I would not want a Bess. But as others have said, I'd certainly buy a flintlock pistol kit. Like his rifles, a pistol would be an item to use, display, and pass on to family. Most every home has room for one and it would be so nice for inheritors to explain its origin to visitors. And I can see myself carrying a pistol, particularly one that matches my Kibler rifle, when I head to the wildwood. Where legal, what a companion it would be if in the same caliber as the rifle. Also, how handy to still be armed authentically if you find a need to be a few steps away from the rifle if you have a need to be busy with with a camp chore or whatever. One more advantage: I have become a bit lazy in the woods. After killing a deer, the right thing to do is to reload before going to fetch it, but if I know the shot was good and the animal is down, I don't reload before going to get it because that necessitates firing the gun again to unload it, but with the pistol, I would not have to do that because I'd still have a loaded weapon "just in case." I didn't even mention the fun to be had with a pistol.
) I can’t think of a company I could better entrust to do it justice!
