Shooting the Pedersoli flintlock Kentucky pistol kit

[duelist1954]

In this video I'll shoot the flintlock pistol I built using Pedersoli's Kentucky pistol kit. This is a .45 caliber muzzleloading pistol. I bought the kit from Dixie Gunworks. If you are interested in watching me build this pistol, check out this playlist

Great vids as always. is the scoop in the right side top of the stock in front of the lock intentional?

Very nice work on that Pedersoli Kentucky flintlock pistol.

I like what you did to the sights Mike. My Harpers Ferry Pedersoli flinter kit did not come with a rear sight but I think that I will have one added as it would increase the accuracy of the shooter by 500%.

I understand why they did not put one on it as I have an original 1840 something Dutch naval percussion pistol without any sights at all. I guess it was intended to be used while the barrel was in contact with the target.

If you watch the build series you'll get to see me bemoaning that divot in front of the lock.
