Beautiful. Do you have any idea of the age? They were mentioned quite early in the colonies.

Welcome back Mr. Spence!

 

[Whitworth]

Sweet, for some reason I find saw handles strangely attractive the older I get.

 

[Mika.G]

Welcome back Mr. Spence!

Thanks

Have you shot this?

 

[Musketeer]

Talk about a low bore axis. If this took Glock mags it'd be wildly popular these days.

 

[Mika.G]

Have you shot this?

No, not yet, just got it home, and I'm newly operated on (prostate cancer) but soon I'm just recovering.

Best recovery hopes for you.

 

[Mika.G]

Best recovery hopes for you.

Thanks

 

[LongWalker]

Nice piece, hope it shoots well for you! Best wishes for your recovery, so you can get out and shoot it!

I'll be interested in your thoughts once you've had some range time with it. When I had the opportunity to handle/shoot a number of sawhandled pistols, it seemed harder to shoot one well if it didn't fit my hand. My hand seemed to adapt better to various sizes/shapes of a traditional-gripped pistol. I was never sure how much of this was due to the actual grip shape/size, and how much was due to limited experience. (The closest I found to a sawhandle that I could shoot well was from Ten Ring Precision, and those were hardly a "traditional" flintlock.)

 

[Mika.G]

I think it shoots well even though it is without a groove. yes i'm probably out on the shooting range soon, thanks.

I think the saw handled pistols were fitted to their owners hand.
