is a real laugh. It might have made sense when there was no such thing as a real long range rifle, or scopes, or men who really UNDERSTOOD long range riflery. Today, however, a (7 lb) scoped 223 carbine can easily reach 1/4 mile, or handle .44 mag carbine type shots on deer, and it can also have a 1 lb, 20 second swap to .22lr. So why lug around a 7-8 lb rifle that only has a 150 m capability, because it's chambered in a pistol caliber? That's just plain silly. Why lug around 3 lbs of .44 mag pistol, when you can do the same job with a 2 lb lw Commander, chambered in 460 Rowland, and have a gun that's capable of hitting twice as fast for defensive use, has a .22lr conversion unit, can fire .45 ACP'S, or 9x19 for practice-use, is a lot easier to conceal, etc, than the .44 is, hmm?
6 lb CAR, 1 lb scope and mount, 1 lb of .22lr conversion unit, and 2 lbs of alloy framed 1911, or 7 lbs of lever action, 1 lb of scope and mount, and 3 lbs of .44 mag, to have MANY times the potential use with the the CAR and 1911? Only a dummy chooses the lever and the revolver.
