    Recommend flintlock target pistol

    Hi Folks,

    Would those of you in the know please recommend a flintlock target pistol? I'm looking for good accuracy and good sights, and don't mind if the gun is traditional in appearance or a modern design. While my immediate plan is to shoot informally, I do compete in bullseye pistol and high power rifle almost every week, so I may decide to compete with the flintlock pistol too.

    Thanks, Tom

    Look for a Lapage, they were made as target pistols.
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!
