Some things just keep finding me lately. This latest one...a stainless Virginian Dragoon .44 mag with 6" barrel found its way back home to me! (And not easy to find this combination of stainless with 6" barrel either!) This one is near perfect, but no box. (A slight bummer for me.) But for the price I paid, I am NOT complaining at all! So happy to find this configuration, but my search continues for a 45 Colt 6" variant. I will post up a review when I get to shoot it and plan on comparing it to one of my my BH's, which I so love. Off the top, I can tell you this thing an absolute serious chunk of steel. Solid and overly built in every way (to the eye and in hand). Can't wait to shoot it and test out some loads. But so far...yup, she's a purty thing! Grips are off currently for a varnish removal and oil rub finish. Also looking at some aftermarket custom grip options and will of course reach out on here to our resident grip experts!

Nice find. The 6.0" barrel is my favorite on the Virginian Dragoon. I have a 6.0" stainless .45 Colt like you're after and love it. I'll keep my eyes open for another. If I find one, I'll drop you a line. -Lee www.singleactions.com"Chasing perfection five shots at a time"

And also really appreciate your in depth write up about the Virginian Dragoons. Very informative and helpful article to be sure! (currently pinned on my favorites!) And I can see where searching for and collecting these could be a bit addicting. I've been a fan of them for a while now, and will be sure to add a few more eventually...when I can find them! And like you, that 6" barrel is the sweet-spot!
