I have a Uberti 1873 that has been modified by Cody Conagher to fire .45 ACP. It works great! I use it for SASS "Wild Bunch" matches where you have to use a .45 1911 and a rifle in .40 caliber or greater. I didn't want to have to load .45 Colt just for a "side match", so I got the conversion done. It wasn't cheap.

if elected idiots somewhere pass a law about semiauto I think you will see a resurgence of mag fed pump (think remington 7615P), bolt (think Ruger American) and lever action options (think browning BLR or the new henry) in many calibers which probably will include pistol calibers. A glock mag fed 9mm lever sounds good to me!
Till forced there simply isn't enough market...

It would be cool though.... A 9mm could hold what, 13 or 14 rounds?

how hard would it be to just put 9mm, 40, 45, even the 10mm in the lever action cases ?

yes you would have to put them in triangle shaped , day glow boxes so that people would not mix them up.

and maybe even sell them in 62 round boxed packages , for the same reason.

you can't have too many pistol caliber lever actions.
