*Five or six shots and you’re out of the fight***
Look at some of the old illustrations of the 1850s - 1870s. Every one carried two-three or four revolvers.
Exactly right, it was common to carry 3 to 7. And today two Colt pythons and a snuby Smith and Wesson would be a nice combo.
Met a guy years ago, half way across the country, who carried a .460 Roland (built on a Springfield Armory frame, IIRC) PLUS a scandium-framed Smith 29. Said that carrying two guns kind of balanced things out for him, especially sitting in a car seat. Guess it worked for him!
