from what i can find, it is not legal to hunt with a CVA Optima pistol. anyone know if i'm right? i live in a county where i can hunt with a rifle, which means i can hunt with a handgun, which in turn states that it must be .23 cal minimum and a muzzle energy greater than 375 ft/lbs. Optima muzzleloader or the traditions vortek pistols both are way beyond that with a .50 cal. but not legal to hunt with?

edit...forgot to mention i am talking about virginia
