Description
With an improved loading lever, shorter cylinder and lighter weight, the 1848 Dragoon had significant improvements over the Colt Walker and was the first Colt pistol to be purchased by the U.S. Military. Four models of the dragoon were produced; the first 240 by Eli Whitney utilized some Walker parts and are known as Whitneyville Dragoons or Transition Walkers, followed by the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Models.
