Pedersoli Remington Pattern

[Dan18]

Just purchased a Pedersoli 44 caliber Remington Pattern Target revolver; any thoughts on the piece. From what I been told I will need some work on the action trigger. Will take delivery of it soon.

A couple of years ago I had an opportunity to run several rounds through a Pedersoli Remington - wasn't mine. Nice shooter. My education on cap/ball revolvers then was not what it is now. Because of that I don't know just how good it was but, I remember being impressed with it. However, I am often impressed with my Uberti 1858 New Army and from what I have seen, you can buy 4-5 Uberti Remingtons for the price of one Pedersoli. I own a Perersoli side X side that I wouldn't part with for anything, fine shotgun. But, when it comes to their revolvers, I just can't see how the high cost is justified, maybe it is, don't know. I really would like the opportunity to shoot one side by side with a Uberti, Pietta or similar and see just what the difference is. Maybe when you get it you could run this test and let the rest of us know what you find. eace:

Thanks for the input. I have a Ruger Old Army, a Euroarms Rogers/Spencer and a Pietta Remington 1858. All these were purchased used in great shape, some unfired. The Ruger O/A I bought new in the "70's. All revolver have function well for me. I have owned a few Pedersoli and enjoy their older firearms. As for the Pedersoli Remington Pattern I should receive it tommorrow; it also is a preowned revolver, about 50 rounds thru it, I have been told. The price was decent as I would not even consider the purchase of a new one. I cerntainly will give my thoughts on all pistols concerned.

After your first outing with it, put some of your observations up here for us, I would be interested in knowing what an experienced cap 'n ball revolver guy thinks of the Pedersoli Remington.

I received the Pedersoli Remington Pattern recently, but have not been to the range as of yet. The revolver is a used one in excellant condition, sight ring marks on the cylinder. The action is very smooth, with a light trigger with no creep. Wood to metal fit is super. All metal in a matte finish, nice looking and feel with the grips. When I fire it I'll send in a report, I believe the revolver was discontinued by Pedersoli, although the show it in their web site.

If DP discontined that revolver it must have have been recent decision. I got one of their catalogs direct from Italy last year, the Remington was listed in there along with another revolver they were making - a Star I believe.
