Replica Percussion Pistols - the Greathead Anderson
Underhammer
There are some competitive pistols not made by Pedersoli,
and here's one of them, the Anderson Underhammer; a very
simple hand made English pistol by Jim Greathead. It can be
made in any calibre you choose, and is superbly accurate.
The low line of the bore in the hand is ideal for accurate
shooting, and as the grip can be made in various sizes, it's
good for people with smaller hands. There's no set trigger,
but the standard pull can be adjusted by altering the
tension on the mainspring (you should be able to see the
adjusting screw at the back of the grip), which gives a very
light pull indeed. On the downside, the finish is not as
good as some pistols and there's no half cock safety, but
overall a great little pistol, and I wouldn't swap mine for
any of the Pedersoli offerings. Contact details for Jim can
be obtained from the MLAGB.
