I believe the potential is there.

I shot a 49XX at our match yesterday and that was good enough for first place.  I think the little beast is going to work out to be a fine pistol.  I can't wait to get some range time to fine tune the sights and do some load development.  In spite of the initial issues, it looks like I've got a good shooting pistol. :lol:

No, I never did.  I just fixed it and moved on.

A little up date on this project.  

I took second place in the yearly aggregate this time adding 20 points to my score over last season.  I only had the new pistol for the last three matches so I expect to do better next time.  I beat the fellow who shoots the modern in-line target pistol.
The Gentleman who took first is shooting a custom built dueling pistol.  He was 8 points ahead of me so I still have a little work to do.  I am still tweaking my load and getting to know the Pedersoli pistol better each time I shoot it.  

I can honestly say that I am happy with the pistol and getting along with it just fine.
