    A good replica but I wish the cylinder engraving was a little less obvious.

    1847 Sam Colt and Texas Ranger Sam Walker collaborated to create a powerful revolver, the Walker Dragoon. Up to that point must pistols were single shot. Walker required each of his Rangers to carry two of these .44 caliber revolvers. The Dragoon was so large and heavy that it became a saddle pistol rather than holster, even during the war. Part of the changes made to the Dragoon was its size and weight, yet most civilians preferred the .36 cal. Navy model.
