friend has an asm made dragoon. It is very well-finished and looks as good or better than a uberti. He did have to quite a bit of work on the important stuff though. They had dropped the bolt in without fitting. He had to fit a new one. The trigger was heavy and he adjusted that. the major work was hand polishing the chambers to the point that they were larger than the bore and all pretty much the same size. At first it would not group but since he got the chambers regulated, it works very well with .454 or .457 balls.

Several years ago ASM was selling a peace maker clone called the "Peacekeeper" or some such. Had a superior blue/caseharded finish that was said to be by Turnbull restorations. Very lightly sprung with light trigger pull too. The gunmagazine cowboy writers loved it but apparently either quality assurance or aftermarket support was so poor that the company went broke.
