Really? That was pretty much uncalled for.Not sure WHY you'd want to put a 17th century trigger on a cheap, poorly designed 20th century pistol.
Perfect, this man gets it
Many people forget that target shooting with muzzleloaders didn't just end in the 1860s and all the guns just thrown away. There are many stories about guys hunting and shooting with muzzleloaders as a "primary" gun up through the 1940s. Obviously people still do but ya know what I mean .
They kept these guns going with newer parts, added sights, tinkered with them etc and I'm going for a little bit of that idea with these pistols, plus I have a grand total of about $650 in the pair which wouldn't even buy a higher end target model. It's all about having fun why else are we here.
If you really want to do it you might explore silver soldering a steel ball bearing to your design. I would cut it with a ball cutting attachment on my lathe, but the bearing would be easier.
Absolutely, there have been many handguns without trigger guards, in my opinion as long as they are used as range guns , I don't see an issue. That said I'm carrying an NAA type revolver right now.The Colt Paterson pistol did not have a trigger guard. It featured a drop down folding trigger that remained in the frame until the gun was cocked. Cocking the revolver caused the trigger to drop down so it could be pulled.
The Remington Pocket pistol did not have a trigger guard. It has a "spur" trigger which basically is a solid piece of the frame hanging down with the movable trigger inside of it. The actual trigger only moves forward out of the protective spur or lug when the gun is cocked.
I was at a line shoot and the person next to me shot a ball thru the bill of his hat. He was lucky, had the pistol been at a few degrees different it would have passed thru his chin. As it was, it barely missed his nose. It scared him when he put his hat back on and found out how close the ball came to hitting him.
The pistol did not have a trigger guard.
We all get to chose what we shoot and whom we shoot next to.
