The Italian manufacturer Pedersoli, also known for its high-quality replicas of historical firearms, continues to expand its range of modern 45-70 lever-action rifles.

A sport shooting revolver based on the design of the venerable Remington New Model Army, revised and updated with today's materials and construction techniques: this is Pedersoli's Pattern Custom, which we present in our video.

We tested the Pedersoli Cook Underhammer, a very unusual percussion pistol featuring a hammer in an inverted position compared to the traditional pattern of a "cap and ball" gun. Easy to handle, it is fully ambidextrous.

High-level shooting competitions have finally resumed after the forced stop imposed by the pandemic. In Hungary, the best international shooters with muzzle-loading and historical metallic cartridge guns gathered for a long range challenge a week later the "short range" championship was held in Germany. Let's see how it went.

Our journey to discover replicas of historical guns manufactured by Davide Pedersoli continues. This time we will tell you about the Le Page pistol, a highly refined Parisian manufacturer that over nearly two centuries represented the pride of France, passing unscathed from monarchy to revolution and then to Empire.

Italian company Davide Pedersoli manufactures muzzle-loading guns for sport shooting and hunting that are used in ranges or hunting grounds every day and in every corner of the world. Some of these guns, such as the French pistol we introduce here, are also made in Deluxe versions to satisfy the most demanding palates. The technical level is always the same – that is very high.

We tested the Pedersoli Boarbuster Shadow lever action rifle in .45/70 Government with its optional proprietary optics mount built by Contessa and a GECO Black 1-6x24i riflescope. Results are indeed impressive. Read on to learn more.

Small, black, effective, with a rude and particular beauty like all the guns of its kind, featuring first-rate materials and finishes which are never or almost never found in similar "tools": this is the Black Widow, Pedersoli's interpretation of the last generation survival rifle!

The Lorenz rifle from Austria marked the highest technical level of military muzzle-loading service rifles in the 1850s. The Italian company Davide Pedersoli has been manufacturing replicas of it since 2019. We took a look at the second-generation model for its further improved features and the suitability on the shooting range.

With its new percussion revolver, the Italian gunmaker Pedersoli offers an improved version of the in-house model based on an old US handgun from the time of the US Civil War and the pioneer era. Matthias S. Recktenwald and Wolfgang Finze took a closer look at this interesting gun.

Two muzzle-loading firearms – the Cook Underhammer pistol and the Lorenz Type II rifle – and the breech loading Sharps Little Betsy rifle in .357 Magnum caliber: here are some products from the Italian manufacturer that are interesting not just from a technical viewpoint, but also from a historical perspective. Let's learn more about them.

With the new flintlock rifle, the Italian manufacturer Pedersoli launches a muzzleloader that is slightly longer than a standard Jäger model. This is not only intended to improve accuracy for target shooters, but also to recall a time when the German hunting rifle became the godfather of a new type of firearm in the USA. Read the details here.

Virtual SHOT Show 2021 / New from Pedersoli: .22 caliber Black Widow rifle. Another novelty presented in 2021 is a somewhat surprising firearm. It is in fact a single shot rifle in .22 LR caliber that can be easily carried in a backpack.

The Italian company, specializing in historical guns, presents a .63 caliber flintlock version of its Kodiak Express double rifle. This is the "third option" for this historic blackpowder hunting rifle, until now available in metal cartridge and percussion versions.
