I got to mess with both...
and really do prefer the non conversion units. There just isn't words to describe the blance and pointability if either the conversion or modern 1860 open top Uberti revolvers..no matter the caliber. Only pistol I could hit targets tossed in the air (I know..I was safe and shooting into a remote mountain).
