I’ve been wanting to get a conversion of some sort recently. I miss my pair of 1872 Open Tops I used to shoot CAS with. They weren’t ‘conversions’ but had similar styling.
I would think that if they are marked 38 Special, and standard load would be safe in them. I know some were sold as 38 Colt’s and Black Hills and others loaded it, but if marked Special, I can’t imagine it not being safe to shoot anything under +P loads in them. Not that you’ll beat them up, but I wouldn’t have any trouble going beyond Trail Boss loads.
