A Remington .36 hit harder than a Colt .44 or .36?
Wild Bill shot a guy in the heart at 75 yds with a Colt 51.

If it's 1862, isn't it true you couldn't carry a '58 Remington because they weren't available until '63? Or am I wrong on this?
(Unless y'all are referring to the Remington-Beals..?)

Personally I'd carry a Belt Pistol of Naval Caliber (aka 1851 Navy). Seems to me to be best compromise between power and weight, plus availability of parts.
