Shooting the Pedersoli flintlock Kentucky pistol kit

[duelist1954]

In this video I'll shoot the flintlock pistol I built using Pedersoli's Kentucky pistol kit. This is a .45 caliber muzzleloading pistol. I bought the kit from Dixie Gunworks. If you are interested in watching me build this pistol, check out this playlist

Thanks for posting. I currently own no BP pistols and have been thinking about one for some time. I see Cabela's sells this one finished for $370. Cabela's Pedersoli Kentucky Best price I've found. I'd probably rub back that "too blue" finish on the barrel a bit as shipped.

I don't know why Pedersoli, who builds pretty good guns, insists on using those crappy sights on so many of their guns. If I do order one, I'll be ready with new sights in hand to install.

Thanks again!

Another great video Mike. I would have liked to see how 3 or 4 shots grouped though.

I hear you Don. That was a filming session where I tried to do too much...trying to make up for all the lost range days due to bad weather.

By the time I got to the pistol I had already been at the range for six hours. I just ran out of time before I could do all the scenes that I'd wanted to.

Wonderful series on building that pistol, Mike. I learned things that I would never have thought of. Thanks so much for this!
