There is a guy on AA who really advocates underhammers. Here's his site with instructions.

It seems that he is really an under hammer enthusiast. Isn't he?

Hi musketman
Thanks for the nice pictures from old underhammer. So far to the history of underhammer.
I doubt that I find any underhammer pistol in good condition.
I rather looking for a supplier of new models. Maybe someone who is a specialist of it. :winking:

Assuming you navigated to the underhammer site you should have seen the H&A underhammer. Other than custom makers this is the only UH pistol I know of.
This guy claims that underhammers are more accurate than sidelocks. I doubt this having seen sidelocks shoot 50's with 3 or 4 x's at 50 yards with iron (peep/globe) sights. The theory is that the sidelocks rotate from the hammer falling. How much can a one ounce hammer can twist an 8 lb. rifle from 5/8 inch off center axis?
I have a cheap Spanish kentucky pistol from the 70's or 80's and a Colt 1860 army replica, both of which are lots of fun to shoot, the Kentucky has the fastest flintlock I've ever seen.
Another thing, the H&A UH pistol was under $40 back in the 70's, I don't know what they go for now. If you aren't completely sold on them you might want to look at other pistol kits such as http://trackofthewolf.com/ offers.
Good luck
