I just saw that episode for the first time last night. It WAS 22 mag and the narrator said it was a copy of a colt that Teddy Roosevelt had used. Don't know more....looks like Peg has it right.
"CHOOT IT LIDABITH,  IT COMIN IN DA BOOT"!!!

You gotta love a show like this that needs subtitles  ;D

The scary thing is that I can understand these Cajans  :-\

I think the gun has been identified pretty well, but I always pay attention to what is going on and what the narrators are saying on these shows.  The seven foot gators that weigh 400# and the 53 foot van on an ice road that weighs 80 tons are just a couple of the things that make me say Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmm  ::)

Actually they make me say "That guy could make more money with less risk selling pulled pork sandwiches, beer and Playboys in Kabul. WTF is he thinking"? But that's just me. ;)

Could be the risk that makes it worth doing.

Yep.....7-9 months worth of salary for 60 days on ice and catching gators for a month.



And gators are heavier than they appear.....due to being mostly muscle........they have some fat, but it is mainly lean meat which is heavier by volume...........and good to eat, I might add.  :D

Virginian Dragoon SA pistols from back in the 70's and 80's....... Called the "Swiss Safety".
I just acquired one on temporary loan from a friend (with possibility I may be able to purchase later). IMHO, it is a beautiful gun and sturdily made, at least comparable in heft to a standard Ruger Blackhawk or any Colt/SA clone of the period.

I kept thinking it was a Swiss gun but couldn't remember the name. Thanks for clearing that up.

DAMN  I REALLY do have CRS!

 I OWNED a Virginia Dragoon (44 mag) and now that you mention it a remember that safety!  Gun was a real POS.  Bad timing and sometimes the cylinder would just hang up and ya had ta slap the crap out of it to get it to move again! 

Sold it for a profit ;)

I've read that quality depended greatly (up/down) on the year it was made due to who controlled the company at the time. The one I have in hand is slick in the action department and locks up properly (might have been luck of the draw, so to speak).

My CRS may be worse!
I just remembered I CURRENTLY OWN a Virginia Dragoon! :o   I inherited it years ago and haven't even shot it. (I always grab one of the 629s when I want 44)
After digging it out of the safe, lo and behold, it does have two notches in the pin, now I know what to call it. The cylinder lockup could be tighter, it's OK, but the action does what it is supposed to do with the appr. clicks.
