I have owned three Pedersoli's.The first was a sharps replica and you couldn't ask for a better gun. the second is a 72cal Kodiak. They drilled the nipple holes at the wrong angle and the hammer had to be modified to make it work. The third is a Whitworth and it didn't shoot worth a dam. Sent it in for warranty. It arrived at their shop on Oct. 15th 2019. Haven't seen it since. Will be seventeen weeks this Wednesday. I am about to loose my patience. It was at Lee Shavers shop for six weeks before they even unpacked it. When I call I get nothing but excuses. There will be no more Pedersoli for me.
