[bugout]

I think I wore it better....

it has a 9mm barrel (not the orig 357 barrel)
16.5inch, threaded 1/2-28
picatinny rail up top

RPP lever takedown screw
RPP med loop

Cool.

Ummm... I mean, "THAT'S DUMB!"

Now that all bases are covered, I guess I'll ask you since nobody answered in the other thread...
Is it safe to load 9mm FMJ?
No primer contact issues?

What type and weight bullets shoot well from it? Ever chronograph any loads? I'm thinking a 147 grain bullet would pack a wallop within 50 yards, maybe more?

I'm open to new ideas, but that POF is one ugly sumbitch...yours is not. Kudos on that.

I don't have any concerns about primer on primer as the round noses are relatively "round" and less mass than 357/38 but guess it could happen?

Have not chronographed anything, only have had it out a few times and need more rounds through it to understand what it can do...

Now my 45acp converted marlin 1894 - thar hits hard, is quiet and is Uber reliable with the RPP extractor installed!

Oh yeah... this one has a big brother in 45acp!

This is what a 9mm lever should look like.

Does it take Glock mags ? 😃

[Palerider]

Can you use the sights with the rail on it?

[bugout]

Yes the rail is see thru just enough to allow use of the Buckhorn + front sight

Definitely better than the tacticool pof version. If that were marketed, I'd consider getting one. I'd definitely be even more interested in it's bigger brother in 45acp.

I doubt there would be enough recoil generated by any pistol calibers to make it a concern. It really doesn't become a problem until you get up to things like 30/30.
