.50, smooth bore bear pistol, just finished. Shoots pretty good.

Are you going to use that on a bear ? It looks a little too short for my comfort...

It does look very nice.

Best part is that it is
LEFT HANDED.

I have no plan to use it on a bear DoubleD. I saw a couple pictures of South Carolina and eastern Tennessee pistols that were specifically described as such, I liked the line and proportion so I made one. It goes with a Tennessee Mountain rifle I made a few years ago. All the steel furniture on these guns was pounded out and fashioned by me.

Should work great for bear; shoot the guide in the knee and you can outrun him.

What the hell does that mean shoot the guide

That's hilarious.

From FAMOUS LAST WORDS, by Hugo First: " I don't need to out-run the bear, I only need to out-run you....
I guess that ensures the outcome of the "race"....

Almost neglected - Robby: I "tried" to build a pair like that - mine are .32's....yours are much better looking!

How long do you figure a bear pistol ought to be?

 

[Poboy]

How long do you figure a bear pistol ought to be?

Maybe 30'? So you can poke the bear away?

BTW, beautiful pistol and work.

 

[DOUBLEDEUCE 1]

Comfort and Poboy, that beautiful pistol, even if it was 30 feet long, would still be bear-ly long enough. The guide thing is a good idea.... Awfully rough on guides though.

Robby, very impressive work, both rifle and pistol.

Great looking pistol! Tell me about the barrel if you would. Thanks!

 

[Robby]

I cut the end off a smooth bore, .50 caliber barrel I intended to make a Bucks county gun from, turns out, It was too badly bent to use. So I turned it down and put a little swamp into it. Just under 16" and surprising to me, pretty accurate out to 25 yards.
Thanks,
Robby

 

[Spikebuck]

Pretty cool pistol, Robby. Very, very nice. And I thought the 13" swamped octagon barrel on the pistol I'm picking away at was long!

Once again Robby your fine work shines over and above many others! Well done!
