Horse Pistol

Description

Horse pistols are so-named because they were designed to be used by cavalry mounted on horseback, each soldier carrying two pistols in a pair of holsters attached to the saddle. These weapons were designed for close-in combat in a swirling cavalry melee, and the range reflects this fact.
