Does anyone have a muzzleloader CVA Optmia V2 PISTOL?

Over the past 40 years I have hunted deer with a pistol on and off. Started out with a WWII bring back Colt 1911A1 with a 200 gr lead SWC pushed by 7 grs Unique. 50 yards and under self imposed yardage and a shot to the ribcage was a dead deer. Took one with a 50 cal. CVA Mountain Pistol with 50 grs FFFG and a round ball at 30 yards. A 44 mag would have not killed any better. Have used various revolvers and t/c contender in various calibers. I saw on YouTube the CVA Optima and newer V2 version 50 cal. muzzleloader pistol and thought that is right down my path. If you have one what is your impression and what loads are you shooting? I have looked everyplace I can think of on line and NOBODY has one in stock like every other thing you seem to need. I am on the notification list one place for when they get one in.

Friends of mine have a unique business supplying supplies and all parts necessary to build pistols , rifles ,and Fowler’s . I met them as a customer and left them fifty years later as friends. They’re a class act and as honest as they come. They can be Googled and you can see if this is what you you have in mind.

Just for peoples information. I called CVA and spent eternity on hold but finally got to speak to someone. They still make the Optmia V2 pistol but it is a dealer priority item. www.muzzleloader.com is THE dealer. CVA makes 1 or 2 runs of these a year and usually ships to the dealer in the summer.
