European Pistols

These are the best and most intricate pistols available. Here are pictures of original pistols so that you can see details. Each pistol barrel design is profiled according to European Golden Mean design methods for the best appearance possible, just as was done with the originals 300 years ago.

Each order is handcrafted and inlet by hand, when ordered. This takes time, and we appreciate your patience when ordering our European pistol kits. The delay should never be unreasonable.

Ordering a European pistol kit

Choose the kit in the metal you wish for the mountings (triggerguard, buttcap & thimbles) then select a barrel from the list with each pistol.

Every part you need to build the pistol is included in the kit except finishing supplies (which are available from our catalog or you can order online). Click on the Pistol name to see the part descriptions and photos. We tailor each kit around the selected barrel, so that each part is appropriate to the finished gun.

It is important that you order the gun kit and the barrel at the same time; we install the barrel of your choice into the stock of your kit.

Please order the barrel and the kit; we will assemble the barrel before shipping your kit.

1731 French Dragoon Pistol The 1731 model pistol was not built to an exact pattern but followed some loose specifications. These were not built by an arsenal, so they vary considerably in form and decoration. These typically had between a 15 and 15 1/2" long barrel in the French form of octagon to round, without a wedding band. The 1731 model was used for military and civilian markets. The photos shown above are of an original civilian model which I have recently purchased as a study piece. The basic form and lines of this pistol are virtually the same as how our kit should be built. The hardware is fancier on this pistol than the military model that we offer. We offer this pistol with what is termed in modern times the type D hardware. We also have several trigger guards and sideplates that can be used to upgrade this model. This model was used for military and civilian markets.
