The Walker and Dragoon are both great guns with a lot of eye appeal and are equally impressive to fire but... If you're just starting out in Black Powder you might want to think twice before jumping off the deep end with one of these. They tend to eat a LOT of powder, they each weigh right at five pounds loaded, they don't holster well unless the holster is on your horse and if your initial experience with the Walker is dis-appointing or too expensive to follow up on, you may not continue.
The '51 Navy is an excellent first gun and you can get them inexpensive enough at Cabela's that the short financial recovery might still allow you to buy a Walker soon afterward if you find the sport is for you.
