For $249 bucks, buy it, and call it your new truck gun.
Keep in mind it's a blowback action. To long a burning powder and the action might start opening to early.
The real advantage is accuracy. You can easily make hits past 100 yards and still deliver lots of power.

That's a fine looking shooting shack you have there! Looks like a cap&ball ready to go. My kind of fun.Sound like some interesting projects. We have an all out Blizzard here tonight and it is -11 degrees. I will have to burn some smelly pine in the old range shed. Or maybe I will just run down to Arizona for a few days. I expect my chronograph would need a heater and defroster to work here at 7,000'

Only if it's still greenUMMM, aren't you nervous about burning pine?
Whuz wrong with burnning pine?
There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with burning "seasoned" pine! The firewood sites have debunked that myth long ago, but I see it does keep getting repeated.I guess it depends on what you read. Since we don't have a fireplace which I would love, I will abstain. I have heard it argued both ways including pine makes good kindling for getting things going.

you could use that hipoint to bust some pine down, did it once with the 9mm (smaller trunks grew too close together and killed each other off) that 40 with some fmjs should be able to get you a decent amount of tinder and kindling with about half a Mag, then the saw can do the rest.When you live above 7,000' it is Ponderosa Pine or freeze.
Meecos Creosote destroying powder works too if you get anything unseasoned, never had a problem with pine.....except that it does burn out faster (albeit hotter) than other trees, think of burning pine like a 9mm frame (not chamber) shooting a .40 hot load.......you can do it quite well, just not for as long.The article advised cleaning your chimney once a year -- which is what I do.
I also use Chimney Sweeping Logs (CSL) (you can get them at WalMart,) and burn one every now and then (instructions on the label) to keep your chimney clean in between sweeps.

Burning "unseasoned" pine is just like burning any other "unseasoned" wood, you are asking for a creosote chimley fire!
BTW, I've heated my home all winter, for a couple winters, burning nothing but the FREE seasoned pine slab wood that came off my BSM. It burned clean and made a lot of heat.

I burn plenty of pine just like all wood let it sit for next season good to go. Burns hot, splits easier, lighter to carry, whats not to love.I guess it depends on what you read.

yep and I have heard since hard woods can smolder more it potentially can cause more creosote.I agree, my neighbor behind me has his cribs filled and plenty of it is pine. It burns fast but has worked just fine for the 30 years Dave has been behind me. The link I posted says the same as pine burns just fine and all wood contains creosote.
