flintlock pistol
Colonial-era handgun
A flintlock pistol is a historical handgun that fires by striking flint against steel to create sparks, igniting gunpowder in the pan.
The mechanism dominated firearms from the 17th through early 19th centuries.
Flintlock pistols were standard military sidearms and dueling weapons: They met at dawn with matched flintlock pistols.
The term now appears mostly in historical contexts, museums, and period dramas.
