I have one, just can't get the pics sent...
I would say sign me up, but I can't get the picture to transfer. Where is a nine year old kid when you need one? And I can't set my dang VCR either. This may take some doing...
Colt 2nd Gen, 3rd Model Dragoon (purchased in 1976)

Dragoon history resource?
OK – Where are we at in these early days/
Very well placed indeed.
We have members who have COLT ORIGINAL DRAGOONS plus a good sprinkling of COLT 2nd Gen guns! That is NOT your average toy shop!!!!
But I would like this club to go a bit further if we can and I seek a volunteer! This ‘club’ has been asked for often and long enough! There is no reason why we cannot become a central source of information on the Dragoon revolvers.
What I have in mind is an identification list (with images) of what the various models were/are and the ‘volunteer’ maintains the list. Who wants to re-write history because it is still very current today! If we can twist someone’s arm we may be awarded a ‘sticky’ to head up the club forums?

post #14
is more accurate .
There was a Regiment called the Dragoons , fact .
The gun is named after that reginment . Whether tis here now or then , the name Dragoon came from that regiment , and certainly wasn't stemmed from any collectors vision , period .

How could I possibly miss you Fingers? But I cannot second guess your desire to become part of this company - I have been a bit free as it is!
Stick up a post and you are straight in!

Lre sights
OYEBTEN. Thanks for jogging the memory because this was an important and irritating point that needed overcoming.
Although the LRE project is not ‘historically accurate’ much beyond the 3rd model Dragoon being cut for, and fitted with a shoulder stock – Those that were so modified were fitted with flip-up two leaf long range sights.
These sights were not replicated in the Italian Repros and I could not find anyone who currently makes a set. However, with a bit of digging I did come up with something that is currently manufactured and while not being the original two flip up (It actually has five flip ups) was similar in design and appearance so I decided on that.
At about $70 each they are not cheap but will give the LRE a bit more of an edge ‘far out’ where is should be reaching. I will try an capture an image and post it.

Das Jaeger,
I see no reason why the baby Dragoons should not have a place here at all - in fact it would be very good for an overall coverage.

Consider it stuck.
Actually, the ASM military model made in the 70s had exact replica of the flip up sights..
