Pistols categories

Mang in Gräz (1850)

S.341This pistol reproduces to the tiniest details the original model produced by Martin Mang in Graz. In this pistol, Mang has demonstrated the ultimate European technique in use during the last years of the percussion era. The stock, from select walnut, is oil finished and enriched with a typical, imperial style, fluted grip. The octagonal, rifled barrel is rust brown finish colour and provided with adjustable single set trigger. The metal parts have a coin colour finishing for the standard version and case hardened colour for the Match model. In the Deluxe version the engraving faithfully reproduces the original model. The fancy striped walnut stock is enhanced by the oiled hand finish. All metal parts are engraved with floral motives. The breech plug shows a typical mask of the period. Barrel and tang are enriched with gold inlays.

Kuchenreuter (1854)

S.300Bartholomaus Joseph Kuchenreuter lived between 1782-1864 in Steinweg, near Regensburg, in Germany. He was the son of Joseph II very well known as a highly acknowledged and skilled gunmaker and, in addition, as a very good successful black powder shooter. This explains the excellent shooting characteristics of this pistol, such as the size and shape of the grip. This splendid reproduction target pistol, whose original model was produced around 1854/1855, is certainly the “Masterpiece” of our production. Provided with single set trigger and vertically adjustable rear sight, it is the ideal pistol for the marksman. The barrel is rust brown finish colour with the writing: BARTH. IOS KUCHENREUTER and the silver inlay Kuchenreuter mark . The grained walnut stock is oil finished and all metal parts are colour case hardened. The Deluxe version is enriched with gold plating on the background of the engraving, exalting its beauty and rarity.

Mortimer (1810 - 1840)

S.345Being mentioned with very positive terms, at page 157 of the book written by H. Lee Munson “The Mortimer Gunmakers - 1753-1923”, for our famous reproduction of the Mortimer rifle, we became so proud to yield to the suggestions of many shooters to reproduce also a model of pistol of that family which has been surely one of the most prolific gunsmith families producing guns of great quality and accuracy. The original pistol were marked in two lines H.W. MORTIMER & SON LONDON / GUN MAKERS TO HIS MAJESTY and our reproductions maintained all the technical and ballistic characteristics, with thanks to the production of mechanical parts made with numerical control machines, quality is assured. The breech hook chromed barrel is perfectly aligned with the upper part of the wood, featured with a “saw grip”, checkered, that grant the shooter a continous steady grip for the best aiming of the target. The conical ramrod with horn tip gives an elegant detail in the sober contrast of one of the most beautiful replicas on the market. The Deluxe version is enriched with engravings in the style of the English school, with exact copies of the original patterns, with gold inlays on the barrel. The pistol is produced with selected walnut stock, the metal parts are coin finish colour and the barrel is rust brown colour finished.

Carleton Underhammer (1850)

S.357Among the various guns manufacturers of under hammer, Michael Carleton of Haverhill, New Hampshire, made the model that prevailed over other models thanks to the liner movement of the hammer having a parallel motion to the barrel axis. The nipple is horizontally screwed to the drum placed in the under part of the frame and the main hammer spring looks like a trigger guard. The sliding moving parts are carefully designed to reduce their friction: the result is a very moderate crisp pull, even without a set trigger. This very well balanced gun is made with rust brown finish colour barrel, completed with a saw handle stock, providing a firm and natural grip.

Continental Duelling (1810 - 1850)

S.361Mid Europe style duelling pistol, featuring simple and essential lines. Thanks to the good price/quality relation, it represents the ideal choice for the first muzzle loading target shooter.

The Continental Duelling pistol is available also as a pair into a wood case with okra colour lining.

Assembly is effected by master gunsmiths to ensure excellent shot release for the best performances. All metal parts are “matt” blued. Like the custom made version, the cylinder is provided with a glossy band that reduces friction during rotation. Its typical walnut grip is perfect for target shooting requirements.

Remington Pattern (1863 - 1875)

S.349After the success obtained in the target shooting with Rogers & Spencer “Pedersoli” Target model and under specific requirements from shooters, we introduced this new target revolver, produced on the Remington model. The materials used are of the best quality, enhancing the ballistic characteristics of the barrel, of the cylinder and of the trigger set mechanism. The gun has been expressly “customized” by our crafts-workers and shooters, with the purpose to give the gun a good functionality with the very first use. The non-reflecting barrel, the anti-wear cylinder and the rifling twist have been designed to give the shooter the best chance.

