For the past few weeks I have been working on a local guy to accept my $500 offer for a "new" Colt 2nd Gen 1st Model Dragoon with the correct box and all the factory paperwork. So far...no deal. He has yet to budge off his near $700 price. I admit I do dig this shooter as a weekend shooter, not collectable, but the fact that I can get a letter from Colt does intrigue me, just not $200 worth.
In the meantime I saw that Cabelas has the Uberti Walker on sale for $420.
Given that the original 1st model Dragoon was an improvement, technologically, over the original Walker and that the 2nd Gen is likely made of better materials than either the original Walker or Dragoon and the same could possibly be said regarding the materials in the Uberti, I am at a crossroads.
Which would you guys choose? The Colt 2nd Gen 1st model Dragoon for $700 or the Uberti Walker for $420. The difference does pay for a lot of bp, rbs, and caps.
