We need a date (or date range) for changeover from shooting pistol to carbine.
The Early Imperial Spanish list in T&T still has them as Pistol till the end of the list (1609) - but of course it hasmounted arequebusiers too.

Reiters probably started to switch around the mid to later 1580's in Austria spreading North over the next 30 years or so.

OK, so we have a start date for the carbine ones of say 1585.
How about an end date for the pistol ones?

Around 1610 sounds ok for me.
