What are the advantages and disadvantage of different models of replacement cylinders for the Ruger Old Army

What are the advantages/disadvantages of the two available replacement cylinder models for the Ruger Old Army that allow it to fire the modern 45 long Colt cartridge?

Answer 228

I’m not sure I understand exactly what you’re asking. It lets you shoot a fairly modern cartridge instead of having to load up cap and ball. I guess the disadvantage would be you have to remove the cylinder to reload.
