Hey guys! Check this out:
Guess what that is? It's the .54 caliber muzzle of my beautiful Harper's Ferry M1805 percussion conversion horse pistol!
This is now my favorite black powder gun to shoot. Modeled after what could be found in the militia arsenals in the South at the start of the U.S. Civil War, this is a Pedersoli made replica. Smoothbore, .54 caliber. Surprisingly accurate with the right load. Pistols of this type would have been carried by Confederate cavalry early on in the war between the states. This gun was made for the demand of N-SSA shooters for the newly introduced smoothbore pistol event they now host. While I'm not an N-SSA member, I've experienced a lot of joy shooting this horse pistol. These can be found for sale at Dixie Gun Works, and are a very good quality representation of an under appreciated class of Civil War era weapons. It wasn't just Colt and Remington revolvers that fought the war, but these old single shot pistols as well.
Thanks for reading all, Take care!
