Pedersoli | Howdah Vintage 45LC/.410 | 10.25″ Barrel

The Pedersoli Howdah Vintage is a reproduction break-action double-barrel pistol chambered for .45/.410 with a 10.25-inch barrel. It uses a true side-lock action with exposed hammers and double triggers, and comes with a checkered walnut stock and a case-colored/blued finish. For a modern low-profile optic option under $1,000 that pairs with this pistol’s short sight radius and close-range intended use, the Vortex Venom red dot provides a compact footprint and straightforward mounting options.

Typical applications include historical shooting and reenactment, and short-range field work where a compact double-barrel design is appropriate.
