Again, I'm talking about Pedersoli's Charles Moore pistol, and not the Bounty. The Moore pistol is very high quality construction. When it is clean and firing well, it is very accurate.
I am a bit frustrated with the set trigger. When set, it doesn't always kick the sear nock out of the tumbler notch. This usually happens during the first 5 or 6 shots, but after a bit of fussing, the thing generally works ok. It does have occasional hiccups where the set trigger fires, but nothing else happens.
In the unset position, trigger pull is great, probably too large for accurate target shooting.
The lock is well constructed, solid and mostly reliable providing you have a new and sharp flint. Flints don't last very long, but are easily replaced.
When I got the gun, I found that the sight picture was set so that the front sight appeared at the very bottom of the rear sight cleft. Didn't like that picture, so I made a new front sight that brought the tops of the 2 sights into alignment. The garage manufactured sight works fine.
The fit and finish of the gun are very good.
I am a bit worried about the availability of replacement parts, but haven't had to face that issue yet.
I got the gun for a quarter of the normal retail price, so I'm happy with it despite the breech shortcomings. I'm only an average to below average marksman, but at a rendezvous that was held 2 weeks ago, I nearly cleaned a pistol course with it. Missed the last 2 targets because of hang fires.
My overall reaction is that Pedersoli produces quality firearms, and providing that the price is right, and the breech is a normal plug arrangement, wouldn't hesitate to purchase another one
