Kentucky Percussion Pistol 

A classic American sidearm reproduced with period detail, the Kentucky Percussion Pistol was a must-have for pioneers and explorers of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Celebrated for its role at the Battle of New Orleans, this pistol became a favored companion of settlers moving west — prized for balance, reliability, and straightforward function.

This Pedersoli reproduction features:

• A one-piece oil-finished walnut stock offering superb balance and handling

• Case-colored sidelock and traditionally finished metalwork for authentic appearance

• Octagonal barrel with a fixed front sight and deep, historically styled rifling (12 grooves)

• Wooden ramrod with brass end and brass ramrod thimbles for period-correct detail

• Single trigger, single-action operation appropriate to the percussion era

Light, elegant, and historically faithful, the Kentucky pistol is ideal for collectors, living-history use, and black-powder shooting.
