Most of the early mountain men and traders carried a single-barreled pistol and they were popular for years.These pistols had proven themselves reliable, and that was of great importance to a trapper who might have to stake his life on a pistol's ability to provide a back-up shot in what could be a desperate situation.The trapper pistol's primitive-style adjustable rear sight, octagonal barrel and doubleset triggers (capable of firing set or unset) allow you to predictably put your shots on target.This particular pistol is 50 caliber percussion,s a 9.75" octagonal blued barrel, and a hardwood grip.Action: SAOCaliber: 50 CalBarrel Length: 9.75"Sights: Prim/BladeIgnition: #11 PercussionOal: 15.50"Stock Description: HardwoodWeight: 2.88 lbsFinish: BluedTwist: 1:20"Barrel Description: OctagonBarrel Length Range: 9" to 9.99"Weight Range: 2 lbs to 2.99 lbs
