I'm not much of an authority on black powder pistols, however I think that you can get a pair of Hawken reproductions from Cabela's.
I know that almost all single-shot pistols are used for hunting and target shooting. But in the past duels were sometimes fought with Single-Shot muzzle loading pistols.
But I think it would just be cool to have two custom made breech loading single-shot pistols for historical purposes.
What are some of the best quality made single-shot breech loading pistols out there?![]()

When I think quality breech-loading single-shot pistols I think of Thompson Center's Encore pistols.

They're not blackpowder or historical though.
For blackpowder firearms I'd look at: http://www.dixiegunworks.com/

You could get two of the Harper's Ferry Pistol Reproductions. Combine them and you have the MP Corps Insignia.![]()

For an "Old Fashioned" look, try Uberti's Remington Rolling Block reproductions, if you can use .22 rf. I think these were made, or another maker, in .357 Magnum. You could probably locate a pair from somebody like Dixie Gun Works.
And, of course, the Thompson Contender, as has been mentioned.
