In the early 17th century, the flintlock mechanism was invented and with time, pistols which were based on this technique started to be in use by the army, as well as for self-defence. Their range was not too wide, so soldiers had them in their equipment together with cutlasses or swords. Most flintlock pistols were smoothbore, but some in some models rifling was applied. Its mechanism was based on the inflammation of gunpowder made by sparks caused by hitting a piece of flint with a special rock.
Their variety of styles and sizes was huge. The models of the biggest size were most commonly kept in a holster attached to a horseback, that is why they were called "horse pistols". Medium pistols were carried in big pockets or stuck to a belt. Such weapons were often used for duelling, so producers usually sold them in pairs.
