I'd also suggest that ordering a couple of the books on building Kentucky pistols from Muzzle Loaders Builders' Supplies would be a great starting point.

Thank you for taking the time to give such a detailed reply. The Muzzle Loaders Builders site is overwhelming!
From what I've found all the available level 1 kits for pistols are made by Pendersoli and Traditions. However I don't know if Traditions makes one in .45 caliber but Pendersoli does and the .45 Kentucky kit is on sale now at Dixie Gun Works for $295 in percussion, $325 for a flintlock.
Sorry, I just noticed the flintlock version is unavailable.
Thank you. I saw the Ped kit but I didn't see rifling information so I assumed it was smooth bore. Am I wrong?

No problem, we're crossing posts.
Can you send a link? Because I can't find it. Thanks!
Sitting fox, I’ve had a good experience with them. Track of the wolf is a number one in my book
According to the Pendersoli home page it's rifled, very shallow rifling.
Kentucky Percussion Model, Pistols Kentucky Pistol (1750-1850 c.) .
By the way, there are no instructions that come with the kit but I just finished a .54 caliber recently, duelist1954 made 3 videos of his build and we can help along the way.
Thanks, Grenadier, for suggesting Track of the Wolf. I slipped over and grabbed one of the Lyman pistol kits in .54 as a companion to my Great Plains rifle in .54. I currently have a CVA 50 cal Mountain Pistol (as a companion to a TC Hawken in .50) but have never been fond of the hardwood stock or the way it took a walnut stain; it's a bit cheesy, to say the least, and the 'basketball court' shine looks good to admirers at the range, but I surely want to buff that out with a good drubbing by steel wool. At least the Lyman has a walnut stock. The CVA shoots well and has a nice 40 year old patina, but maybe one day I'll figure out a way to fix that stock color.
Thanks and Cheers,
I will take you up on that!
Just keep in mind Duelist and I modified our builds, him more so than me but you don't have to. The most work involved will be rasping/filing and sanding the stock plus filing and sanding the brass ramrod pipes. The potentially most difficult will be fitting the sights, I found a triangular needle file was indispensable in this. Otherwise everything is fitted, all the holes drilled and the kit comes pre-assembled (except for the sights). Take it apart then go to work on it.
I kept this picture in front of me every time I worked on mine.
Here's my finished one.
I'm looking for one also. you have any luck finding one?
