The Taylor’s & Company Howdah Vintage (brand part no. 210247) is a side-by-side double-barrel pistol chambered for both .45 Colt and .410 Bore, built with a 10.25-inch barrel and finished in a case-colored receiver with a wood grip for a genuinely period-correct look. Historic Howdah pistols were originally carried by hunters riding atop elephants in India, built to stop dangerous game at close range in a single, reliable break-open action, and Taylor’s & Company brings that same concept to modern shooters as a large-bore, close-range defensive or field option. Its bead front sight and flip-up rear sight keep the aiming system simple and fast for a two-shot gun meant for up-close encounters.
