  • That's a video I've been planning to make for a long time. Probably there is no better single shot side lock percussion pistol than the Pedersoli Kuchenreuter. Here is the test, and the interesting 350 years history of the Kuchenreuter gunmaking family.

    Remind me to tell you about the shooting friend of mine who bought a Pedersoli Kuechenreuter pistol for fifty pounds because the dealer thought it was a cheap 'cap gun' in a lot of junk piled up in an old orange box. Not only did he not know what it was, he had to be persuaded to take some money for it. Here in UK, he said, it wasn't worth putting on the books [he was an RFD] and only did so to get rid of it. Another great video, BTW, informative in the extreme.

    Excellent video. I have a Barth Jos Kuchenreuter Bellows target airgun. I did a vid of me taking it apart and shooting it and it’s a fantastic airgun. Also did a vid on a reproduction Adam Kuchenreuter air pistol that looks very similar to your one, but it’s a low powered spring air pistol. Good to know there is still a Kuchenreuter shop! Cheers

    A small note from Germany: Up to 1873 the german language was not standardized. So only the dialects existed, this caused often confusion in diplomacy, science and trade. In 1873 language scientists from Germany, Austria and Switzerland regulated german language and created Standard German/ Hochdeutsch. Before 1873 behind every t a h was written, this was stopped, with exeption of few words, for example Thal/ valley, Thor/ Gate, Thür/ door. But in 1901 the h after a t was completely stopped.Compleatly? No, Wilhelm ll personally rescued the th in Thron/throne. Today in german language a th appears only in names. In Germany there was a law in 1870s, that people had to write their Family name in the way, they wrote it in 1873
    In the Years before 1873, German people could write their name, as they wanted.

I , Brittas boyfriend, belong to Swabian tribe, for reason , that Swabians and Swiss Germans are both Descendants of former Alemannic tribe, my dialect is similar, so I have few problems to understand Swiss Germans, when they speak a softer/ townsman version of Swiss German.

    There exists a Kuchenreuther family branch which work in granite quarrying and stone masonry, also only some odd 15kms away. Interesting story, because in ancient times such industries (gunmaking) aren‘t that rooted in the area.

    What do you think about the Pedersoli Remington pattern revolvers? Are they worth 2-3 times the price of Uberti and Pietta?

    • @capandball
      @capandball  10 місяців тому

      Yes. The Pedersoli Remington is the best percussion revolver available on the new market today. It competes against the Hege Army Match Remingtons and the Feinwerkbau Rogers & Spencer. The Pietta Shooters' Remington, with the gain twist bore is also a good arm.

      In fact 90% of the medals won on international matches is probably won only by 5% of the shooters. While I think most of the shooters attending a World Match are capable of shooting World Champion scores. The technical part is easy (easier) to learn, the psychological part fro me was much more difficult.
