What type of competition?

[TwoGuns]

I have two revolvers:
Ruger Blackhawk .45 Colt single action
Ruger SP101 5-shot .357

I have tried to read through the different organizations match/handgun rules and regs. Am I correct to assume that I will need a six-shot DA revolver for most practical shooting matches?

Aside from Cowboy shooting, are there matches/classes for single action?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

You can shoot your SA, but your really gonna want a DA by the end of the first stage.

The is no division for SA revolvers in either USPSA, IDPA or ICORE. CAS would be fun, but you have get all the western garb.

Try to find yourself a S&W K or N frame, used, they are still pretty cheap. A decent holster, a few speed loaders/moon clips and come join the fun.

Thanks dmiculek - I looked at some of the stages set up in Thibodeaux for their matches and noticed that it does all cover 6 shots and a reload. I have been planning on a larger DA revolver ... may have to up the timeline for some fun.
