Virginian Dragoon 357 ?????

**bripro** · October 10th, 2009, 07:34 PM

I came across a used Interarms Virginian Dragoon 357 with 7.5 inch barrel today. It is almost identical in size as the Ruger Super Blackhawk 44. This gun really got my attention and felt nice in my hands. It is in good shape and has a smooth single action trigger pull. The price is 335. Does anyone have any experience with this brand? Hows the price as well? Thanks Brian

No experience with the .357 but the .44 Mags. are nice, solid guns. In todays world the price does not sound too high.

BUY IT! BUY IT NOW!

I have a Virginian Dragoon Silhouette in 44mag flavor. It is by far the most accurate handgun I've ever shot, including my Colt Python.

They are built like a tank, the later US made models are beefier than the big Rugers. The only drawback is - replacement parts are non-existent.

EDIT: one other issue, the design of the grips, which are aligned by a couple studs, can cause them to crack at the stud holes when using heavy loads in the 44mag and 45lc guns.
