LOL, I hadn't realised just HOW SMALL it is.
I guess as it could certainly be fired one handed at that size we can call it a pistol?

Hi Trench. WOW!! 9 1/2" is really small. Yes, more pistol size. I've seen Japanese matchlock pistol variations, but this is the first Toridor I've ever seen. Never even seen a picture of one. What a great find. I'm envious.

Rick.
