CAS doesn't recreate or profess to recreate history. It's a shooting game just like IPSC and IDPA.
Anyway, the chances of a 19th Century 'cowboy' owning any firearm was slim. Certainly not a Colt. Too expensive for a guy making $40 or less a month. Most didn't own the horse they rode either.
"...Twice I have..." Shooters everywhere, shooting anything are like that. Muzzle on my 870 split at a plate match, long ago. Fortunately I noticed it and stopped the show. I literally took five steps when one of the guys handed me his Winchester, a 2200 I think, and the ammo to finish. And promptly short stroked it.
