Glad you figured the pix thing out.
I'm also glad you have resigned yourself to buying a Dragoon. Resistance is futile...
Now, to decide....WHICH MODEL?????

Oh I think I have, the  2nd model with squared trigger guard, some one here said "reeks  Dragoon"   &\? Also considering the 1861 Navy Civilian. One or the other, but not both.


for now ).L

Hewy,

I have a 3rd Model Dragoon and love it.  But, I'm a sucker for a model with a square back tg.  Will have to add a 2nd model Dragoon soon.

Have fun.

Second is the Coupe DeVille, if you get my drift.
Squareback TG is the cat's pajamas as far as looks go, the square cylinder notches w/ leades are better than the oval ones

Well, The 2nd is very nice and you get pretty much all the upgrades .  .  .   
Then again, the Whitneyville (my favorite) gives you the very fine Walker grip  and obvious ties to the Walker!!
The 3rd !! Now that right there is the pinnacle of the horse pistol series!! Modern rounded t.g. and all the things that would be understood as the "modern S.A. " !  Couldn't go wrong there .  .  . 
Then of course,  there's only one 1st , the rest are copies (albeit with improvements) so .  .  .  .  .  . 
  (The oval notches and round bolts will work fine if set up properly .  .  .  No offense Cap !!)

I'd get the one I "think" I'd like the most and then get the rest !!!
One caveat I have with mine being converted is, they all have the "modern" locking notches so  .  .  .  .   have fun deciding!!!
