Pedersoli Le Page Target Pistol

About the Pedersoli Le Page Target Pistol

The Pedersoli Le Page Target Pistol is a modern reproduction of the elegant target and dueling pistols built by the celebrated Parisian gunmaker Henry Le Page between roughly 1840 and 1850. A single-shot, muzzle-loading flintlock pistol, this .45 caliber smoothbore version is built for precision target shooting, with an adjustable single set trigger, an elevation-adjustable rear sight, brightly polished lock components and a carefully checkered European walnut stock. It is produced by the Italian black powder specialist Davide Pedersoli and is offered in both flintlock and percussion configurations.

The original Le Page pistols were prized presentation and dueling arms of 19th-century European gentlemen, made by a Paris workshop that supplied Napoleon and later French royalty; Pedersoli's faithful reproduction keeps this cased-set tradition alive for modern precision black powder competition.
