I used to love beating the custom gun guys at the match with my inexpensive production guns! Now I've joined them.

This is quite an interesting pistol. In 1759, the Knights of St John in Malta ordered various pieces from the French. When Malta fell to the French in the Napoleonic wars, the pistols were taken over by them and most were subsequently lost at the battle of the Nile. The maker was Girard.

Ok, no more photos.

You did not say anything about videos.

Please excuse the hoot at the end of the video. This was one of my first shots with a flintlock and I was pretty excited.

Apology for future offense... Once my walnut-stocked .54 cal. Colonial gets here, my first flintlock, I know I''ll have to "share the joy." Hopefully, my Overmountain and Morgan's Rifles ancestors will be looking down and grinning! They're REALLY the reasons for it!
