My new little TC Patriot .45 Cal Target Pistol, What a FUN little Rig to Shoot, and VERY ACCURATE :lewis: These were my Home Cast .445 Pure Lead Balls, OC Daisy Patches .015 thick, Powder Charge was 30 Grains of Swiss 2F

Wow Lewis youre good with that thing !!! That would make a nice addition deer hunting for one that snuck up on ya close !!! Meat in the freezer all day long .......
 
Nice Lewis. You're gonna love that pistol. Just be careful loading hard to load loads. Did i say that right? The stock has a weak spot in the wrist and is prone to breakage there. Use a load stand that supports the wrist and you'll have no problems.

I had a LOT of Fun with it! There is NO DOUBT this Thing would make Deer Meat at any Reasonable Range (Willfish4fud did it :lewis:) BUT it’s not Legal here in Idaho to use a Blackpowder Pistol. Even my .50 Cal TC Scout inline Pistol With a 350-450 Grain Bullet being pushed by 80 Grains of Swiss 2F, NOT Legal here on Deer/Elk (Unless it’s changed?)

DL, Thank you for the Heads up on the Wrist area of these Patriot Pistol Stocks. Before i ever Shot this Pistol i had Researched it some and Read about that. When Loading, I chose to Hold on to the Barrel/Forend of The Stock, I had NO PROBLEMS Loading it this way, And this way i am putting NO Stress/Pressure to the Wrist Area. Sure a FUN Little Pistol to Shoot!

Perhaps some lookin into the actual constitutional right for your state to make laws like that to begin with is in order.

I wonder could you epoxy in a threaded rod to brace up that area ?? A stitch in time saves nine as the old saying goes !!!

Still im thankfull for the good ive found here . Near or far thats always cool and appreciated . We is O-Tay !!! :thumb:

I am afraid to ask. How does the Traditions Trapper pistol stack up against the Patriot?
 
I had several .45's but sold them I have a .36 cal I built from a new unused kit it's unbelievably accurate great guns !
