Saw this pistol on the gun works muzzleloading emporium website. Anyone have one to review? Is this a good place to buy a flintlock from? I searched the net but didn't find much information regarding the quality of the oregon barrels. Any info would be appreciated.

Are you in the market for a target pistol? If you are, be advised that this is a serious business for the people involved in it and you will need a high quality pistol in order to be competitive.
If you are simply looking for a nice flint pistol to carry as an addition to a rifle or a fowler then you will be far better served by an early American or English style pistol. They balance better for carry use--the saw handled target pistols live in pistol cases and not on the sashes of normal folk. They aren't "carry" guns and would look out of place if used as such.

I am interested in a carry pistol to go with my T/C Hawken. I looked at the Traditions Trapper pistol while at a Gander Mountain store in CO, and had to look at three of them since the sights were falling off and other poor craftsmanship issues. I was quite disappointed since I have wanted one for quite awhile and finally had "disposable" income in my pocket. I like the half stock look better than the full stock and this pistol seemed to fit the bill. You do have a point about carrying it with the Hawken, if I do get it, I may just hunt with that pistol.

If you like the saw-handle stock you might want to take a look at the Pedersoli 'Mortimer' pistol as well. I have the .44 smoothbore flintlock version, but they are also available with a rifled barrel. Mine shoots very well, & the lock is an excellent sparker with long flint life. I highly recommend them.
