G Dog, I shoot mostly on BLM land over here. At least when it's open. It typically gets shut down in the summer due to fire concerns. I also go to the occasional CAS match, just so I can burn some powder.
BLM land sounds risky

Hi Fingers, that is one beautiful revolver. However, why does it say United States Army on the barrel?

Regards,

Its a one of 100 American Historical Foundation Commemorative.  They also did 1 of 100 Navy, Air Force and Marine commemoratives.


I'd add pictures; but this forum won't let me

Posted before, but always worth a second look!

Dixie Gun Works (ASM) First Model Dragoon. This may have been fired, but if so, very little. I have not fired it yet. I did not put the nasty scratch on the frame.
