Pedersoli Howdah Vintage 45 Colt/.410 Double Barrel Pistol 10.25"

The Davide Pedersoli Howdah Vintage brings historical British colonial firepower to modern shooters with its dual-caliber capability. This reproduction of the famous howdah pistol combines 45 Colt and .410 gauge functionality in a single platform. Built for versatility and stopping power at close range.

What Makes This Different

Unlike modern tactical pistols, the Howdah Vintage features authentic side-lock action with exposed hammers and individual triggers for each barrel. The octagon barrel design provides superior heat dissipation compared to round barrels. Italian craftsmanship delivers hand-fitted components and traditional manufacturing techniques that mass-produced firearms cannot match. Color case hardening creates unique patterns on each frame while providing corrosion resistance.

Key Features

• 10.25-inch octagon barrel with traditional rifling for 45 Colt accuracy
• Color case hardened steel frame with authentic period finish
• Premium walnut furniture with oil finish and checkered grip areas
• Side-lock action with exposed hammers and double triggers

Field performance centers on close-range versatility with 45 Colt providing penetration for large game while .410 shells offer spread patterns for multiple targets or small game.

Weather-resistant finishes handle outdoor conditions typical of hunting and recreational shooting.
