    Colt Walker vs Dragoon more fun to shoot?

    None of the above. Both of these revolvers were meant to be carried in pommel holsters on the saddle of a horse. Do you have a horse? Yes I know Gus carried one in Lonesome Dove. but remember movie six guns can shoot multiple rounds with out reloading so go figure. The only time I ever remember...

    Cleaning between shots

    I have read reports from legitimate sources Pyrodex, unless very carefully cleaned, will micro etch some barrel steels. Not ruining the barrel but making a sligyt roughness to catch fouling. I hate to say this but I date back to corrosive chlorate primers and caps which required careful...

    Cleaning between shots
