Re: Firearm partners
I open carried a LOT when I used to shoot and own handguns.
I had an all purpose, western, Triple K leather belt and two Triple K leather holsters that worked for several Ruger single action revolvers in 22lr/22wmr and for the Ruger Blackawks in 45Long Colt and 357Magnum.
I liked to use the western rig better in the woods/wilderness than my shoulder holsters but I did USE the shoulder holsters in the woods/wilderness too. Plus at the range or when traveling.
I could adjust and get to my firearm, if needed, while wearing the western rig over shorts, jeans, jackets and even OVER a ranch or duster winter coat.

Re: Firearm partners
My pairings have changed over the decades. For a long time I collected WWII firearms. My favorites were Enfields both No 1’s and No 4’s with a No 5 thrown in. I collected them from as many countries and plants as possible. I had an FFL C&R license and could buy them wholesale and have them shipped directly to my home. As a secondary collection I also had other military rifles made between 1939 and 1945.
For the last 10 years I have collected mostly rimfire.

Re: Firearm partners
I paired my Golden Boy with a Ruger Wrangler .22 so I had a Single action, though I had other 22s I could carry.
The Big Boy 357 Carbine is Mated with the Uberti Birdshead Single action though I also had other 38s and 357s.
The Henrys just call out for a Single Action partner in matching caliber.

I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.

Re: Firearm partners
Of course there are other pairings. I often paired my Glock 22 carried in a strong side holster, with my Glock 27 (mini) in a pocket holster in the Jacket. Or carry my Sig P220 in my shoulder holster, with my Kimber compact behind my right hip.

Re: Firearm partners
Thanks Dave.
On another note, I chose not to scope the BB CCH 45. My Long Ranger got a scope, well because it is for Lonnggg Raaaage targets and the .30-30 got a scope because it is my business rifle for nutria. The BB CCH is for cowboy fun.

Re: Firearm partners
Speaking of .45 Long Colt, I was looking for a .45 LC double action Smith and Wesson to go with my BB .45LC rifle. Well, I found it at my favorite gun shop near camp, a model 25.
They are a nice pair.

Re: Firearm partners
Here's a couple,
The H001 with the Wrangler and one of the Rough Riders.
The the 357's Rossi and Colt King Cobra.
The 44's, the BBB and Vaquero, and a 44 C&B 1851.
A pair of 41 mags. My BBS early edition & Ruger BH.
And the 45's a Marlin Cowboy and Rossi, with the Ruger bird's head grip, BH convertible and the Cimmaron.
Got a couple 32's but they aren't exactly the same, Marlin 1892 in 32 colt and a S&W in 32 s&w.
