Sorry if it appeared to be a troll post. I was only interested because of an article I read yesterday on a LE-related web site that said black powder handguns were completely legal to mail order in Cali and, considering they are one of the few states worse than our horribleness, made me curious. Fortunately, I have my paperwork all in order and the only obstacle I run into is the number of hoops I have to jump through each time I want to purchase a handgun (usually missing awesome deals I see on the forums I frequent). thanks for taking the time to answer my question, especially considering it could have been misconstrued as trolling. sincerely,

Can anyone tell me if black powder pistols with the conversion cylinders are required to be registered as handguns? For those that don’t know what the conversion cylinders are (I didn’t know until today) they are basically a disc like steel circle that goes over the existing cylinder and includes 6 individual firing pins, theeeby allowing the black powder pistol to fire modern shells. (See example link, hope this isn’t against forum rules: https://www.taylorsfirearms.com/hand-guns/cartridge-conversions/1858-remington-conversion-cylinders.html just curious, as the black powder guns I have seen look like fun but seem like such a pain to load/Fire/etc. I know that sounds pretty horrible and neglects the history of these firearms, etc. Ha.
