It has been over 30 years since i was into black powder. Building kentucky rifles, flint locks, Navys ect. Since then i have been into making long bows and devoting my time to traditional bow hunting. Recently i have had the itch for a black pistol. I am looking for a big pistol for hunting. I came across the Optima 50 cal and it looks like what i am looking for. Does anyone have any experience with this gun?
