I voted for Other.. cause I just enjoy shooting my Rems so much right now.  They are better pistols than I deserve... and no, you can't have them Wink

I also plan to like my new Opentops in 45 Schofield.. so Other gets some reinforcement.

But I would have voted for Ruger as well.  I've got a pair of RVBs and I never, ever worry about how they will shoot and if they will work.  They just don't have the panache' of the Rems, or Opentops, or even Replicas..

Adios,

Definitively my Rems '58, go feeling, never had a single problem with them, most of the time used C&B but sometimes with a convertion cylinder( do I have to mention the brand? well, it's only two initials  Wink)

To me it`s Rugers only because of the durability and price. That also goes for my off-topic big-game rifle.

My first singleaction was a SuperBlackhawk. Before CAS, the fun part was heavy loads. When I started with CAS I used my Super for a while, then changed to a Schofield. But my hands ain`t to big, so i didn`t like the grip for duelistshooting. Then I changed to 5\5 Vaqueros, and hopefully that will be my last trade.

Once in a while I shoot cap & ball, and then I find the Remington 1858 very reliable and accurate.

I am shooting Ruger Bisley Vaqueros as my main guns.  I like the grip and the lower hammer for shooting duelist. I was shooting 1875 Remingtons mainly until I got the RBV's. The Remingtons point  well and fun to shoot but I was having problems shooting BP with them so I got the RBV's.

My 75 Remingtons, because they are the best design ever made! Cool

It's all good. But Ruger has been the gateway for more shooters getting into CAS than all others combined. The vast majority are very shootable out of the box and a set of Wolff springs makes them very smooth. I love the way my Schofields shoot, but I want to be buried with my RV's.

Hext, I have and like them all Grin  but you said "favorite"  so I picked "other" since my favotites are my Smith & Wesson New Models.

I shoot my best groups with my Vaqueros.

Like my Colt Clones pretty well and shoot them on occasion.  But my favorites are hands down the Smiths.  Now if someone would just make a clone Grin

I've been a fan of the Colt SAA since I began watching westerns as a kid.  I still think they're the best.  Between my wife and I we now have eight of them.  But...just got a USFA
