Underhammer Pistol

[Bob Riegl]

:bow: I am looking for an H&A underhammer pistol---some times called a "boot Pistol." Any information will be gratefully received and I may find a place for you in my will as well. :rotf: :thumbsup:

On my last note the darn computor changed the email address. It is supposed to be "gunbroker.com". Hope this one gets thru right.

The rules clearly state that you may not post links to auction items.

Please re-read the rules carefully.

I have that site bookmarked; I can remember when that Underhammer pistol sold new for $36....does that date me or what??!! I think that was when they were closing them out, regular price was around $45 IIRC. Emery

First time I remember seeing them for sale in the early sixties, the price was $29.50 plus shipping, and that included (if I recall correctly) some balls, patches, caps, and 4 ounces of powder to get you started. Ah the Good Old Days.

I had thought about buying one or two of the UH pistols back then, but they really didn't appeal to me much.....back then. Hind sight is always 20-20.

-----didn't appeal to me then or now-----

I'll second that, you might as well stand on your head to shoot it, next stop in-lines.

...next stop in-lines.

Ain't NO WAY I'll be caught dead with one of those infernal machines!

Underhammers have been around a long time, no point grouping them with modern inlines. I don't care for H&A's version, but there were some interesting and decent enough looking original underhammer boot pistols in the day.

I have a book on underhammer boot pistols. The H&A looks a lot like some of the originals from 1840. If the underhammer pistol isn't acceptable neither is a sidelock. Of course I don't know why anyone would want to shoot anything but a flinter anyway :grin:
