This blog is made in dedication to handguns and only handguns.If you are a person who could chose a pistol or a Handgun over any other type of firearm, you are at the right place.

Allen & Thurber Single-Shot Pistol.

This odd-looking single-shot pistol is one of the batch of the three hundred manufactured by Allen & Thurber, one of the companies in which Ethan Allen(1806-1871)was involved.

These were the first of all the mass produced pistols out there so to speak. The company was also the among the first companies ever to mass produce firearms that could be fired using a single hand.

These pistols were produced in the late 1840s and early 1850s. They were intended for competition use, for which they were fitted with an adjustable rear sight. The cast steel barrel is threaded and detachable at the breech. Its octagonal part marked the company's name.
