Dragoon or Horse Pistols
Dragoon Pistols (sometimes called Horse Pistols) were used by mounted troops and were kept in saddle holsters. They are large, heavy weapons that fire a very large calibre ball, 65 to 75. After being discharged the pistol is heavy enough and strong enough to be reversed and used as a club. These pistols are made in either Wheellock, Snap Lock, Dog Lock or Flintlock styles.
