I’ve got two Armi San Marco  #2 Dragoons.  I wouldn’t trade or sell either one. There are some differences with these from the current Uberti products.  The Uberti are probably better made.  The ram latch on theASM is he later Colt model rather than the rocker latch. He ASM grip base slopes upward   The parts are not interchangeable  They shoot very well.

These and all Colt Dragoons will handle 50 grains of ff or fff black.  I’ve used pyrodex 30 gr pellets in on for good effect. I usually use  wonder wad between the powder and a .454 ball. With 40 grains of powder. .35 will make a milder load. The weight of the dragoon is 4lb and2 oz.  The 30 or 35 grain load has very mild recoil, but a nice booming voice.
   You can find the ASM Dragoons for sale on GB for less than the Uberti models.

Nice brace of Dragoons Rick.

I have to agree with you. My ASM Dragoon is my best gun. Specially now that it's been Goonerized.
