I spent the morning at the range today with the Optima pistol. I added a set of CVA Durasights and want to see how it did.
All in all, I'm pretty happy with the setup. Shot out at 50 yards.
I started off with BH209 but after just a couple shots, the 209 didn't seem to work. My third shot was a dud. Swabbed the barrel, and cleaned the breech plug. Reloaded, fired. Hang fire!
Put that stuff away and grabbed my small flask full of Pyrodex.
No problems with it. Maybe the BH209 I have is old? Only had it about 10 months.
Anyway, 70 grains of pyrodex, 200 grain traditions smackdown bullets. Not the tightest group. But not horrible either. I had to tinker a bit with the sights and got pretty close. Ran out of powder so I called it a day.
