I shoot NCOWS which is the most PC of CAS and like my gear to be historically accurate.
I hope you are saying Period Correct (which is a term I really dislike) and not Politically Correct.
And I hope you are not saying my Smith and Wesson New Model Number Three, made in 1882, and my Merwin Hulbert Pocket Army, made sometime between 1880 and 1883 are somehow not historically accurate representatives of firearms made in the 19th Century. The Smith is chambered for the 44 Russian cartridge and the MH is chambered for 44-40, and of course I only shoot them with Black Powder. This photo was taken at the start of the SASS New Hampshire State championship match this past summer.
My point is that there are some of us in the Single Action Shooting Society who are every bit as concerned with the historical accuracy of our firearms as those who shoot in NCOWS, without getting snooty about it. The reason I don't shoot NCOWS is because there are no NCOWS events within hundreds of miles of where I live. SASS is a much bigger organization and I can shoot SASS events within less than an hour of where I live.
