The Cimarron Richards Trans Conv 45 LC 8 is a purpose-built single-action revolver that faithfully reproduces the early Richards conversion design—a pivotal platform in the evolution of metallic cartridge handguns. Featuring the authentic Richards ejector combined with the practical Richards-Mason conversion ring and gate, this revolver delivers period-correct handling and mechanical integrity across all barrel lengths and chamberings. The case-hardened frame, walnut grips, and standard blue barrel provide the visual authenticity and functional durability that serious cartridge conversion enthusiasts demand.
The Richards Trans Conv design represents a critical bridge between cap-and-ball percussion systems and modern centerfire cartridge operation. The conversion ring houses the firing pin and hammer mechanism, while the ejector rod provides positive case extraction—a significant advancement over early pinfire designs. At 3.44 pounds and measuring 14.2 inches in overall length, the revolver maintains the balanced profile of its historical counterparts, facilitating both deliberate sight picture acquisition and fast point-shooting in practical scenarios. The case-hardened frame develops the characteristic color variations of period metallurgy, while the standard blue barrel resists corrosion under typical field conditions.
This revolver appeals to historical shooters, SASS competitors, cartridge conversion collectors, and those seeking a working single-action platform with genuine mechanical simplicity. The 45 LC chambering provides sufficient power for cowboy action shooting, practical revolverwork, and general range duty while remaining historically appropriate for the conversion era. The Richards Trans Conv excels where shooters prioritize mechanical authenticity, ergonomic reliability, and the satisfaction of operating a mechanically pure design without modern safety interlocks or complexity. Walnut furniture and hand-fitted conversion mechanics ensure consistent lock-up and shootability across extended use.
