Colt Navy London or Third Model Dragoon

[Zonie]

Different strokes for different folks.

Being the skinny dude that I am, the only way I can shoot my Walker or 3rd Model Dragoon is by using a two hand hold.

My regular Colts never gave me a problem when shooting with a one hand hold.

The Dragoons were a response to some of the shortfalls of the Walker. The Navy was in response to some of the shortfalls of the Dragoons. None of the big guns holster well.

Start with the Navy and learn how to run these things, then spring for the big gun. You won't regret it.

I fired a Dragoon one handed. Once. :redface: :youcrazy:
I won't do that again...

:thumbsup: Just as I said (almost), lol!

Once he's hooked, he'll have several (like we all do)!

Yeah, I bet ya most of us who are long time BP enthusiasts could outfit a squad with firearms. Some of us I know for a fact could outfit an entire platoon.

Company, Battallion, Brigade.... I don't know any (private individual) that can personally outfit a Division or Corps.............. yet :wink: .

Split the difference and get an 1860 Army. Seriously, you need to handle them both; shoot them if possible to settle the matter.
