Love the Sharps, Ken! Post some pix and info in this thread if you get time! It's an original, I'm guessing?

Yes the sharps is original. shoots great too.  1 inch at 50 yds.
    and the picture does not show the 62 Pocket Police that arrived yesterday.  My wife calls it the LAST ONE!.   and I guess I have to listen to her. 
   here is  the new pocket .36.

I sold them to help me get started in CAS. I should have kept the Bacon.

I didn't realize you were involved in CAS? Did you enjoy it? I know very little about it but would love to hear your take on it if you feel like sharing.

also, I'm probably beatin a dead horse here. The Whitneyville, is the transitional gun from Walker to Dragoon? So the 1st Gen Dragoon is not the Whitneyville? correct? This stuff is awesome. Thanks Hawg.

The Whitneyville was between the Walker and dragoon. CAS was ok. It was more to it than I was led to believe when I got into it. The shooting part was fun. The rest of it not so much,
