Raining Today So I Am Not Going To The Range

I was planning on taking the Dragoon I bought from Gary and seeing how accurately I can load it and shoot it. That'll wait. We need the rain and I ain't complaining.

The Dragoon is by Uberti and has not been used much if at all.

I took it apart and cleaned it, polished some of the interior parts and opened up the little bitty "V" rear sight notch. I need something a bit wider and deeper.

I am pleased with the gun. The chambers and the barrel take a .457" diameter ball. The .457" ball cuts a nice little ring of lead when you seat it. Pushing a ball through the barrel showed a good fit and no tight or loose spots.

It is quite a lot larger than a SAA!

I am looking forward to shooting it and learning it. Thinking it would be fun to whack a deer with it.
