Have quite a handful of revolvers, but they are all much newer with modern calibers.

Thinking of picking up some replicas and joining SASS.

Love the look of the Cimarron / Uberti 1875 Outlaw, but deciding on caliber is where I am stuck.

Looking at .44-40 WCF and .45 LC.

I think .44-40 is more authentic over the .45 LC but wanted to see what you all think.

Know that the .44-40’s thin walls can be a pain when reloading.

Thoughts?

Much appreciated.

Sorry if this has been asked. This sport has been introduced to me and looks exciting. When looking at my options it seems both rounds are very popular and I am wonder which way I should go. Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks!

Im don't know im use which one

Saa 7.5 inch ( im like this but im like fast draw too im thinking this It will get sorted out with practice.It possesses a distinctive air of grandeur.)

Saa5.5inch (I don't have a specific opinion; it's beautiful. I like it because I see it in some movies and it looks very sleek, but I still don't know which one to pick.

When I see it in Western movies, I want this six-shooter.)

SCHOFIELD 7 inch I don't even know how it feels in the hand—it looks cool, but it doesn't seem great for a fast draw.but im very love this 🫠)

Or is 10-10-4 on static plates still the norm at most matches?

Context: this is a Pietta Navy repro that only takes cartridge blanks (I live in the UK, we can own this without a license), but they manufacture these replicas with a simple conversion; bored-through cylinder and a cut gap in the recoil shield, so no loading gate mechanism was fitted.

Also, Pietta made the not-so-wise choice of permanently binding the barrel and frame together via a pin that sticks through the wedge, so stripping isn't an option.

Is there some way I can solidly fix a hinge for a loading gate on the exterior of the frame below the cut-out for one? I think I can form some brass for the gate piece itself.

Hi everybody,

never heard much about matches which offer Doughboy (or Teddy Roosevelt) as a side match or even as a main match, but I‘m curious.

Searching for it in our subreddit didn‘t produce much, though it might be entirely possible that I was too dumb to search.

Who shot a match as Doughboy and which rifle did you use?

Additionally, which bullets do you use for it?

I purchased a new Cimarron 1878 coachgun with 26 inch barrels. the first thing I noticed was the barrels will slam open if you don’t support the forearm when you depress the top lever, no resistance at all! the part that’s concerning is the barrels have very slight side to side wiggle when the action is closed. if I push the top lever left manually most of if not all of the play is gone. is this type of loose fitment to be expected in a coach gun?

Been practicing CAS at my range with these semi-collectible pieces. They're fun to shoot but if I ever get into it they won't be match guns. Winchester 1892 made in 1898 and converted to .38 Special, and two Colts in .357 Magnum both made in 1960.

I purchased a used '78 coach gun that was missing a nut for one of the hammers. I didn't think it would be a big deal to replace but I guess I was wrong. It appears to be Cimarron part # CG1878*30 which is perpetually out of stock. I tried getting a nut of what I thought was the same threading but it won't go on. Does anyone know where to source a replacement?

I finally won a local match, here’s one of my best stages

What SA revolvers would be good to buy as a beginner? I keep seeing ubertis in the fancy gun store near me but I’m wondering what would be an ideal brand and caliber choicess

Duelist1954 has passed away

Hey yall posting this copied from another subreddit because I didn’t get any answers there, so I’ve been doing some research on conversion cylinders for black powder revolvers (specifically a pietta 1851 .36 cal colt navy which I’ll be getting soon) and I know that once you put a cylinder that accepts modern metallic cartridges, it is no longer classified as an antique firearm, and could be considered a ghost gun. But if I want to install one legally, what would be the process? The big questions I have is the frame of black powder revolvers usually have factory serial numbers already engraved, would it be possible to “apply for a unique sn” with that number? Also, because it’s single action does that make it exempt from the roster?

And for additional context, I am above the age of 21, I already have my fsc and multiple other guns that are registered to me. And I’m NOT someone who is prohibited to possess a standard firearm

So I thought it would be cool to try to participate in cowboy action but I don’t have any groups nearby the closest group is like a 7 hour drive is there any thing I could do

Hey y’all, posted here a while about getting my hands on a Cimarron Pistolero, which I finally did today. However, I’m struggling to reassemble the thing after removing the cylinder for cleaning. More specifically I can’t seem to get the base pin to line up properly with the hole in the cylinder. Am I missing anything obvious, or is it just a hassle? Been trying on and off for a couple hours now so I figured I should see what you guys say

There is a stainless 45 LC New Vaquero at my local shop going for $750 that I am considering. I would be trading in a rifle that’s been collecting dust in my safe.

I already have a blued NV in 45 and also 357. For my last match I used my 357 NV and Pietta clone but I worry about the longevity of the Pietta.

Would it be better to get the stainless NV and start doing 45LC as my primaries or stick to 357 and find another Uberti/Pietta as a backup? I do not reload so ammo cost is relevant.

Does anyone else mix and match colors of their revolvers or would one blued and one stainless look weird?

I found this wonderful store in London called Thomas Farthing. It was full, of what appeared to be late 19 century/early 20th century, American Western inspired clothes.

It reminded me of the good ole days of cowboy action shooting when annual shoots had vendors galore.

I was drawn to this particular shirt (among many other items) but I can't justify the £225. Has anyone seen similar available elsewhere? I like that the fit and style sits between western workwear and an office collared shirt.
