It is the 1800's, what are you carrying? Assuming you had the money to buy them. What would you carry out on the range? What would you carry in town? Would you be a gambler, a cowboy, a buisinesman, and while in a town that prohibitied the carrying of firearms like Dodge City, would you carry anyway.
Carried on me out on the range
I would go with Colt SA Army .45 71/2, Colt DA Thunderer .41 5 inch, Smith&Wesson DA .44 Russian 4 inch.
Long guns.
Winchester Model 1873
Double Barrel 10 guage not sawed off
If I was a gambler or cowboy or made my money in or did my business in the the saloons I would turn everything in Accept my Russian .44. I would keep that tucked away in a shoulder holster.
