Kirst Konverter 45 ACP Cylinder for ROA?
« on: October 12, 2012, 11:01:06 PM »
 I don't shoot my 5" blue ROA that much. I like the gun, just don't care for the mess, cleaning and slow loading procedure. However, being a 1911 buff I have a lifetime supply of components to load 45 ACP, as well as ~5000 rounds already loaded with cast bullets.
 
 I'm looking at the Kirst Konverter and wonder if anyone here has any opinions on it...

 Also looking at a Belt Mountain base pin and latch setup...
 

 
 Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated...

That Belt Mountian latch, does it prevent the center pin from rotating?

Yes.......P.A.
