Out of curiosity I went to look. An Uberti Whitneyville Dragoon looked at me with sad eyes. Well they have free shipping.We get excited and buy things we might not need.

It arrived today and I have made a video and put it on YouTube. Sorry about the video, my camera was set on zoom so it's too close and makes the movements rapid.

I believe you will love it. For years I wanted a First Model Dragoon, then summer last year saw the Whitneyville on DGW's website, so I ordered them both. I haven't been able to get out and shoot them yet, but from time to time I get them out while watching tv and just handle them. I am considering getting holsters for them both and carrying them on short outdoor hikes when I do start shooting them. I love the feel of them.Out of curiosity I went to look.

I have the first model, I think. It has the oval notches on cylinder. But it has a flat spring and roller on hammer where the originals didn't.I believe you will love it.

When will the factory correct this? Why is it such a permanent feature in these revolvers? Is there some cost-related mfg. issue that keeps the factory from making guns with a correct arbor? Just wonderin'.I ordered one of these this last weekend. We'll see what it's like when it gets here. I don't mind fixing some stuff as long as it's not terrible. With a Uberti I'm already resigned to the fact I'll have to fix the short arbor to make it reliable and repeatable out of the box.
