Yes, I am a member of the WFDA. Unfortunately I cannot participate. I have nerve damage to my right hand and after about two draws I cannot feel my hand and drop my shooter. Not Good! I use and carry a Colt Bisley (1904) 4 3/4 inch. 95% original blue and good case colors. I have several Bisleys and other First Generation SAA Colts. I attend shooting events as a consultant and to show vintage siz shooters.Yes, if you mean like participating in CAS.
The Colt Model 1878 Double Action is a great gun. It had to live down an awful stigma being so close in rese which has a resemblance to the 1877 DA which was Colt's first DA. They were finicky and broke easily. The 78 didn't have a wide production. I sometimes carry one short barrel in ,45 Colt.Rebuilt this Colt 1878 up from not much, look close and you can see the ejection assembly is from a 2nd Gen SAA. It was fun learning about these old pistols, you don't see them much but I did see one in Tombstone.
Many years ago I fell deeply in love with revolver from the 1850's till the turn of the century. There is such a wide variety to drool over. Over the past fifty years I bought and traded literally hundreds of them to get where I am today. When I started looking at S&W in the 60's when they were really cheap. I could afford really cheap back then. I started with the Model 1 and kept going. Then got bit by the single action pieces and really put a dent in my finances. First, Second and Third Model Americans ten came the Russian Models not to mention Scofield. Sometimes I carry a Third Model Russian 4 inch with ivory stocks. There are just so many varieties. Have fun collecting!I collect old west guns and what I call "Noir" guns. Here's a couple of S&W DAs from that era in 44 Russian, top and 44-40 bottom.
Isn’t Texas Jack’s / Cimarron FA near you?
I bought this EP Saddlery hoster from Texas Jack last year. It fit the Bearcat I gifted to my 10 year old grandson.It's in Fredericksburg, a few hours away from me. It's definitely closer to me than it is to you.
The Schofields are fun shooters and it's really fun breaking open the action and throwing spent brass everywhere.
I'm not as big of a fan of those shorter barrel Remingtons, mainly due to the look but I wouldn't kick 'em out of bed for eating crackers either.
