Welcome to Ron Spomer Outdoors! #smithandwessonpartner In the days of the Old West, it made sense to carry a rifle and revolver chambered in the same cartridge. Simplicity, convenience, and practicality all in one system. But does that idea still hold up today? In this video, Ron Spomer explores a modern take on the “cowboy” setup using a rifle and revolver both chambered in 45 Colt, looking at how this classic concept performs in the real world. We cover: Advantages of a shared cartridge Performance differences between rifle and revolver Handling, recoil, and practicality Where this setup still makes sense today Some ideas from the past are worth revisiting.
