Pistolet modèle An IX
The Pistolet modèle An IX was a flintlock cavalry pistol, in service in French units from 1801. The modèle An IX replaced the modèle 1777, which had been criticized to the point where the older modèle 1763 had been brought back into service. This pistol is superficially similar in appearance to the well respected Pistolet modèle 1763/66 pattern.

The Pistolet modèle An IX is in effect the same in terms of changes made to the musket pattern of the same year, but when compared to the modèle 1777/1786 had the spring and brass barrel bands of its predecessor restored to make it much easier to service. The Pistolet modèle An IX, like its earlier patterns, was designed to equip mounted units, each cavalry soldier using two pistols. It was used in most mounted units of the Consulat and during the early years of the Empire, as well as in the Navy. In 1806, the Pistolet modèle An XIII was introduced; the two patterns co-existed for some time, until the last modèles An IX were upgraded to the An XIII standard. In the 1840s, the variants that were now of the An XIII standard were converted to a caplock action.
