Traditions' Trapper Pistol is the flintlock version of the same .50 caliber single-shot: a 9.75-inch octagonal blued barrel, 15.5 inches overall, select hardwood stock and double-set triggers that can be fired set or unset. The rear sight is a primitive adjustable notch with a front blade, and the styling follows the classic mountain-trapper pistol.

Flint ignition means a sharp flint and a pan of priming powder to manage, which makes this a pistol for Delaware shooters who want the traditional routine rather than the convenience of a percussion cap. It pairs with a flintlock rifle for a matched set on a primitive range day, and the set trigger gives a light, crisp release when you want to shoot for a tight group. Buyers go through the dealer like any handgun here, with photo ID, Form 4473 and a background check at the counter, and the state purchase permit or a Delaware carry license in hand.
