THE DIABLO
Not only is it a pistol, but it’s also a muzzleloader! That means you can have this pistol sent directly to your home without needing an FFL.
THE FRAME
The Diablo shown is equipped with synthetic rosewood furniture. American Gun Craft also has options for black synthetic. The Diablo utilizes a selector on the hammer to select one barrel or the other.
The fit and finish are excellent, and the trigger pull is slightly over 5 pounds.
THE BARRELS
The six-inch barrels are nickel-finished, but American Gun Craft has an option of a Blued Barrel. American Gun Craft also produces the Desperado model with an 11-inch barrel if you want something a little bigger.
