I must be on the same list Dave.....I got squat but some more bills to pay. I bought a part for the El Camino well before, but just put it on around Christmas, so I guess I'm gonna count that.  (7& ......and I did buy a bunch of cigars earlier too......have 200-300 or so in the humidor. I don't wanna run out. Have everything from bottom shelf stuff to very top shelf. Can't go about my day unless I have my cigar and coffee in the morning!

This thread is really thorough. I had a friend ask me about which Dragoon is the best for him to consider so I sent him a link to this thread. It'll give him all the information he needs. Maybe we'll pick up another forum member in the deal. Great information, pards.

My only Dragoon experience is with the two I have. Both are ASM #2 Dragoons but have the later Colt leaver latch. The grip angle is sloped upward. They shoot good.  They have an authoritative voice.

Very Nice Rick!! I am getting my second Dragoon in the mail today. 1968 Replica Arms ASM model with the horizontal loading lever latch. I will post pictures most likely this weekend. I now have a Model 2 and Model 3 ASM. I can't wait to shoot them. Yeehaw!!  I will of course, in the near future, talk with Mike (GoonsGunWorks) to get these babies in fine working order. Thanks for showing us your Dragoon's Rick BAM!!

The bottom gun is my ASM 3rd Model with shoulder stock cutouts and 3 leaf rear sight. It's not much to look at, but it's a real beauty inside. It's been completely worked over my Mike, and is fully Goonerized.

The middle gun is my Uberti Whitneyville. I prefer the way it feels and handles because of the grip. It has the same handle as the Walker above it. And for me, the Walker has the best grip of them all.

No apology necessary Rick.  Good to see them a second time.
