3-Barrel Swivel Gun 1309 France, 18th Century

Three chances, one destiny: the roar of the spark in the age of steel

In the turbulent days of the 18th century, where the elegance of dueling met the crudity of combat, ingenious weapons emerged that defied the limits of their time. This 3-Barrel Swivel Pistol , a faithful reproduction of a French model, represents the cunning and pragmatism of those who knew that, on the battlefield or in a dark alley, a single shot was not always enough.

The Art of Multiplied Fire

With a sturdy metal frame and ivory-effect plastic grips , this pistol masterfully reproduces the original design. The functional mechanism simulates the loading and firing of the era, evoking the actual operation of a flintlock pistol , where a flint stone ignited the gunpowder in a dangerous dance of precision and luck.

Each of its three barrels could deliver a single shot before the slow reloading process made a second attempt impossible. Therefore, these weapons were short-range allies, carried as backup alongside a sword or knife. Their presence commanded respect, and their use demanded determination.

Legacy of Duel and Defense

Although imperfect in the face of humidity or primitive mechanics, flintlock pistols were an essential part of personal weapons well into the 19th century. Their triple rotating barrel offered a crucial advantage: more than one chance to survive, win… or maintain one's honor.
