It's Mini Me
 
Remember the CVA .45 cal. Kentucky Pistol?
Well here's her Mini Me.
A CVA .32 cal. Pioneer Pistol. She's been sitting in my underwear drawer for about 20 years, maybe longer, and not taken care of. She's not in too bad of shape after trying to clean her up yesterday. I need to try to re-blue the barrel. Can anyone find any load data on this pistol for me?

Mini Me got re-blued.

Try 20 - 25 gr of FFFg or Pyrodex P with a PRB.

Oh well, I put it together over 20 years ago and thought it looked better that way so I guess I'll leave it backwards. Here's Mini Me and the .45.
It almost looks like the two locks could be interchangeable. Maybe I should give one of them a sex change operation an turn it into a Flinlock.

The .32 cal. pistol has been re-blued and patches and balls have been purchased so it will go to the range with me on my next trip.

I've only had it out once and was shooting powerbelts. They shot very well but I don't want to stop there. I purchased some XTP's but have not had it to the range with them yet. I will be sure to post the results when I do.
