Hollis Screw-Barrel .40 Cal. Percussion Antique Coat Pistol
Howdy Townpost. This is a fine English pocket or coat pistol made by Hollis and Sheath company which is the precursor to Hollis and Sons or Isaac Hollis and Sons. Wallace and sheath became Hollis and Sons in 1861 when Isaac Brentnall Sheath left the company to immigrate to Canterbury, Australia and raised sheep and owned coal mines in an area that is now a suburb of Melbourne. His gun making days were behind him, he'd become an industrialist down undah. Sheath & Hollis co-founded the company in 1849 and Sheath stayed with the company until as previously stated, 1861. That dates this firearm between 1849 and 1861. This is a single shot side hammer lock percussion pistol. It's a screw-barrel meaning you unthread the barrel, fill the powder chamber and place a ball on top it. You then use the barrel itself and the threads to seat the ball inside of the breach. Then a percussion cap on the nipple, put it at half cock put it in your dapper overcoat and pull it out should you meet any Scallywags on your travels. The gun is mechanically excellent. The bore condition is very good, there is some minor shallow pitting but overall the rifling is very sharp and clean and shiny. The overall exterior condition of the metal and wood is in excellent shape the diamond checkering are sharp and defined. The powder chamber has only minor pitting as pictured and was cleaned out internally. For a defensive coat pistol, the sights are excellent and easy to pick up and with a rifled bore in good condition I expect this pistol could be fired very accurately. To shoot this gun I would use 3F powder. Both number 10 and 11 caps fit the nipple reasonably well. A 40 caliber lead ball would be ideal as a projectile but you could definitely use .375 caliber balls with a patch no problem in my opinion. I haven't tried it myself though. The pistol is located in Calgary AB for local delivery or pickup. Or I can ship it nationwide too.

STEADY SHOOTER TRIPODS. (They make a great gift for the hunter that has everything.) 306-221-9599 text or call More information on the shooting tripod you may want to read below. The SteadyShooter is the best portable shooting support on the market. Price is about the best price on the market.   The SteadyShooter is light-weight (approx. 985 grams or 2 pounds) and the legs fold together which makes it easy to carry with you at all times when hunting.   SteadyShooter has a fully-adjustable side rest which can be used to instantly shoot from a kneeling or sitting position. In my experiences this is a very useful feature as sometimes getting up for a standing shot can spook your animal away. To my knowledge, no other shooting rest on the market has this feature.   The above-mentioned side-rest  can also be used to allow shooting from the prone position.   The legs have two telescoping sections so they can be varied in length from 32" to 75".  However, using the side rest you can support your rifle at a height as low as 6" (ie. prone position).   The SteadyShooter sets up in seconds when a hunter carries it with the legs extended to his/her preferred length.   The V-yoke rotates 360 degrees and provides a very steady support for your rifle.   The V-yoke and side-rest are both nicely padded with soft rubber to protect your gun.   SteadyShooter folds into a small convenient package (3½" X 35") for transport and storage.   The legs are aluminum and the other parts are molded plastic and/or rubber.
