    The "Fifth Edition, Blue Book of Modern Black Powder Arms" says between $525.00 and $650.00. That is for 98%-100%.

    Better yet, why not take that bad boy out to the range? I have the very gun from Cabela's and love it; Lots of boom, lots of smoke, lots of kick. LOTS of fun.

    I have been seeing asking prices well over $650 lately. Do not know what they are actually selling for. I have the same gun, new in the box, that I also bought when they first came out and never got around to shooting. Finaly bought a generic version for $150 and have been shooting it. Lots of fun. Big boom, more than accurate enough. Anything shot with it will cease to be a problem.

    Remember reading Walker's letters to Sam'l Colt about their performance
    once a trooper was able to get one into his hand.
    The originals took 60 grains of powder and could easily knock down a Mexican or his horse.
    Walker Dragoons were the most powerful handguns until the 357 Mag..
    A lot of barrels burst and had to be shortened.
    The book was "Arms and Ammunition in the U.S. Service". I forgot the author of this old book.
