new 3rd dragoon

[RMFnLA]

Yeah, I would think some pins would be needed as recoil would eventually shock the stars loose from their inlay-ed seats if only glued in. Bet that was some work getting the star contoured to the grip profile then the careful inlay-ment work .

Is that like inletting..?

M de Land - "I think both the Walkers and Dragoons were made more for mounted cavalry fighting where one could drop a horse as well as rider.'

absolutely. not hard to forget when you hold one. would love to see the holster rig used on horses. stiffen shows one but not much detail.
ranges I've read of are from 'in your face' to 50-75 yards, horse-to horse.

Yes but much shallower for things like patch boxes, thumb plates and charms.

Not having any Dragoon models I have to ask, are the grips some what similar in size and shape as they look pretty close to me ?

No. They are different, and they feel different. In addition to my Walker I have a pair of 2nd Dragoons and a 1st Dragoon. The 'Goons all feel alike; fatter in the hand and shorter in length. The Walker is more slim and longer.
