I believe there is a muzzle loading movement in the UK as they are not banned like most of the other target pistols were. Hopefully some of the members of the Limey persuasion will chime in with some more information.

I don't know if I am enough Limey :wink: to respond but here we go.It has been there for sometime and an effort to circumvent the ban on handguns.It cannot be bought now without a special license.AFAIK.

from its grip it seems to be a target shooting pistol.

What intrigues me about this gun is the magazine: the "zig-zag" grooves are just the way the Webley-Fosbery automatic revolver works.

Also, what is neat about it is, where conventional pistols are not available for public use, a person could use one of these to develop the same sort of shooting skills that a conventional semi-auto would confer.

Another plus would be the cost of shooting. Depending on the actual chamber bore size, it is likely that a size of buckshot would work well for a projectile, making them easily available. A small charge of black powder and a cap, and you're ready to go!

If the chamber-barrel alignment is precise, it should be accurate, too. I like it!
