Gentlemen: Thank you one and all for your comments and assistance. Hurricane, can you give me a weight on the Loyalist Arms doglock and how do carry one or more of them? Got to admit that this would be my first non precussion cap black powder weapon; so my knowledge is limited. I'm here to learn. Black Jack Butlere

Vintage, I can't wait to see what your doglock blunderbuss looks like. To be honest I'm working off a sort of dead reckoning. Taking the 1640's doglock and comparing it to the Queen Anne pistol. I guess I'm thinking Sam Colt and the Walker Colt, which got three downsizes as Dragoon models. When you see the Queen Anne, pistol, you just know that there are some intermediate doglock pistols. Locks could have been made a bit smaller and barrels lighter, conseqently the whole piece would have been shorter and lighter. The only other weapon might be a Spanish Miguelet. I am working offThe Buccaneer's Realmsame author as The Sea Rovers Practice). And to be perfectly honest my knowledge of black powder weapons is from a later period, from doing Civil War Reenacting. Mooseworth, I wish you could tell me who offers this different version of the doglock. I do know it's not Pedersoli. I looked. Any help you cold give me would be appreciated. Thank you all.

I have a problem with my pirate interpretation. I portray a buccaneer of 1670-1680. In looking around for a proper pistol, I find that a doglock would be best. From what I've seen the only ones available are huge monstroseties circa 1640, English Civil War cavalry weapons. Granted that the Queen Anne pistol is available, but that is usually considered to be 1700 and later. I am seeking a piece which would be correctly representative of the period my portrayal represents. I've only found the doglock from Middle Village Trading Company and Loyalist Arms. Are there any ohers available? Are there any older ones, that might be around or available? Thanks. Black Jack Butler
