Just curious...it seems like all the Cowboy guns used in Cowboy action competitions are single action only......it would be interesting to have a double action Cowboy style gun....

There were double action revolvers around the old west. I think S&W was making a duty revolver in the 1880's. Whether they will let you compete is up to the contest. Some cowboy action competitions have an "Open" category for anything from 1920 or 1910 back to just after the Civil War. That category even allows old style M1911s.

Those old S&W revolvers are good choices. My g/f has one. Newer model, but still.
