Go let the air out of your tires and then tell yourself Hoy must have done it.

Welcome Dinohntr, I'm just a little south of you in the Kansas City area. I'm
about a year younger than you. Been shooting these things for over 50 yrs.
We have two big 3-day shoots at our club here and we get quite a few from
your state that come down and shoot. Hope to see you sometime. I shoot
competition mostly. Just pistols anymore. Good to have you on here.

Oh, some of the ones from Iowa I shoot with are Bob Campbell, and old
coot they call Pevine. Stay away from him

Daggone right.....

AND

Shooting a Walker is an emotion-filled experience even in the day time.

Doggoneit!!! The want list just keeps getting bigger! Honestly though the Dragoon is next on the list after the open tops.

Does the Dragoon have a smaller cylinder than the walker? I.E. less powder= Less KABOOM??

 

[Dinohntr]

In answer to your question on the Dragoon vs Walker.The Dragoon is almost the same as the Walker with the Dragoon having a shorter cylinder and barrel.The cylinder is the same diameter as the Walker but shorter by about a 1/4" and the barrel is shorter by about 1-1/2" As far a Kaboom the Dragoon is a little lighter.The loads of Pyrodex P in the two are about 10 gns lighter for the Dragoon than the Walker. I have never shot 60 gns. in the Walker and stay with 50 gns. I use 40 gns. in the Dragoon. They both make quite a Boom.I think ether one will make you very happy.The one thing I like about the Walker is it's God awful size,it's really a handfull of iron.

I love my Walker. I don't know if it's just mine, but it's reliable as they come. 'Been shooting it for 24 years now and zero problems. It came perfectly timed and has stayed that way. And my loading lever doesn't even drop with 60 grain loads, but mostly I use 40 in it.
