Howdy,

I'd like to hear why folks have chosen the pistols they use for CAS. Is it looks, historical accuracy,fit,or the way it's built?

Personally,I started out with Ruger Vaqueros,but found the grips to be a bit too big for my hands. I found a used Uberti 1875 Remington with a 7 1/2 inch barrel in a gunshop. I not only liked the way that the grips felt,but I liked the looks,also. I have since matched it up with a 5 1/2 inch Remington,and I'm very happy with both.

Bellicose Bill
