I recently acquired a Trapper flintlock pistol & putting it thru its paces.
This one is a fun pistol to play with. Enjoy:

Basically no BP activity in my area unfortunately. Still brand new .
That's a bummer. For what its worth...I shoot by myself 95% of the time anyway.
Me too. Less dry balls that way.

Great video. Gotta bust out my own pistols one of these days.
I have two percussion versions, great pistols that pack a punch.
If I lived in Maysville KY or close by then Id have someone to shoot with
Great video, Mark!
All that shooting and only two misfires, with a brand new pistol! That’s pretty good!

If you were here, you would be out shooting 3 times a week!
By the way.....I have a request of yours coming on video soon.
Something about shooting golf balls??? LOL
I think you'll like it.
I can hardly wait
in doing that, you have a great partner, and don't dry ball talking to him!

I've had my Trapper a little over a year now and have over 700 shots through it. It's been very reliable and easy on flints.
I like your videos cause you show real world results not claiming one inch groups at 1000 yds shot off horseback. I know a guy who was an excellent machine operator and could be your twin. also he is just as funny and wild like you lol
I've put 65-70 shots on this one so far & I'm on my 2nd flint.
This is an awesome gun for a factory model.
Thanks for watching....

My first time out with my own Trapper, I dry balled because I was jaw jacking with the RSO who really took an interest in it. I think I must have been talking as much as I was loading the whole time out there.Me too. Less dry balls that way.

Nice video. The flint life you got is about what I've been getting out of my own Trapper. I run 40gr of Goex fffG in mine just because I may use it for hunting at some point, and I like to train how I'll use it for practical purposes.
It really is a robust pistol, having both a wedge and a lock up under that rear piece of metal. The barrel being secured in two locations as it is seems to be different from a lot of other pistols out there.
