Pocket pistols are the smallest handguns and can be kept in a coat pocket. Calibres generally range from 30 to 45. These pistols are made in either Snap Lock, Dog Lock or Flintlock styles.  Queen Anne types are popular, but the short barrels make reloading easy for regular muzzle loaders. Frequently the ram rod is not attached to reduce the bulk of the weapon in one’s pocket.
