Here's one of my single-shot pistols, this one's a home-built .45 that I put together on an H&A underhammer action.
Steve, I really like your Hopkins and Allen underhammer pistol (good design) with the long barrel and specialized target sights, with the exception of the pistol grip, but I am sure it has a distinct purpose for you. I am not denigrating it a bit because I have seen photos of custom, one-of-a-kind target pistols (single-shot or multi-shot) that are built for one purpose: to put as many shots close together into the 10 ring as possible, slow fire. For example:
I have photos of many others.
There must be a small fraternity of shooters who do this, and as I am not a party to this type of shooting, I would like to learn more, but could not do it on my old man budget.
There must be an organization that sets the rules for the action type (flintlock, percussion, or centerfire) for competition and there appears to be nothing on this forum or other forums I visit concerning this.
If you have more info, start a new thread here and we will all learn more.
Thanks for posting your unique pistol.
I am sorry, but this probably the wrong forum to post this, but he opened the door.
Jim
