Changed my arsenal...! The 38s are history. I got me a Feinwerkbeau Rogers&Spencer 44 percusion, and that is one fine pice of machinery. A litle light on the trigger, the first match I used it, I had a few misses due to to the fact that as a target shooter you are endulged to be almost there, but in CAS been almost there can result in a few premature shots.  I just need some more practice, and I am not in to this to be the "fastest".....!  It just happends that I love old firearms and history and to dress up!
I am looking for another hogleg to pair up with the R&S..... Been thinking of Ruger Old Army, but to new and not historicly acurate either..... So I have desided on a Remington 1858 5,5"............ That will be a mans arsenal, toghether with the Spencer 56-50 and the double street-howitzer...!

OK - I took the plunge.  I bought an Uberti New Model Russian (6 1/2") and an Uberti 1872 Colt Open Top (7 1/2") and .44 Russian ammo to go with the Old Girl.  With a little luck, I'll have them at my second shoot on Saturaday.  We'll see how well UPS delivers.  If all goes well, I'll probably be making holsters this winter.

Hi - UPS did deliver on time, and the 44 Russian is really a great pistol round.  It delivered great accuracy and reasonable power/recoil.  'Used a commercial 200 gr RNFP on top of ~3.6 gr. of Trail Boss (9 gr. by volume).
The New Model Russian wasn't quite as handy as the Colt Open Top, but she really shoots great, and was significantly easier to load and clean. The Colt was a real joy to shoot (the black powder rounds were a hoot!), but what a pain to unload and especially to clean.  All-in-all a great pair.

Hello SSS,

It really would be great if some of you would post photos of your Spencer and your revolver/holster set up.  You know what they say,..."a picture is worth a thousand words".  If you don't know how to post a photo, just Email me your photos (to) fsgrand2@fairpoint.net  and I'll add them to your original post on this thread, or you can start a new post and I'll add the photos there.

As I did on the very first post to this thread:

When I worked out my persona, it included owning S&W Schofields with the addition of the Spencer to my outfit.  I have the Slim Jim holster and money/cartridge belt by Old West Reproductions (Rick Bauchman) and an original Spencer shotgun. What do you guys carry to go along with your Spencer?

Pards,

I go with reproduction(s) Richards-Mason conversion and New Model Russian in .44 Russian and an original Webley Mk. V .455 for my waist armament. For long arms I just purchased the Chiappa Firearms-Armi Sport-Taylors Spencer rifle in .56-50 and a previously purchased Liberty II SXS 12 gauge. 1862 Pocket Police for back up.






I have sent pictures to Two Flints who may be able to reduce the size of the files and if able to do so I give him permission to post them here.

Captain John.

Well, I guess I should update mine.

I use the Taylor's 56-50 Spencer carbine as a main match rifle with a Liberty II external hammered 12 gauge as my shotgun. 





And for my pistols, I use a new Uberti 1858 gated factory cartridge conversion and an 1872 Open Top, both in .45 Colt (though I usually shoot 230 grain Schofields in them).
