This thread is so timely...I just purchased a NIB 2nd model dragoon from a pard over on SASS, great shooter...just fired 24 rounds through it on Tuesday. 18 rounds at a target out at 75 yards using 30 grains on fffg, still shot high and a bit right. I adjusted and set the target at 50 yards, I'm happy with it; a bit more shooting and I'll be in there. Just to let you all know, the cylinder did tighten up a bit at 18 rounds, used a little "moose milk" and it was fine. The loading lever also dropped about six times.

At any rate, it's a good shooter (great trigger pull out of the box). BTW I have, and shoot a Walker, and two 1860 Army's.
