I would think it makes less of a difference with a short pistol barrel than in a rifle? Or am I mistaken?

Also I just like having a nice gun to shoot with. Isn't that half of the fun?

That's a good way of looking at it!

Regarding the rules it is a bit difficult as the rules of the German "Deutscher Schützenbund" and the MLAIC are not identical just similar... I'll try to find a pistol that is acceptable for events using either rules. According to the German regulations it is ok to use either smooth or rifled...

Thank you for those suggestions but I am really only interested in flintlock guns.

Could you point me to the page where the pistols are listed? I looked at the results but only found names and scores not make and type of pistols.

That‘s good advice, I‘ll do that. Besides the two models mentioned the La Page is used often I believe (and custom pistols like Tilo Dedinski - Steinschloßpistole Tatham & Egg).

In Germany, Bavaria to be more specific

Matches at 25 meters standing

Quite understandable.

Entirely possible. But e.g. a Kibler rifle is in the same price range and there is plenty of conversation about them. Might be that there are way fewer pistol target shooters than say hunters around.

No one with first hand experience about those guns around?

Is there a higher end option for a Colt 1851 Navy or a Remington New Model Army 1858 than Pietta or Uberti?

I am looking for a flintlock target pistol. Both the Pedersoli Mortimer and the Tatham&Egg (rifled barrel, cal. .44) look good. Would you recommend one over the other? Or something else entirely?

Just making sure I understand you correctly: you feel they are too expensive for how they perform?

It's been four weeks after my second e-mail. I don't expect they'll respond....

You think their prices are (too) high?

It is similar to two ‚s‘ or rather ‚sz‘. Pronounce it like the ‚ss‘ in ‚pass‘, maybe even more sharply. It evolved from two letters ‚s‘ stacked on top of each other.

You can use interesting German letters here: Steinschloßbüchse!

I see. That makes sense. Thanks for the answer! Do you use (hot) water to clean the barrel even though it is still attached to the stock?
