Very nice, indeed. Yep. Makes me want to build a pistol, too.

This looks really accomplished. This is your second build? Or second flintlock pistol?

Second flintlock. I've built a couple rifles and a few stocks but nothing to this caliber or quality. Those 2 are my first 2 flintlocks.

Beautiful work.  A very nice pistol, and a lovely piece of maple.  Your first two flintlocks prove you have a lot of talent, a real knack for this.  Can't wait to see what you do next.

Very nice indeed.  Is the trigger some sort of single set??
It has me wondering.

Don't complain about the pic quality. Your phone takes better pics than my little Nikon Coolpix.

No specific profile, i dont even remember the measurements.i couldnt find any measurements so i took my rifles measurements scaled down and altered some to something that looked good on paper and went after it.
