Now that is a sweet under-hammer pistol!

My good friend Rod came over for a visit Tue since I am recuperating from hip replacement 3/21/24. Naturally we had to have coffee and a muffin along with tales of our muzzleloadng journey together since the early 70s. In his early years Rod cranked out all kinds of muzzleloaders, but mostly long guns. Now in his early eighties he enjoys making under-hammer pistols. He and I always like to include our current projects for discussion. Well he pulled out this photo and said this was his current endeavor. Every part, or manufacturing process/on that gun is by Rod with the exception of scews or pins. He usually rifles the barrel.
He pulled out this photo and said this is "what I am currently making. I sent this photo to a good friend and he said he was going to get in the order line.

The second photo is one I purchased from Rod about 9 years ago

I'll assume that you're referring to the same Rod who consigns those neat little "Ruggle" pistols on TOTW? In fact, there's one for sale on their website right now.

A good assumption
