Hello everybody. I am looking to buy a new single shot pistol and the Pedersoli Navy Moll looks very nice:
http://www.davide-pedersoli.com/tipologia-prodotti.asp/l_en/idt_28/pistols-navy-moll.html
It's a good looking pistol, .45 caliber with maple stock. There is not much I could find about this pistol though, so I have some questions about it.
1) Why is it called "Navy"? The "Moll" part refers to David Moll, the maker, but were these pistols used by the U.S. Navy?
2) Is this a military/defensive style pistol, or is it purely a dueling pistol?
3) The sights on this gun look kind of out of place and too tall. Would it be possible to cut down the rear sight and add a shorter front sight?
If anybody out there knows, please help. Thanks so much all!
