9mm Pinfire Revolver

[Gunner.cgn]

Hello,

Any folks use pinfire firearms as part of their persona?   I recently found a 9mm Casimir Lefaucheux marked revolver.   I purchased the reloading kit from France and am just waiting to do a range session with it.   Cheers Kevin.

I used to shoot an underlever Lefaucheaux pinfire shotgun.  Wasn't allowed to shoot it in CAS matches, and eventually traded it off.

I think the idea of pinfire is interesting, but i don't think a lot of people shoot them nowadays since any firearm that uses the ammunition are 160yrs old and the other factor is the ammunition. Saw one video online where a swedish man converted some 45 acp cases to 11mm pinfire and that took a lot of work that majority of people aren't going to do for one gun.
