that's why you get the 357 in a 20" octagon. [short rifle]
the little round barrel carbines are like shooting a toy.
the stocks are a bit short and you use your thumb knuckle to set your nose against for aiming.
yep pop every time, but consistent and accurate.
if someone would set a 500$ price point on a good lever gun and break out some decent chamber reamers they could sell a pretty big pile of them.
the reason they don't sel more is because everybody already has 2-3 44 mags and a few 45 colts.
not gonna buy another one.
but a 38-40, 32-20, 41 mag or the like would surely sell those same guy's a new lever gun or three.
