Description
Performance / range (marketing)
Historic pocket-pistol power — designed for very short ranges. Appreciate as a collectible and display piece rather than a practical modern firearm. Searchers often look for buy antique pinfire ring gun Buffalo NY or buy pinfire ring pistol Madison WI when sourcing pieces like this.
Ballistics / force (brief & safe)
Pinfire rounds of this size produce very low muzzle energy compared with modern cartridges — valued for rarity and condition, not stopping power. Listings like buy vintage 4mm pinfire Tallahassee FL and buy 4 mm pinfire ring gun Antwerp BE target collectors, not ballistics buyers.
Maximum projectile travel
Projectiles can travel hundreds of meters in ideal conditions — not a practical engagement range. Handle as a museum/collector item and preserve the original condition.
Safety & handling (antique-specific)
-
No modern safeties; mechanical safety depends on intact hammer and cylinder indexing.
-
Manual indexing and hammer operation require expert handling.
-
Inspect for corrosion or loose parts before any function check — recommended specialist inspection.
