I was thinkig of purchasing a 3rd Mod Dragoon(.44 cal), any of you have any experience with this revolver?
I was looking at the Uberti brand!

Never owned but one Colt copy BP gun, and had nothing but trouble with it. I have had much better luck with the Remington copies.

The Remy are the best built and most accurate .

tn,
Those are some nice looking revolver`s!
I do have a pair of the 1858 `s!
Those 1873`s of yours are neat! Who manufacture those?

They are made by Pietta . Uberti make then also , but I never seen them for sale . These work super , the cylinders only hold 22 grs of 2F , which is the target load for 44's and the caps can't fall off , when the loading gate closed . So loose caps are not a problem . I NEVER used the loading lever on my cap and ball gun to load , so the missing loading lever on these are great for me . I got these to shoot in SASS/CAS matches and they aren't legal in there matches , so I maybe going to sell them .
