Howdy Cavalier X and welcome. Just start out shooting 49er with an 1897 pump, that way you can use it in Wild Bunch too. But first, before you spend one dime on guns or leather go to several local matches. Bring what you have, most likely some folks will loan you what eles you need. Call the Match Directors to let them know yer coming, they can often have some different stuff for you to try. Local clubs are usually a good place to find some deals. Good Luck
