That thing was on the cover of a gun rag I get. My first thought was "cool, that looks like a fun gun!" Then, I actually thought about it and realized that it makes a lousy pistol and a lousy rifle with the almost non-existent stock, so I'm not sure what the point is other than the Hollywood factor.

You can never have enough horsepower or ammunition.

I would like it better if it had a real stock, this is a bit gimmicky for me ..

It might be a good woods gun. I'm guessing they had to make the stock so small so that they could call it a pistol instead of a short barreled rifle.
Plus, think how cool it would look in a thigh rig.

While I think it looks awesome, thats about where the reasons to buy it end. You can get the same capacity and calibers in a revolver but with much quicker follow up shots. That being said, I have a thing for lever actions and would probably pick one up if I had the extra cash.

It looks fun but dosen't do well as a pistol or a rifle, IMO. Buuuut, in my sick little head; get one, put a full length stock on it, pay your $200, and have an awesome lever action SBR.
Reconsidering......I don't watch shark week. Sharks watch FLICK week.
