I have grown fond of the 1847 Walker Colt in the years since I started educating myself on some of the firearms of the old west.
I'm thinking of picking up an 1847 Walker replica. Now I know ZERO about the replicas available and I dont own any black powder firearms. I've read the sticky on black powder revolvers. Didnt realize all the extra work involved in black powder but I would like to broaden my horizons, plus it would be a blast to touch off that monster pistol.

Any opinions on the replicas avalible

I really like the Walker but I know the Dragoons have updates and maybe better if I'm going to shoot it very much.

Thanks for your feedback

Todd
