Wow...
So you have to buy the 3.5” bbl seperately... will it be a direct drop in replacement with proper gap?

I'm sure it's the same points list -- the points system that's supposed to prevent the importation of "Saturday Night Specials." Once the gummint makes up a ruule, they don't willingly change it in a hurry (or at all).RickB said:

This is why all the imported "cowboy" revolvers have a second recess on the cylinder pin. Push the pin in far enough to engage the second notch and it blocks the hammer back so the firing pin doesn't make contact with the primer. The safety test specifically allows it to be manually operated for single action revolvers. This is also why the Heritage Rough Rider .22 revolver has that awful-looking cross-bolt-like safety ... it's an imported pistol, so it has to have some form of safety. But if they were to make the exact same gun in Dubuque, Iowa, no safety would be required. No, Mr. Spock, that is not logical.
Sure. Every ghetto rat wants to spend $500 on a 5-shot copy of a 150-year old cowboy revolver. (Can't even call it a "six shooter" if it only holds five rounds.)

Regarding no loading gate:
When the gun is in battery, none of the chambers will line up with the loading gate slot. Just don't cock it with the muzzle pointing up or a round might slip out of the chamber while it rotates past the loading gate slot.
As was mentioned, this was done with several cartridge conversions in the past. Here is a Remington 1858 Cap & Ball revolver that has been converted to fire 32-30 cartridges. Notice there is no loading gate. The cartridges stay put unless the muzzle is pointed up while cocking the hammer.
