SA in 44M. Found one from an estate sale, $250, new/unfired. Safe queen bought in 1974, frame is that plumb color, barrel/gripframe a nice blue. Walnut grips fit well to frame. Action and lockup are very tight, no turn line on cylinder. B/C gap @ 4 thousandth. Seems to be very well made, steel on frame is a concern due to that plumb color "blue". 7.5" barrel. Thanks for the info...

At that price why are you asking? buy it.

Parts are a little hard to come buy but since its unused I doubt you will have any issues. LGS here had a stainless one for $599 that I almost went for. That price its a steal.

Uh....BUY IT.

They are enlarged versions of the Colt SA with mods. Parts are iffy but at that price how can you pass it up. Who cares what it looks like. Once plumb, always plumb.

It's like a $100 bill lying on the ground, you gonna pick it up?!

Thanks. Not looking to buy, but had the LGS put this back

With a link to a review on the Virginia Dragoon in 357. I had one in 44M that was lost in a house fire. Mine was solid and shot very well. I'd sure buy one at $250-$350 and be happy to get it!

the Dragoons were very well made guns. pay no attention to

the plum color. I have seen $500,000 Colt SAAs made for presidents that have that. That just means the metal has a bit more nickel steel than normal. No big deal. Winchester also had plum color frames and even had stamped on the barrel "nickel steel". The Dragoons were only available for a few years. They were made here in the states. The original Dragoons were made in Europe by one of the finest target rifle and handgun manufacturers around. Then they started making them here in the states. That is a great revolver. Don't pass it up.

Shot 12 rds. through it today, it's a keeper.

Very pleasant to shoot, larger and heavy, but so are the Dan Wessons. Marked at $399 on consignment, offered $250, done deal. FL has a 2 week hold after transfer to the FFL from the original owner, can't pick it up til 6/9/19. Nice they let me shoot it...Will post pics and range report with my 240XTP handloads. Thanks for the info.

Good deal, if you get tired of it let me know.
