The first production run of 15 double flint pistols is on the way to us this month. Since there are two barrels and two locks, it really cuts into production time so they are only able to commit to making so many at a time. Lots of factors can slow things down: Monsoon season, "wedding" season, "fesitval" season. It really is a different pace of life over there.

We are hoping to keep them at as low a price as possible, but the reality is that they cost us nearly twice as much as the other pistols, again, because of having twice the locks and twice the barrels to build. Our goal is to retail them for $399.

I'm not sure what became of the bayonet-pistol project. We used to get them from a very irregular source, but found out they could be had from a more steady manufacturer. I'll have to check with them to see what became of the project.
