Well,

I went expecting not much and planning to be surprised.
I got about what I expected.
The show was very small, with several vendors not showing.
Since there was originally only 10 planned any no shows had an impact.

The good news, yes there is good news.

The 2 vendors I did really want to see, did show up.
Sabatti and D.Pedersoli where both present and accounted for.
Sabatti had 2 O/U DR's in 9.3 and 2 SXS DR's a Model Safari in 45/70 and a Big Five in 470NE
Both very nice, a notch above the 92.
The 45/70 barrels are too thin for my liking, the 470 felt very nice.

D.Pedersoli had a very large display.
Including the Kidiac BP DR's in 50, 54 and 72 cal.
They had a Howdah pistol in 20 ga smoothbore also available in 50, 54 cal and combo 20ga and 50, 54 cal.
They had a Kodiak Mk IV in 45/70.

The rest of the vendors had shotguns, Beretta had 8 ~ 10 guns compared to D. Pedersoli with 50 +.
I was surprised that Beretta did not have a better showing.

Well that is the report.
I grabbed a full line catalog from D.Pedersoli and Sabatti so it was worth it.

Cheers
Nitro

450-


That 20bore D.Pedersoli percussion howdah pistol is a ripper with 70gr FFg and roundball.
It's one seriously fun handgun, and mine prints pairs of holes right on the bead at 35 yards.




Cheers

Tinker,

The one at the show had a little flip up rear sight ( New this year ) Really cute !
It was also fitted with a removeable butt stock.
I should have taken some pictures.
I just got sidetracked, so sorry no pictures.