The pistol is of steel construction, available with polished white or case hardened finish as well as having an optional wood case available for one or for two pistol, which has brass box for caps. The Deluxe version, with white finish, features a rich scroll engraving. On the grip there are a series of crossed lines giving a checkering effect. Like the original, the pistol fires a .17 inch (4,3 mm) ball using only a percussion cap and no black powder charge. For short range it is powerful, accurate and fairly quiet, making it suitable for indoor use. A .17” (4,3 mm) ball is placed into the breech plug small tube (which is capped) inserted against the barrel. The hammer fires a # 11 cap which expels the ball.

Derringer Liegi (1850)

S.330This famous Derringer model is faithfully reproduced to provide virtually every feature of the original. Small enough to fit in a vest pocket, it is a great addition to any collection. The frame is colour case hardened and stock is made from walnut. Interesting details, such as the removable rifled blue barrel and the folding trigger, make it one of the better example of this type.

Howdah Hunter (1840)

S.358Classic pistol with side by side barrels reproducing the Anglo-Saxon guns’ style used for the hunt in the second half of the Eighteen hundreds in the far colonial territories and India. During the first period of the British colonial government in India, the Howdah pistols for their power and reliability were preferred by the officers of the English army in the far away outposts of the wide empire, but the main use was at close range to stop dangerous wild animals such as the tiger which were known to leap upon the Howdah atop the elephants back. The Howdah name is the palanquin mounted on the elephant. The locks are embellished with engraving featuring wild animals in the their natural habitat, case hardened colour finish. The walnut pistol grip stock has two checkered sections to grant a firm, comfortable and stable grip, thanks to the counterweight butt plate. Similar with cased guns of the English tradition, the gun is also offered in a mahogany with accessories.

Boutet (0 - 0)

S.309The guns signed by Nicolas-Noël Boutet were famous in the whole of Europe for their technical perfection and the matchless artistic sense the gunsmith imprinted on every gun he built. Even Napoleon often wrote with flattering appreciation about the style and prestige of the Boutet guns which Pedersoli now proudly introduces with this elegant flintlock model, with brown barrel and the stock high on the muzzle. The sturdy grip with fine checkering on the sides gives a robust grip sensation and is completed with a metal butt plate. The ramrod has a horn tip at one end. The gun is equipped with a single set trigger. On the lock two lines are engraved with MANUF RE / a Versaillles.

Derringer Guardian (0 - 0)

S.362In the second half of the 1800 there was a great diffusion of small pistols, known as “derringer” since the appearance of the muzzle loading models. Some were made to fire metallic cartridges, most were given strange names to impress customers; all were low cost with a simple mechanism like the barrel’s length from 3 to 5 inches hinged to the frame or the removable nipple breech to load it. The grip was usually of the “birds beak” type and the trigger of a “spur” type. Some models were based on Joseph Rider’s idea and on the Remington “Parlor Pistol” (1860), produced in the .177 (4.5 mm) calibre and used for pickling and for indoor shooting. Pedersoli Derringer Guardian reproduces one of these models and its design reminds the famous “X Pert Single Shot” produced by Hopkins & Allen in the 1870 or the several European models also known as the “System Flobert Single Shot”. The steel gun shoots only with the 209 primer, insulated by a closing flange that prevents any metal chips escaping and protects the shooter’s hand. The Derringer Guardian is equipped with an extractor, sight and ramrod screwed to the base. With only the 209 primer, shots can hit the target out to 10 meters about (11yards). It is available also into a nice wood case which contains a small box for BB pellets or the #209 primers.

An IX De Gendarmerie (1809 - 1819)

S.331Famous cavalry pistol of the Napoleon period, inspired by the previous Model 1763-66. This pistol has a shorter barrel, the hand grip shape has been varied and the crafted lock system of the An IX musket was adopted in its scale down version. From 1803 to 1807 about 33.000 pistols “pair” have been produced, all of them used during the Empire military battles. Our reproduction, like the original model, features brass garnitures: the long front band, the trigger guard and the butt cap.
