Kentucky Percussion Pistol

Reproduced from one of the most iconic American pistols, the Kentucky Percussion Pistol was a staple for early pioneers, frontiersmen, and explorers of the 18th and 19th centuries. Gaining lasting fame at the Battle of New Orleans in 1815, this pistol became a favorite sidearm of settlers heading westward and remains one of the most recognizable firearms in American history.

This faithful Pedersoli reproduction captures the elegance and balance of the original. It features a one-piece walnut stock, case-colored sidelock, and octagonal barrel for superior handling and period authenticity. Brass furniture—including the trigger guard, ramrod thimbles, and nose cap—completes the traditional frontier aesthetic.

Whether for collectors, reenactors, or black powder enthusiasts, the Kentucky pistol offers both historical value and refined craftsmanship.
