Built on a steel frame with a color case-hardened finish, this Dakota pairs classic lines with durable materials. The blued steel barrel and six-shot fluted cylinder complement the brass grip frame, while the smooth wood plow-handle grips offer a traditional feel.
The revolver uses a single-action mechanism with a right-side loading gate and a full-length ejector rod housing for unloading. The 7.5-inch barrel provides a long sight radius, and the fixed sights with a ramped front blade offer a straightforward, dependable sighting setup.
Markings and provenance are well-documented. The barrel is stamped "DAKOTA CAL. 357 MAGNUM," and the frame carries Italian proof and date marks. Dual importer markings from Intercontinental Arms and Salford Imports (Culver City, California) appear alongside "ARMI JAGER ITALY," clearly identifying its import and manufacturing history.
