Tye Riverman, SASS #41433 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 The last time I did this was around 2005, so I guess it is time to do it again. My interest was piqued at the SHOT Show when I was talking to one of the major importers, who told me that 5 1/2" was the most popular length they sold and .45 Colt was the most popular caliber. This is quite different than what I see at matches, but my eyeball experience is pretty parochial, so I thought I'd do this survey again. I'll be posting this on several CAs discussion boards, so please only answer once. I'll compile the answers on a spread sheet and provide results when responses wrap up. If you shoot a whole passel of different guns at Cas matches, please pick the predominant model. If you can't narrow it down I'm going to put your tally into a bucket labeled "Various" OK, here's the survey. What Guns do you predominantly shoot at CAS matches: I. What CAS category do you shoot in?....49'r II. Revolvers: 1. Ruger/Colt/Clones/C&B...USFAs from Longhunter 2. Barrel length...........4 3/4 3. Caliber.................45 "Long" Colt III. Rifles: 1.
