22-1055G Colt Dragoon M1849 Denix Replica Gun
22-1114 Double Barrel M1881 Denix Pistol - "Street Howitzer"

Many of the Denix replica Civil War/Old West percussion "ball & cap" guns can fire round caps. Some of the Colonial-style percussion replicas can also fire round caps. If it has a nipple, you can usually get a cap to fire, (or a modified cap.)

can you cover all of the nips on the dragoon with caps and it still be able to rotate?

[ReplicaGuns]

@B33fJ3rk33 yes it would be possible, with some patience. Each cap has to be modified to fit, but yes it could be done, and still rotate. Although some caps would probably fall off as the cylinder is rotated though, as the nip fit is not that great

Would you say the Denix Dragoon is worth getting? I bought one of their black models from the old production line however it's a bit loose and rattles a bit, and feels like it might fall apart.

[ReplicaGuns]

@Slikhedgehog Mine seems solid. The back end of the loading lever moves around a bit, but that's the way it's built. ..and probably how the real ones are, I'm guessing. ( I think you can hear it jangling in the vid) The grips move slightly, because there is only one attachment point, but it is minor. I don't get the feeling that it will fall apart though.

@InVerbiusVerum Yep, it's a pre-fire model (it has the black finish with gold trigger guard etc). I actually wish they'd manufacture them in black/gold again, it looks better in my opinion.

[InVerbiusVerum]

@Slikhedgehog yours could be a pre-factory fire model

[Slikhedgehog]

@ReplicaGuns Ah fair enough, the entire frame past the cylinder on mine seems to jiggle. Then again, at least it's a Dragoon and not a Walker. I heard that the Colt Walker lacked a little notch for the loading lever to clip into, and often when being fired, the recoil would jolt the loading lever down and it would fall into the cylinder.
