Re: TACTICAL Lever Guns - Purists AVERT THINE EYES!
Perhaps you might be right. In my own experience of 60 years of shooting leverguns including Savage 99s, both hunting and plinking, I never accidentally tripped the trigger when closing the lever. I was taught to keep my trigger finger out of the way; the levergun equivalent of laying one's finger alongside the receiver.

Re: TACTICAL Lever Guns - Purists AVERT THINE EYES!
So what is the sense of a lever gun if you shoot it like a single shot? I did it once with gloves on and stay out of the trigger guard with gloves now. I sure don't pull my finger out of the trigger guard with a pump shotgun. Half the pumps I own are slam fire.

Re: TACTICAL Lever Guns - Purists AVERT THINE EYES!
I have a marlin 45LC that I had converted to run 45ACP, barrel and tube chopped to 16.5" and threaded... due to the short OAL of 45acp, it carries 10+1.
Early on, I had some intermittent extraction issues (you really had to charge the lever with authority) but got the ranger point precision extractor and installed it; runs like dream.
This particular specimen shoots like a laser beam with very little felt recoil, it's like a puff of smoke really when you pull the trigger - follow up shots can be very quick (but it's a lever)
I experiment with running the lever with 1 finger, 2-3, and full; you can also rest your thumb on the side of the receiver to steady it (do not wrap if you want speed) and get in ALOT of reps with that trigger finger in the same spot (do not let it drift into the pinch).
I am in the process of doing a similar conversion of a 357 marlin 1894 to 9mm (9x19) with the barrel & tube chopped down and threaded as well.
Also going to install alot of aftermarker RPP parts like the medium loops, light loading gates, extractor again, mlok rail gen2, etc
Is it practical or realistic compared to what's out there? No, but it's fun.
