yes it shoots .45 Long colt cartridges or .44 cal Black powder (with optional cylinder) "This Remington Conversion is a perfect reproduction from the historic period when popular black powder revolvers were being converted into cartridge revolvers. Although manufactured as a an already converted cartridge revolver now by Uberti, these copies still feature an easy transition from blackpowder to centerfire cartridges on the .45LC caliber models. The Remington Conversion in .45LC allows a shooter to switch from .45LC to .44 black powder by removing the breech plate, cartridge cylinder, and replacing them both with a spare black powder cylinder (available as a spare part from Taylor's A1014005). Along with the original conversion design, these revolvers retain other original features: the forged frames are dovetailed to allow the loading gate assembly to slide into place and a modern ejector rod incorporated into the original black powder loading lever with a small notch cut into the loading lever itself. The revolvers are available with a two-piece walnut grip, octagonal barrel, blued finish, and brass triggerguard ." taylorsfirearms.com/hand-guns/cartridge-revolvers/1858-remington-conversion.html

Yes, this pistol is chambered to fire Standard 45 Long Colt ammunition. The 1858 Remington revolver was originally designed as a black powder cap and ball revolver. When the then-new brass cartridges came about, many 1858s were converted to accommodate the new 45 Long Colt ammunition. This modern day reproduction is a fully functional firearm chambered for modern 45 Long Colt ammunition.
