New Member - just finished my first build. Thoughts?

Hello everyone. I just discovered this awesome forum and signed up. I'm new to muzzle loaders and just finished my first build: hand carving and finishing a .50 cal percussion Kentucky Pistol. I've already learned so much just perusing this forum. Looking forward to sharing is sharing with all of you. And remember... Pistols at dawn!

Hi and welcome from northern New Mexico. If that is your first build, I'd say you did alright! How does it shoot?

 

[JollyDeathCow]

Thanks! First time at the range, had some misfires but now she runs smoothly.

Welcome! Looks great!

Very impressive carving! Is it a Pedersoli pistol kit?

You did a really good job.

Thoughts? I think you should send it to me for further scrutiny!

Welcome from New York State.

NICE carving - but that grip looks somewhat rebated. Maybe for concealed carry? ;-)

Oh yea, no one will notice this 3 pound little mini cannon tucked into my waist...

You gotta be kidding! This is wonderful! Only thing about the grips on those Traditions, is they're way to stubby. Your work, on the other hand, is really nice! I think the CVA brand had better grip shape, but they're discontinued, I believe.
