All Dragoons were American made. The Virginian was the Hammerli made revolver, a few being made by Uberti or maybe Pieta.

Apparently the 357 / 45 dragoons were made by Hammerli, but due to the u.s. dollar depreciation in the mid-70s Sam Cummings decided to open a plant in plan in Midland Virginia to manufacture the Virginian Dragoon in 44 Magnum in-house by interarms
I had one back in 1980’s only 44mag revolver I’ve ever owned frame size was a little too big for me so I traded it Ruger Vaquero. Nice gun enjoy itHiya Guys ...
I just closed escrow on my first real big bore revolver, and in the fashion that I tend to do things ( go big or go home) this time is no different . This is my interarms Virginian Dragoon in 44 Mag. It came with the better part of four 50 rounds of once fired brass, a lot of which has already been primed and a 3 piece RCBS die set to reload for it that I can take full advantage of now that I have a reloading bench .
I've always wanted a big bore revolver in 44 that fit my hands but so far everyone I've handled felt too small, kind of like a tinker toy but not this one. It's got a case-hardened frame, heavy bull barrel and nice adjustable sights on it. The lock-up is nice and tight, the cylinder spins free and smooth and the rotation from chamber to chamber is firm and positive and it has a real nice single action trigger. Overall I'd say it's pretty damn nice for my first real revolver ...
