Recommendation for a Lever Action, Pistol Caliber Carbine

[Sniper 6,372]

I figured I ask the brain trust here to see if this even exists. Based on how the idiots in Trenton would love to ban anything that's a semi-auto, I was thinking maybe a lever action should be added to the safe.

I haven't started any searching yet, but does a short barrel, lever action carbine exist (preferably in 9 mm or 40 caliber)? Not interested in hunting or any higher caliber, which many seem to be. If there is something tactically designed, useful for a home defense situation versus hunting that would fit the bill.

Any suggestions from the guys in the know here?

Lots of 38/357 models around.

Something like https://www.henryusa.com/rifles/all-weather-big-boy/

Just replace sights with some sort of peep/ghost ring/etc., and your all set.

Or you can just buy this guy:

Nothing in 9mm - you need a rimmed cartridge for it to feed properly.  Hence .38/.357.  My buddy has a Henry .357 that he's actually thinking of getting rid of...

Thanks,

That was what I was afraid of, not knowing anything about lever action, that makes sense. Not really interested in having to inventory another caliber, hoping to use the common calibers that I already have. I don't have any wheelguns.

Henry does have a Lever action ..223. (also .308) but it's a 5 (4 for .308) round detachable mag...

The new Ruger PC Carbine should not fall under any future legislation, as long as they don't ban ALL semi-automatics. No pistol grip, no flash hider.... It is a semi-auto rifle with a removable magazine. I love mine, very accurate and easy to shoot.
