I have a Rossi 92 in .44 MAG that hurts the hell out of my shoulder. I'll always prefer shooting my 30-30 Marlin, but the Rossi's one redeeming quality is that once I had it, I had to get myself a S&W 629!

I just saw a centennial model like mine today at the gun shop today, 2500 bucks!
But my kid grabbed a sig 938 extreme something or other.
So yeah, I've got the lever bug, always have.
I would go .357 as well since i have a new ruger blackhawk in .357. Nice pairing.
It wasn't so much that I got the lever bug, but that there actually was proposed legislature in Trenton that would have outlawed semi-automatics.
In response I got a revolver and lever-action, both in .357, just in case it happens. I'll still have a pistol and a carbine.

Then I found the lever action was flat-out total fun to shoot, much more than the revolver or the semis.
But a lever action isn't classified as a semi-automatic. Or is it? LOL

Not under New Jersey law. A double-action revolver comes far closer to the definition of a a semi than a lever action.

Still kinda want one of those.

Would also love a 24" lever gun that took 9mm. Load on Sunday and shoot all week.
Man that would be sweet! I'd be all in for a 9mm lever action if the price was right. As it stands I'll probably go the 22 route for purely economic reasons. Plus with a 22 lever action you can shoot super quiet subsonic ammo all day and not have to pay the ransom for a suppressor.

Ha ha... a 9mm lever gun may be a challenge design stripping the empty case from the chamber. And the barrel would have to be 18” or shorter or the bullet might start to lose velocity even before leaving the muzzle! -But I love the idea.
