http://www.ronspomeroutdoors.com/blog/ifg-pedersoli-howdah-double-barrel-pistol-45-colt-410/


Pedersoli of Italy is making a Howdah double barrel pistol, a near replica of the Ithaca except it’s chambered for the .45 Colt and fitted with side-by-side rifled barrels. That allows it to be imported by the Italian Firearms Group of Texas and sold as a pistol — one that can also fire .410 shotshells.

Should have been chambered for .460/.454/.45/.410

Weren't Howdah pistols originally chambered for incredibly outlandish over-50-caliber loads?  What the heck is a .410 gonna do to a pissed off tiger?

A real howdah pistol is. This is just a Taurus Judge dressed up like a howdah pistol.

If it had outside hammers and came in 20 ga flavor I'd be all over it!

I don't like how the grip looks on this new Howdah at all; it may help with recoil, but it doesn't look right.
It is still pretty cool though, and if it is cheap enough I may consider it.

was expecting this.


not a rechambered ithaca auto and burglar.



also the chambering 45/.410 ghey!





Cartridge comparison (left to right): .44 Magnum, .50 Beowulf, .500 Linebaugh, .500 S&W.

.500 linebaugh would have been good.

I know the were trying to make a very cool, functional, historical piece while staying out of NFA territory



But goddamn, in 45/.410 you might as well save some bucks and buy a Cobray 11 incher

What's the MSRP supposed to be on these things?

Not a Howdah.



Not even close.

Yes they were about 20 gauge. Sales of that would be complicated as that would mostly end up as an AOW. It is more closely attuned to the Ithaca auto and burglar.



Do want!

But where do you get the elephant to go with it? Next question, will an elephant spook a hog? Make for an awesome hog hunt on elephant back.

As he describes, it's really an Ithaca Auto Burglar replica. Those would have been in 20 or 28 gauge originally. Making it a .45/.410 keeps it importable and off of the NFA registry while maintaining shotgun shell capability, like the original had.

I agree-wonder how hard a traditional styled double barrel stock would be to fit-either for SBR/SBS guys, or just for a more traditionally shaped pistol grip.

Keep an eye out sometimes the price drops to $600 or less. They also have a basic gun and a deluxe kit. The deluxe is cased and has accessories. It usually runs a little more. That was probably the one you saw.

Maybe..but no mention was on the tag of extras. I WOULD want the roundball mold with it though. Lots of cheap ammo!
