Hello penmon.
Being one of the guys that have a few dedicated Smith revolvers in 45 Colt
i guess I will weigh in here.
If I had one revolver and could not afford another I don't think I would hesitate to convert my one Smith in 45 Colt to also fire 45 a.c.p.
For a $100. bucks and NO effect on the original chamberings accuracy
I would say "why the hell not?"
Then I would document the accuracy results and see if it was worth it
for posterity sake.
Heck , I would appreciate a fresh perspective on the subject.
Now a days I only seem to shoot my revolvers out to 15 yards
and this is hardly a test of any kind of 'hunting' accuracy.
I own many Smiths in 45 caliber both 45 Colt and 45 A.C.P.
I did however recently purchase a Governor and have a review of IT
and it shoots 45 A.C.P. out to 15 yards (thats only 45 feet )
really well.
