pistols for match shooting
Yeah, that is the problem. If you like it that way, thats fine with me, but an expansive way if you are in need of a real good target pistol. In Germany a place to look for used muzzle loaders is: http://www.vorderlader.com/sonderposten.html. "Ausstellungsstücke" being guns on display in... -

pistols for match shooting
If you are looking for real target pistols, first they are expansive. As my forewriters already mentioned, look at the pistols form Pedersoli, Mang, Le Page, Kuchenreuther, Charles Moore, Carlton Siber my be a chopice too. Another one is "Feinwerkbau History Nr. 1" Underhamme... -

Small flintlock pistols?
In Germany I am only aware of the former Palmetto's recreation, the so called "La fayette" Derringer as flint lock. No longer available and I can't say more about it. The percussion recreation of the so called "Philadelphia Derringer" from Ardesa shoots. Though it is only about a 1" rifled... -

Very light loads?
In the right light is affirmative. I remember a competiton two or three years ago. You could see .45 ACP rounds fly to target. They are going about 260 m/s. The ligth condition did last 30 minutes. But it is easier to see, if the bullet is much slower. Therefore a bullet from a muzzle loader... -

Very light loads?
Not intentionally. If you insert the bullet first, you screw the pin out and trickle in some powder through the hole. A new one :redface: forgot twice to fill in the powder first instead he rammed the ball down first. The first ball was patched. 3 grain of swiss fuse powder. The paper target... -

Competiton in Germany

Competiton in Germany
I do something wrong with .44. I think not holding steady enough after pulling the trigger. It is not alway good. Some days are bad. But than I have difficulties with my eyes. I have -4.75 dioptrien. For shooting, the right eye glass has -4,25 dioptrien. Sights are clear, target is blurred... -

Yeah, if you buy cheap you pay twice. :surrender: I have ordered a Boutet match pistol (flint lock) fully custom made. That's a totaly different class. Will takes some time. Without goin into discussion about mass producers of replicas, even those who produce the expansive ones do not always... -

Small flintlock pistols?

I Need Your Advise
Yeah, I forgot about Trigger pull. Zimmerstutzen is right, if you have to pull 3 kg it is dufficult to hit consitently. In competiton shooting with a pistol you normally have either "französichen Rückstecher = 1 Trigger pushed forward and than pull to shoot" or "German Stecher = 2 Trigger... -

Small flintlock pistols?
Something like that. Once ago in a time not so far away, there has been a model, called La Fayette in caliber .41. I found an old advertisement from HEGE in Germany. There was no manufacturer given. It is no longer available.
