45 Kentucky Pistol

[user 49399]

Fixed up a “new” kit for my .45 caliber Kentucky pistol. I would like to find a .45 caliber rifle to match it.

Banjo man, what type of rear sight is on your pistol?

 

[user 49399]

It’s a homemade job. I found the sight in an old box of parts. It may have come off an old single shot 22 rifle. It works good enough for me though and like a lot of my stuff, it has a backwoods, primitive look that I like.

You might try an old CVA Kentucky Rifle in .45 cal to match that pistol.

Nice looking pistol.

Check the for sale ads, there is a Kentucky rifle to match your pistola but a little darker.

 

[user 49399]

Thanks, but I’m not seriously pursuing a rifle right now though.

I've got a .45 cal version in flintlock that I bought as a kit back in the 70's. The gun is a better shot than I am. Bill

 

[Bill Bryan]

Sorry. I forgot to attach a photo of my old pistol. It's had thousands of rounds through it and still holds on target. Bill

Your kit and pistol look great!

I’m a fan, as well! I have a 1983 CVA Kentucky pistol in .45, and a new Traditions Kentucky pistol in .50

Rifle-wise, I have a 1967, Italian-made, Kentuckian rifle in .44 ( but can shoot .45), and a 1998 Pedersoli Pennsylvania Dixie Rifle in .45

Here’s my .45 percussion pistol. I bought it back in ‘89… at a place called Cache la Poudre RifleWorks, Old Town Ft Collins

I think I paid $20.00, took it home and reworked it…it was pretty rough when I bought it.

At 20 yrds, from a rest, it shoots 1” groups with 20 grains fffg
