Colt 3rd model dragoon?

[TomADC]

How much difference between a 3rd model Dragoon & a Walker?

 

[Fingers McGee]

Walker - OAL - 15 1/2 inch, 9 inch barrel, long cylinder will hold 65 gr powder; weight 4 lb, 8 oz; V type mainspring, round bolt with oval slots; Square back triggerguard
3rd Model Dragoon - OAL 14 inches, 7 1/2 inch barrel, cylinder holds around 55 grains, weight 4 lb, 2 oz; flat mainspring (like Army/Navy pistols), rectanguklar bolt and slots; rounded back (oval) triggerguard

Fingers I was hoping you'd pop in here.

Not sure exactly what you were looking for but The Walker seems to have more of a cult following,and tend to demand a price premium, even though the Dragoon's arguably are all improved by comparison.

I expanded on the reply a little on the 58 forum

IMHO, the Walker has the distinction of being the hugest but the Dragoons are more refined and practical and almost as huge. I love my 3rd model!

Or you could go "Whitneyville" and get a little bit of both..........
