Just because you can, doesn't mean you should......

 

[oremike]

Interesting concept I suppose. If I was going to get another lever gun to fill the nitch between my Henry .22 and Rossi 44 Mag I'd look to something in .357.

 

[kmk1012]

$2k? Dang

 

[Panda56]

Nah.

$2k? Dang

That and proprietary magazines…

 

[PORSCHE928S4]

Why didn't they make it so it takes Glock mags ?

 

[ZA_Survivalist]

It's cool. I like new designs.. it's price point makes it impractical for most shooters compared to other firearms within the same price range.

 

[bradsteen]

$1900? It's cool, but that's a little much.

Why didn't they make it a little more 'conventional' to potentially appeal to a wider range of gun owners?

That's one weird lookin' critter for sure. But if it's just for fun, why not? As long as it's reliable, then it's all good.

Edit: just read bradsteen's post. $1900? WTF?! I bet it will be down to $1100 in 6 months and $900 in 12 months.

Oh I agree. I want a lever 9mm for suppressor use. This is a step in the right direction.

 

[Red98422]

Oh this probably confuses the hell outta the Cali lawmakers lol.

Just needs a shoulder thing that goes up and it'll really stick in their craw.

 

[Xaevian]

That's pretty neat, but just as impractical as any other lever rifle in a pistol caliber. The price is reflective of the cost to develop and manufacture a completely new model, especially for a small shop. I wouldn't expect it to drop much until the new tooling and development costs are paid off. At that time, you might see new caliber options too.

 

[Nosferatu]

Why didn't they make it so it takes Glock mags ?

It can't. The magazines orientation. due to being made for a forward canted pistol magwell, would interfere with operation of the lever.

 

[Capn Jack]

And someone was teasing me about my Matchlock..

Impractical? Well, this might be a matter of opinion but there is certainly no lack of popularity of them. The sales history of pistol caliber lever actions over the years is evidence of it.

Hey, maybe you should build a piezoelectric flintlock?

 

[bionic knees]

well, you are right about one thing, it is ugly for sure.

Yeah, but convenience of having a pistol that shares ammo and popularity doesn't really mean practical. Hey, they are still cool, but even a .30-30 will dwarf them in actual usefulness. The opposite is also fairly true. A .30-30 revolver is totally impractical, but still cool.
