FP10120 Spanish Percusion Pistol, Iron

The main requirements for dueling pistols were that they be quick firing and accurate, and barrels were often exceptionally heavy to better absorb the jerk of a nervous trigger finger. These Spanish pieces exhibit the classic stock shape of early percussion-lock dueling pistols, whereby the weapon “pointed” accurately as an extension of the arm, enabling the duelist to fire quickly and smoothly.
