Yet another single action in .45 Colt. This one is an Interarms Virginian Dragoon. These were manufactured in Alexandria, Virginia in the mid '70's through the mid '80's as a competitor to the Ruger single action. In my opinion, the Virginian Dragoon is a superior gun in every respect. I have three of them; one in .357 mag, one .44 mag, and this .45 Colt. I use this one for my monster 300 grain / 1,300 fps loads. It handles them with aplomb, and does a far better job than the Rugers of dealing with the heavy recoil of that load. The grips are the key - much bigger than the Blackhawk, but smaller than the Bisely. They really work well.
