    Was it ever relevant? Iirc the most popular Wild West guns were shotguns and rifles that had practical use beyond shooting humans and medium game.
    Carrying a Big Iron may mean one of three things:
    1. You're a vicious and a killer, though a youth of 24
    2. You're here to do some business
    3. You have never been assaulted and your gun choice is not based on practical use.

      Is your point that you should carry a shotgun for self defense?
      You don't carry a gun because you want to be assaulted, you carry one because you don't want to be assaulted. Not getting assaulted it the end goal here.

        No, my point is that if you want good result, you should have hardware that fits the task and offers as little downsides as possible.
        For example, no one said that you can't shoot an Indian from one mile with a Sharps gun with Iron or aperture sights, but today there are guns better suited for the task.

        Nonsense.
        If I know that you carry, I would just assault you in the way you don't see me coming. And maybe take the gun with me.
        And if I don't, you can surprise me with a sudden double tap as I try to mug you as the harmless prey you seem to be

      People carries revolvers in their coats/shirts because most gunfights happened in a spontaneous manner. You'd be fricking dead trying to take out your rifle/shotgun when someone fires from their coat.

    If you're looking for a compact .44/.45. Although Charter Arms makes some small double action five shooters and S&W has the model 69 chambered in .44 magnum. There are also some really tiny .22s like the Ruger Bearcat and NAA revolvers.

      I carry a 357 single action when Im out doing chores on the property. Although, when I am going to be working in the barn, I will carry a 22 revolver with 22 quiet shorts to shoot mice. The larp is fun.
      Now when I am out and about, I will wear a normal semi auto pistol like a normal person. Im not trying to fan the hammer on some cowpokes robbing my stagecoach. The single action is just fine at home though.

      I really like open tops. I am a big fan of my taylors richard mason.
      What caliber is yours? Is it taylors or cimarron?

        Taylor's (Uberti) 1871 .38spl conversion. I love this gun so much. The open top aesthetic has always appealed to me ever since the Ennio Morricone westerns

          I used to have a cimarron open top in 45 colt, but I sold it because I am an idiot. It was the only gun I had in 45 colt. Everything of mine is now 357(38) or 22.
          Its a good gun pardner. Treat it well.

          incredibly based. do you take the shotgun or rifle around too? can we get some details on that knife and belt rig

          The shotgun has been for shooting things for fun. I like ripping both barrels into things. The rifle almost saw some action earlier. Goddamn whistle pig digging holes again. I dont normally carry it around because its a little big and heavy for a yard gun (24 inch octagonal barrel), besides, I have a henry 22 that I can beat up without regret.
          The large knife is a cold steel frontier bowie that I use to cut big stuff like a machete. 90 percent of the time I just use the old timer woodsman for general stuff. The belt was handmade by someone at a trade fair and the small holster was made by myself. The black powder holster was made by someone else at the trade fair.
          Like I said, larping is a lot of fun.

              The overwhelming majority of self defense shootings that do happen involve five shots or less. A cap and ball revolver would be perfectly effective, not to mention hot .45 LC from a SAA. You’re not John Wick and neither is anyone else on this basket weaving forum.

                The frick are you talking about? The point is that the self defense shootings which do happen, which we’ve agreed are extremely rare, involve shooting some urban youth at 10 feet in an alley once or twice and then calling the police. An antiquated, obsolete gun is just as capable of accomplishing this task, as is evidenced by the fact that people used these antiquated, obsolete guns for that exact purpose for decades.

                I hope you get capped by a Black person while you fumble with your 200 year old technology.
                Go watch literally any modern defensive shooting. Shit, go watch the one at the taco shop that happened like a month ago.
                Put yourself in the guy who shot the Black person dead's shoes and think
                >would this have gone as well if I was larping as Wyatt Earp and tried what he did?

                Hint: no. You would have gotten off 1, maybe 2 shots, and probably missed both of them while you tried to fan your hammer.

Im just not autistic enough to think im going to find myself in a situation where the performance difference between those guns and OP’s SAA will matter. That being the case, OP should carry his SAA if it makes him happy.

                Yeah, because pulling out artillery size SAA, wienering the hammer and double tapping a nog is just as easy as doing the same with double action Makarov or subcompact Glock.

    I have done it on various occasions, and when I was younger I even had to pull a blackpowder Remington on someone. They'll still put someone in the dirt and they aren't that much slower to shoot than any other pistol, at least for me. Of course, if you have to reload you're fricked, but that's just a general truth.
    Carry an automatic if you can though, or at least a double action swing out or top break revolver.

    Revolvers encourage getting gud at shooting, are extremely reliable, and can readily handle hot loads whereas semi-autos vary

    Plus, get a proper revolver with the right angled grip, and that will mean all the difference in a pinch when some jogger comes at you.
