... but not much. In terms of self defense carry, such a firearm is for ALL practical purposes limited to the number of shots the cylinder holds. With a Remington clone, the only effective field reload is to carry a spare, loaded cylinder (like Clint Eastwood in Pale Rider). But those conversion cylinders cost a couple of hundred bucks each -- at some point you have to realize that it makes more sense to buy a used gun of a more modern design for concealed carry.
