The most of revolvers, seems, is converted to fire the mettalic cartridges. Check this. --Slon95 (talk) 08:23, 14 March 2020 (EDT)
Converted revolvers have loading gates. Let's see.
First, Colt Navy - no visible loading gate, except for the revolver of cavalry officer that is definitly not an original Colt (funny, this gun best matches Denix model, but I'm not sure that Denix already produced in mid-80s). More, in the scene of the duel the process of loading of Navy shows this gun as a cap and ball, as the bullet is inserted from the front of the cylinder.
Second, Colt Walker - just no view of this gun that shows the right side.
Third, Colt Dragoon - yes, a promo image shows possible loading gate. The screenshots again doesn't show the right side.
Fourth, Remington 1858 - no visible loading gate.
So, as for me, only Dragoon may be a cartridge version, I'll add it on page. It's worth noting that all handguns produce only smoke and very little muzzle flame, so they use pyrotechnical charges. So cap and ball revolvers could be used with ease, as they didn't fire, only imitated firing. --Greg-Z (talk) 09:33, 14 March 2020 (EDT)
