cheers they sound great ,just got find one in my price range

You DO realise that £450 is about half the price of a new one?

Seems like a great price to me, but then, I'm not after one.

They also have a lot of other single-shot pistols, but they might not be what interests you, if you have your heart set on a target pistol of this type.

Me, I'd go for it, even though it's in Wigan.

Mind you, you have to, don't you?

Bearing in mind the appalling dangers involved in allowing such a fearsome item of mass-carnage into the UK in the fust place, I'm amazed that we haven't all been arrested this minute for looking at the photo.

They can tell, y'know.....

I strip mine every time I use it. It only takes a second to pull it apart. I also wipe out the barrel every eight or nine shots during use as I can feel the balls getting more difficult to load.

Pedersoli Le Page .44 think of getting one as my first black powder gun,
any good

They are superb, set and standard trigger. Mine is .36 cal and is more accurate than me with 9 gns of 777 (tripple 7 ) powder and patched ball. As for cleaning using 777 just take barrel off and rinse in warm water, run a patch through it followed by boiling water and let dry.Then oil/lube/spray with whatever takes your fancy,all done in 5 mins.

Mine came new with rod and muzzle saver.End of rod unscrews to allow brushes to be fitted. Pyrodex is as corrosive as black and needs the same cleaning. I have only ever used tripple 7 in it but i do use black and pyro in my musket.Kranks supplied me with a ball starter and i made a powder funnel and drop tube that takes powder right to the breech.I also knocked up a loading stand with slots to take the accessories which makes loading a lot easier.
