CIVIL WAR REENACTMENT
We use the .36 and the .44s in CIVIL WAR reenactment.
I ride with TERRY's TEXAS RANGERs CSA . The CAVALRY wore the pistol on the right side reversed in a flapper so they would not fall out when at full gallop. The sword goes on the left so right handers can draw it. The reason you mount a horse from the left side is because the sword is hanging on your left.
FORWARD THE COLORS,
