are there .58 pistols?

[cetme]

Are there any non military .58 pistols out there?
Got my first front loader and want a pistol to go with it.

if you find one, i'd like to know too.

good luck :thumbsup:

Back in the day there was a Hawkin pistol in .58, but I don't think many sold in that caliber and I don't recall the manufacturer. You may come across a used one with enough searching.

In my opinion the problem here is that you excluded "military" pistols.

If you want a Kentucky or even a plains pistol in a .58 caliber I think it will probably be a custom made one and it won't be inexpensive.

What type of rifle did you buy? Depending on the time period it fits into, a military pistol would make a fine companion for it. Otherwise a used pistol or a custom is your best bet. Nothing wrong with that option at all! :thumbsup:

North Star West has a trade pistol that is available in 24 gage which is .579 inches.

What if you could find an old rifle barrel and make one?

I would like to build a 12 gauge double barrel pistol. The howda pistols of old had some pretty big bores, from what I have read on them. The guys I work with think I'm nuts when I start to talk about it, but I know once they see it, they will want one too.

So I'm at a friends house today, and his wife mentions she has an older Dixie Gun Works catalog. I asked to look at it, curious about how much priceing has gone up. In thier 1993 catalog they listed a .58 cal Harpers Ferry pistol.

Pedersoli's Harpers Ferry pistol is .58, but that is a military pistol.

Old rifle barrels in .58 Cal. most likely will be 1-66". A short pistol barrel would need to be some where around 1-18". :thumbsup:
