It is such a relief not to hear the word "Dragoon" in this video!! Many thanks for that!! First Model, Second Model and Third Model Dragoons appeared AFTER the 1847 Walker model shown here. Even John Wayne, in True Grit, erroneously utters "Dragoon" when describing the massive 1847 Walker he takes out of Kim Darby's bag. Very informative video I thought. Thanks again.
Using the proven TKO Method of measuring Power, The Walker and Dragoons with the right Powder, like 777, Swiss BP,KIK BP and Black MZ and with the Right Projectile like my New VKV 240 and 255 Grain Bullets are capable of exceeding 357 and 41 Magnum Power with more sectional density and a bigger hole!! Videos demonstrating my bullet are on my channel and Mr. Hovey Smith's Channel.
@njmvermont to each his own, but the Walker is a powerful pistol. Frankly, mine scares the daylights out of me and the open top steel frame is quite robust. The fact that it weighs over four pounds is an impediment to regular use. It is not considered a horse pistol because it can be placed in a horse scabbard; it's a horse pistol because it was made to take down a man on a horse by killing the horse. Until .357 mag, it was considered the most powerful revolver on earth.
Alright neat little introductory video on the Walker, despite the "THEY SHAWT A MILLION INJUNS, YEEHAW!" stuff, Now do a video on the Paterson - the first true revolver.
YES, THE FIRST, I don't consider the Collier pistol a true revolver, it was a revovling flintlock system.
@whitethronebooks this is not the conventional wisdom about this firearm; if you watch the Uberti video, it documents that Sam Walker specified the gun be capable of taking down a horse. I've seen it elsewhere.
@Moosey1789 It could probably take down a horse. A Remington 1856 with a .44 ball and 30 grains of powder preforms close to a .38 special. I've killed a cow with a 9mm so a .38 special could probably take out a horse just fine. The walker has more chamber space than a Remington so it has the capacity to be even more powerful. Not something i would choose to hunt with but it could be done.
i have this weapon, and its a heavy beast. its heavy! folks, you either have to really tighten your belt or walk around all day pulling your trousers up. it belongs on a horse saddle for sure. if your new to black powder revolver shooting, aviod this one until you can understand why this is for what it is.
When I see a Colt (uberti) Walker .44 Cal. I think of Clint Eastwood ..... The Outlaw Josey Wales he had one in each hand and knew how to handle them both as well as his back the 1860 Army Colt
although i really want this gun uberti products are really expensive i checked their website for the guns and didn't find any... probably cause they sell them only at stores or something... so i moved onto the knives where they cost up to hundreds in dollars!!! but you gotta learn to spend some money now and so best you get it from here than some over priced auction

It was called a horse pistol, not because it could bring down a horse, but because it was intended to be fired from horseback.

I hope it's not an exact replica. Didn't the originals have a tendency to blow up?
