Iβve found Ruger Old Army Cal and Ball revolvers to serve this role well although their availability may be low at this time.
Ruger changed the design slightly on the Old Amy
Because the changes they made it qualifies as a modern firearm and has to go through a background check
So you can't just get Ruger old army mailed to your house like Pietta reproductions
@Pocono Tactical: Roger that. Thanks for pointing that out. I understand they can be converted to fire smokeless ammo
@no0negun: the 1858 Pieta's can also be converted. But the product that they are selling follow the antique design. That's why those don't have to go through a background check
The conversion cylinders are such a pain in the ass that is just easier to use black powder.
