The Walker, while awe-inspiring, really is too big as anything other than a horse pistol. A Dragoon would be the way to go.
Roverguy, Thank you. That is exactly what the Walkers were. Two were usually carried, one on each side of the front of the saddle.The Walker, while awe-inspiring, really is too big as anything other than a horse pistol. A Dragoon would be the way to go.
Never noticed before, but that arbor on the Dragoon sure looks giant. Are they way bigger/that much bigger than on the 1860?

Here's the Walker compared to a `51 Navy.Never noticed before, but that arbor on the Dragoon sure looks giant. Are they way bigger/that much bigger than on the 1860?
Well, I don't know about throwing the cylinder, but having the whole revolver thrown at you sure would hurt! Not to mention getting whacked over the head with it.
He wasn't just on subs, he was on a nuke, ICBM also known as a "boomer". Serious stuff.You were on subs?
Don't try Colorado either. Wyoming or Montana and the Dakota's are about all that are left-maybe Texas.You were on subs?

I have bought and sold like a half dozen of walker repops. Fired one. I think they are at or beyond the limits of human ergonomics.Never noticed before, but that arbor on the Dragoon sure looks giant. Are they way bigger/that much bigger than on the 1860?

Many buy these and either never get used or are immediately relegated to novelty status for display or conversation. I admire those who can actually fire one on a regular basis let alone just carry one in the field!!It's all what you get used to, I really like my Walkers. I've carried one hunting rabbits numerous times and got used to the weight. There's a lot of firepower in one those beasts.
