Lets see your blackpowder pistols

[greyhaven]

The pics, I hope

Here are some of my guns. A boxed pair, and a pocket rifle. The buttstock is removeable, so it's a pistol, too.

More guns

Here is a group of pistols that took all the prizes at Whidbey Island rendezvous in 2011, and the team that shot 'em. All Grey Haven underhammers. That's me on the left. Bragging rights-I took first.

These are some nice pistols. If you don't mind me asking, what calibers are the 2 top right pistols, and the top left pistol ?

Those are 32 caliber. I shoot "0" Buckshot with a .010 thick patch.

Frames?

Zimmerstutsen: your post - #10 - the last two, with the wraparound grips, appear to be adapted TOZ Free Pistols. Is that correct?

Here's all I have left....God only knows how many I've owned, sold and swapped over the years. The MH I had to sell unfortunately.

Made for me by Bob Worthington at Greyhaven Arms. .50 caliber.

Pete: sort of. The upper one is a Yazel muzzleloader, The bottom is indeed a TOZ 22 RF Olympic match pistol. (I posted it by mistake, but it does show the similar stock lines) Paul Piburn's wife has a pistol built on a Martini action similar to the TOZ action, but a muzzleloader. It is a beaut!

Or my matchlock custom pistol



This has a real "buckhorn" rear sight and a custom "coon rod" trigger

Notice the bore location of the custom match target barrel

Cool. i had the same trigger on a custom made rubber band gun i had when i was a cub scout. It was a finely crafted piece, put together with the finest scrap 2x4's i could find in the wood pile

Zip

Certainly expands the concept of the "zip gun".

Just picked this up today.

First blackpowder gun and first revolver!

 

[MattShlock]

Is it just me or is that an especially beautiful Colt Army he just got himself!?

 

[davepool]

It is a pretty one, so's the knife.

 

[SleazyRider]

She ain't exactly "high end," but I love her just the same: my Pietta "sheriffs model" .36 calibre. Got 'er on the cheap, second hand, so I used it to hone my primitive machining skills, truing up the face of the cylinder, reducing the mainspring pressure, putting the hammer, hammer roller and spring on roller bearings, trigger job, et cetera, et cetera. I even made imitation "slick shot" nipples so the caps stay on, and cut a purchase on the cylinder for a concealed o-ring. The action is slicker'n owl poop, and I can fan six shots without a jam or malfunction of any kind. I'm thinkin' Wild Bill would be proud.

Pietta Spiller and Burr, a favorite of mine:

 

[SleazyRider]

My first and still the best, the Pietta Remington 1858 New Army .44 Calibre:

I don't have any experience with these to compare it against, but I was blown away by how surprisingly shiny, slick and tight it is for $250 at Cabelas.
