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.
Ordering a European pistol kit
Choose the kit with the desired wood type as well as the type of metal that you want the hardware supplied in. Then select the caliber of barrel you wish fro the list supplied with each kit. Some kits are only offered in one caliber. On those kits the barrel is already included in the kit. These stocks are pre-inlet for the barrel, lock, and trigger if that option is offered. So there can not be any substitutions on these items.
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.

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.

1759-1799 Eliott Light Dragoon Pistol
This model is credited to General George Eliott.
He introduced modifications to the previous light dragoon pistol.
These modifications included shortening the barrel to 9", making the ramrod 3/8" diameter instead of the previous 5/16" and making the frizzen screw install from the inside of the lock plate.
We have included the .62 cal smoothbore barrel in the kit. If you prefer the .58 cal, indicate your preference in the notes box at the bottom of the order form and we will make the change for you.
