One thing to remember about the those large dragoon revolvers is the Bessemer process for steel. They were not made out of the best material. Hence the reason your M1860 colt could be made out of a bit better material and,,,,, most of all smaller and lighter!!!! Early Whitneyville Walker cylinders were "casehardened"!!!!!! Making them extremely brittle.
