This section is to show you the basic requirements that the 2nd Missouri Cavalry maintains. Before purchasing weapons consult with your Chain of Command.

Weapons: Features

Cavalry Carbines

There is a vast number of manufacturers of cavalry carbines. We are currently trying to research what was issued to the Unit. A period shotgun is also acceptable.

Pistols

There are many pistols available and acceptable for use. The Colt and the Remington being the most popular. Most pistols are available as Navy (36 caliber) and Army (44 caliber) Models.

Sabers

Carrying either the Model 1840 Wristbreaker or the Model 1860 Light Cavalry Saber is acceptable. Purchase a saber that is rated for live steel combat, as the cheap reproductions do not handle mounted live fighting. The link site is out of stock, but find a used one from this company if possible.
