Yes, I recall now, (it's been a while), the way the firing pin is offset and the receiver made to match, it would take some work at the very least.
edit: Don't know why I never tried this, but the cylinder from my Armi San Marco 44-40 six shooter, drops in perfectly, leading me to surmise that by hogging out that firing pin hole, it would work. No expert though. I don't know if that big hole would affect anything upon firing.
Those guns look good! Love the shorter barreled one.

I know we probably aren't supposed to be talking about this subject but I have looked into this as I wanted to compare the price of just buying the cartridge 45 colt SAA from Uberti vs the Uberti black powder version + having a gunsmith convert it

But basically I was told the time and effort put in, a new cylinder, plus the gun's cost would make it not worth the cost at all

Maybe you guys should try reading the rules.
Rule number ONE says we only discuss muzzleloaders made or designed prior to 1865.
The Colt model P was released in 1873.
Not to mention cartridge arm discussions are prohibited.
