There are a few guys who are shooting Colts, but not many want to put such valuable guns through the rigor of thousands and thousands of rounds per year. The Rugers Vaqueros are by far the most popular pistols. Most (80%?) shoot .38 special as it is much less expensive to reload than, say, .45 Colt. Some shoot black powder (or subs) and even shoot .44-40 or other classic cartridges.

I want to go watch one of those events in the spring. I know there's an active group here in NC. I'm sure you're right, much more sensible to wail away with Rugers rather than with a vintage SAA. 38 is easy to reload and fun to shoot. I've got a Ruger 44 mag, and while it's accurate and reliable, the 38 is much more enjoyable to plink with.
I just got an old Colt in 32-30.... it's a police positive and not particularly valuable but I'm looking forward to shooting it. I reload for 32-30 and it's also a pleasant round thru a revolver.

Lots of videos on youtube. Some of the best is a series by Long Hunter.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbM_MZBSKng There are about a dozen videos in this series that discuss all the different aspects of CAS. There are about 100 active competitors in the Richmond, VA area, and 5 clubs within an hour of Richmond. You can shoot at least 6 times a month if you want at one or the other club. (I shoot maybe twice/three times/month). A bunch of these guys go to matches in NC every year, including the NC State Championship, though I have not done that yet. I'm shooting the rifle and pistols here in a match in 2016. The guy standing behind me is the timer operator/range officer. There is a major emphasis on safety, and lots of rules around loading and handling the guns.

Picked this up new a couple weeks ago, Turkish made "Canuck" 9mm 1911, goofy name IMO but it seems to be well made and was reasonably priced. Only 105 rnds thru it so far. Laser is green and much easier to see in daylight than a red dot.

 On a more serious note, the 1911 is my favorite handgun. They feel good in the hand and shoot so nice.

BLACK PISTOLS MATTER!
Hard to improve on a 1911. They're fine pistols and they're now built by a wide variety of competent folks. I've heard the Rock Island / Armscorp versions are good too. I've got a couple of 1911 historical "clones" ....a Ballister Monina and a Argentine Sistema Colt from the early 30's I believe. Great pistols and other than my P09 luger, the most comfortable, naturally pointing handgun I've had the pleasure to shoot.

Originally I was planning on upgrading the sights but the laser was on sale last weekend... havent decided if it will stay on. Ive been watchin the used market for a 9mm all winter but nothing exciting came up so I went new... but still cheap.... the Tisas Canuck was $100 less than an M&P... and I dont care much for those unless the trigger is upgraded which is another $150. But Ya, you cant go wrong with a 1911... and gettin your garden tractor addiction to pay for it is even better

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
