It would be a pretty cool weapon if it was 22 long rifle (which I thought it was)

is there anyway I could convert it to .22lr so it would be easier and more reliable.

its not going to be a self defense gun but more of a backup piece to keep in my tackel box.

How reliable is cap and ball good enough for this task?

I bet you can get a replacement cylinder. It may not even be necessary to replace the hammer or firing pin.

Cap & Ball is more reliable than the delicate lockwork of the NAA mini revolvers. I have one of their .22LR mini revolvers. It has to have the internals replaced every coupl hundred rounds.

I had a cap & ball side by side .36 caliber pistol for a few years. killed a lot of targets-of-opportunity with that thing. Mostly pheasants and rabbits. it never misfired on me

Can you store them loaded for long periods of time?

I doubt the cylinder for the .22 would work for the cap and ball just because there are laws that allow cap and ball to be sold without a FFL.

I know that there are several vendors who advertise cap and ball pocket pistols along with the conversion kits to allow them to fire .22lr, and they are legal.

That is an awesome little pistol. I want one.
