Joey, this is just a guess and is intended to be
positive criticism, but it looks like you don't know much about CW reenacting. Two Navy Colts won't do you any good unless you're a cavalryman, and officers carried only one revolver if they carried any at all. To be honest, any reenacting group that says, "Heck, yeah, you can be an officer!" when you have zero experience managing a unit in the field is a group you should probably avoid.
First thing you need to do is decide what you're going to "be", i.e., infantry, cavalry, artillery, medical, civilian, just to name a few obvious choices.
Then you need to read about a small library's worth of material on the War of the Rebellion with particular emphasis on the common soldier.
Then you need to join a group that looks like it does what you're interested in, in a way you think you'd like to do it, and find out what kind of gear you'll need.
Then you need to get the gear you'll need out in the field. The problem with most newbies is, they get the (cheap, shabby, incorrect) gear first and then have to sell it at a loss and get the good stuff. It's actually cheaper to get the good stuff to begin with.
Keep in mind the above is a really oversimplified, thumbnail sketch of the process. As you continue to read, study and gain experience, you'll most likely change your mind a few times.
Here are some books to start off with:
The Life of Billy Yank and
The Life of Johnny Reb by Bell I. Wiley
Battle Cry of Freedom by James M. McPherson (best one-volume history of the War)
Black Powder Handbook for Reenactors by David T.T. Smith
Here are some Websites where you should register, read
everything before you say anything, ask short, simple questions, and don't act like you know anything (because as far as the old-timers are concerned, you don't). These are places you can get a great deal of information and a lot of good advice. Just keep in mind, you'll be reading posts from people who've been there and done that, so stay quiet and
learn:
