Pedersoli Navy Moll and Kentucky flinters opions

[cmdrted]

Hello gentleman, I need opions experiences for the Pedersoli flinters .45 . i ask because these are on the shortlist for flinter pistols to match up a .45 cal rifle I recently ordered. I've seen the short threads here for the Kentucky version, I'm a little apprehensive as the bore may not be "classic 440 but could be other. Also the Navy pistol they have is simply a work of art, or at least the picture is. It may be worth the extra bucks for this on.

Pedersoli make a fine gun ....I have one made in 1969 and its still sparking fine!

Have two Pedersoli flintlocks. These are not in .45 cal but are .54 cal. FIRST FLINTLOCK I ever loaded and never have had a missfire yet! ( knock on wood)! These pistols are well made and pretty darn accurate. :thumbsup:

I have had a flint .54 Kentucky pistol for a few years and it is an accurate shooter that sparks well. About the only "beef" I have with it is the heavy trigger pull. I've stoned it but it still is a hard trigger...
Well made and good fit and finish overall...

The Pedersoli Kentucky Flintlock does have a stiff trigger from the factory, I had a trigger job done and it helped a lot. It sparks well and for the price I have no compliants with it. I am using .440 balls, .015 patches and 22 grains of 3F.

The Pedersoli Charles Moore is about double the price of a Kentucky, but it is a nice pistol and I really like the trigger and it will shoot rings around the Kentucky.

With the design of the Charles Moore, it qualifies as a Kentucky pistol in the NMLRA matches.

For fun the Kentucky is fine, for serious winning I would go with the Charles Moore.
