This was going to be my first DGJ article but then they closed shop. So it sat unfinished for the past year or so and I changed direction a bit... In the tapestry of American firearms history, few threads are as colorful and as intertwined with the fabric of innovation as the story of Charles Edward Sneider and his journey with the pinfire system. This article ventures into the heart of 19th-century America, a time of rapid technological advancement and societal change, to explore the pivotal role played by Sneider, a Baltimore-based gun maker of remarkable skill and vision. Through the lens of Sneider's life and legacy, we delve into the symbiotic relationship between the burgeoning United States and the innovative pinfire system, uncovering the profound impact of his work on the course of firearms development. ![[Linked Image from photos.smugmug.com]](https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-F5MTpMk/1/FNRqBfWK3kHsZK8RH6FGRJJjmLLXn6zHBZWqgSMW8/X3/i-F5MTpMk-X3.jpg)
