OK, Know the difference between the Walker and the others (longer cylinder, no loading lever latch) but what is the difference between the Dragoon models? The Dixie catalog lists the 1st model as having oval cylinder stop notices, the 2nd as having rectangular cylinder stop notches, and the 3rd as having rectangular cylinder stop notches, a round trigger guard, and cut for a shoulder stock. Are there other differences between the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Dragoon Models? And then where does the Whitneyville Model Dragoon come in? What makes it different?
I am planning on buying a Dragoon as a shooter so I believe I want the 2nd or 3rd model for the rectangular cylinder stop notches but am open to suggestions on which would be better as a "shooter." Are there any differences in taking them apart? I am partial to the look of the square trigger guard and am leaning toward the 2nd Model.
Thanks in advance,
