I shoot primarily pistol competition. biathlon and paper matches. I had great success with my Traditions .50cal Trapper but the recoil is enough that it hurts the arthritis in my hands. I got a very expensive Pedersoli Le page that I can shoot pretty well two handed but not very well one handed so the paper matches are not good. I think part of the problem is that the lock in the Le page has never been quite right. I cant get the trigger pull correct without haveing un intentional hammer drops. Where its set right now there is a bit of creep and sometimes the hammer wont drop. If I reduce the creep the hammer will drop by just tapping the side of the pistol against my hand. I spent $50.00 to mail it to their warrantee guy and it came back functioning but not perfect by any means. out of the box it was not functioning at all. I hesitate to go through that process again. I really like the trigger pull on my Trapper and the way I have custom carved the grip. I like the weight and Ballance. The solution is to find a .45 barrel that will fit on my current trapper with no modification so that I can use my .50 cal barrel for hunting. Other option is find a barrel that I could fit into a new trapper kit. Preferably 10 inch long and 1 in 20 or 1 in 18 twist with adjustable sights.
Thanks for your ideas.
