Traditions 50cal Pistol... ?

[DEVERS]

Curious if these pistols (percussion) are very accurate...?

I see finished pistols on sale for $140, which is pretty appealing.

Percussion with #11 caps, I believe. I know it uses a coil spring instead of a leaf spring, but, for plinking and fun, I figure its less hassle than trying to work out my Dad's flint. (I need to nap a few flints before that thing will spark again)

Is 50cal round ball good for "starters"?

I sent you a PM.

If you are asking about the Traditions Buckhunter, then yes they are highly accurate... at least my #2xx is. Works fine with any Powder or Sub up to 80gr w/a prb, REAL or minnie ball. (mine prefers minnies).

No, its not an inline or #209 style.

Just something to compliment my 50cal Hawken rifle during the fall hunt.

Which Traditions pistol uses a coil spring? I've worked on several and they all had leaf springs. By the way, the ones I have fired were accurate. I used my Trapper to ring the 100 yard gong at Fort Old Abe on a regular basis when I lived in Wisconsin.

#2xx refered to the serial number not the ignition. I have a Pre-Traditions manufacture edition, one of the first 500 made. It is an inline, but uses a #11 cap.

So which of the "Classic" series do you have?

Trapper, Kentucky, or William Parker?

I didn't realize they used coil-spring locks. I thought the only coil-spring pistol they sold was the #11 cap inline Buckhunter.

Yes they are quite accurate.
Traditions uses a leaf spring system on all of their conventional side lock firearms.
As for caliber you say you want something to complement your hunting rifle, so you would want one with a matching caliber.
