Pedersoli Le Page Muzzleloader Target Pistol Cal. .44
Le Page ®
This firearm is an exact reproduction of the historic dueling pistol originally manufactured by Henry Le Page between 1840 and 1850. Renowned for its precision engineering and superior craftsmanship, this model faithfully replicates the classic design favored by marksmen and collectors alike in the mid-19th century.
The rear sight is vertically adjustable, allowing for precise elevation tuning to optimize shot placement at varying distances. This feature enhances accuracy and ballistic performance, essential for competitive shooting and traditional dueling scenarios.
The stock is crafted from premium European walnut, providing both aesthetic elegance and ergonomic comfort. The dense grain structure of the walnut ensures durability and a secure grip, crucial for maintaining control during rapid firing sequences or precision target shooting.
Chambered in .44 caliber, this pistol delivers substantial stopping power suitable for both metallic and semi-metallic cartridge reloading. The caliber selection supports a wide range of bullet weights and powder charges, making it versatile for hunters and reloaders focused on ballistic customization.
The barrel features seven rifling grooves with a twist rate of 1 turn in 18 inches (1:18), optimized to stabilize heavy lead and semi-metallic projectiles. This rifling configuration contributes to enhanced accuracy, reduced bullet deformation, and consistent muzzle velocity, all critical factors in precision shooting disciplines.
