The American Flintlock Pistol
circa 1775-1815
Model PK-1
Historically, this pistol could have been made anywhere in the Colonies or eastern states during the last quarter of the 18th century or the first few years of the 19th century.
The 13" long swamped barrel gives the pistol a long, graceful appearance. The additional length also makes it practical (and legal) as a choice for deer or turkey hunting in those states that have approved flintlock pistols. For those states that require an actual bore length of 12 inches, our 13" barrel gives you ½ inch to spare.
Some of the more successful pistol competitors at the national shoots have examined the pistol and found the stock architecture enables one to lock-in a good grip for serious target work. The longer sight radius is an added advantage, especially at longer distances.

English Flintlock Pistol
Circa 1750-1790
Model PK-2
This pistol was patterned after an original English piece we own that was made in the mid to late 1700’s. However, American made pistols in the period shared many of the same features and dimensions of the English pistols.
The 9” barrel is octagon-to-round with a slight swell at the muzzle, and is available either rifled or smooth bore.
Stock wood can be curly maple, cherry, American walnut, or English walnut. If making an English pistol one should choose the English walnut.
The lock is one of our Queen Ann pistol locks. The original pistol does not have a side plate, but rather incorporates two small brass rings into the stock by which the lock bolts come to rest against.
