The flintlock pistols were made in a great variety of sizes and styles. The smaller ones were less than 6 inches long, fit in a pocket and could easily be worn by women.
These pistols were used as self-defense weapons until the middle of the 19th century. Their effective range was short and often they were used as a complement to a sword or knife. Flintlock pistols were prone to many problems compared to modern weapons, due to moisture or accidental shots.
In combat, usually these weapons were used for a single shot, since the method of reloading was very slow, and it was not usually time enough to recharge. Therefore, the fighters after firing were forced to draw their sabers or swords or to use the pistol as a blackjack, since the circumstances did not allow to recharge them in time.
