Ya know Griff……I agree…..I had a pick up truck load of those ‘51’s, 60’s, 62’s, Dragoons, 49’s, and the rest of those models staring me in the face and I lets em slide……..even had serial number 50,000 of as ‘62 that I did buy and sold it to a buddy for a $50 profit….and he complained that he couldn’t get it apart as the gun sat for a decade and I believe I made a $20 profit on it….…..all second gens……and people wonder where my hate comes from….

Believe I had maybe 30-40 of em which I sold at CASS shoots for enough profit for entry fees.

The only notable ones were a consecutive number of ‘51’s in 44 caliber (which were never made in 44....prototypes.) which I sold to RJohns here on the board or whatever his name was.

Seriously, I could have had several hundred of all models at below wholesale, but ya know, some times we don’t care….or don’t think…

Hey Griff if ya look under the barrel you will find a lever....

Umm, the trigger is technically a lever as is the hammer.
So yes they do have levers
Never spent any time with cap & ball but obviously they still work.
Yeah what GK Said too!

As much as I love a square-back Dragoon-style trigger guard from the way they look, I am finding more and more that they can be uncomfortable to actually shoot.

But I'm willing to live with that!
