About
What it is, and why it matters
The Pedersoli Doc Holliday Single Action is a Colt-inspired single-action revolver chambered in .38 Special, built by Davide Pedersoli & C. for Cowboy Action Shooting. It features a Thunderer-style bird's head grip in checkered wood, a loading gate with hand ejector rod, a spur hammer, and a blade front sight. Offered with a choice of 4.2-inch or 5-inch barrel and a blued or nickel finish, it commemorates the Old West gunfighter and dentist John Henry 'Doc' Holliday.
The revolver is named for John Henry 'Doc' Holliday, the tubercular dentist turned gambler and gunfighter who stood beside Wyatt Earp at the 1881 Gunfight at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona.
Part of Pedersoli's Old West 'Western trilogy' of commemorative single-action revolvers. Four factory configurations combine 4.2" or 5" barrels with blued or nickel finish. The rifled barrel is produced by a broaching process.

Trajectory
What the round does downrange
Solved from the muzzle figures and the bullet. The dashed rule is the effective range on the record, and the crosses are the steps the solver returned.
No load solved for this record yetThe flight path is computed from a cartridge and a bullet. This record has no ammunition filed against its chambering, so there is nothing to solve.
