She says the Remington has much less recoil than the other 45 caliber pistols/revolvers we have and it's more accurate, which probably has to do with the extra weight and barrel length. I love 'em and my wife shoots my Remington with the conversions every chance she gets. I got the conversions a number of years ago when they were only $99 and wish I had purchased more after seeing their current price! Anyway, conversions are really great. What I especially like is that I have the ability to use modern ammo if I want to but can still use the gun as a cap & ball revolver if the need arises. I've got a '58 Remington revolver in.44 cal and I have Kirst conversion cylinders (two in 45LC and one 45ACP) for them. I reload for my Vaqueros and this Cowboy Action loading (1000 FPS) or less is required using this conversion. A good swirling of cold blue and a excellent blend-in on the finish.

Then about an hour of progressively finer sandpaper until the metal surface matched the outer frame. I used a 1/2 carbide grinding bit in an air drill, about 30 minutes of careful work. No timing or fitment issues, only a loading gate cut had to be made in the frame. The fit and finish was perfect, a VERY high quality accessory indeed. The Kirst cylinder was ordered last Sunday and was at my door on Wednesday. I received my.44 Dragoon on the 15th and decided to convert it to.45 Long Colt centerfire.
