I also like the Marlin 1894. I have one of the recent production 45 Colt, octagonal 20” barrel ones. It was my first pistol cartridge lever.
I actually got interested in the pistol cartridge levers when looking for a small and relatively lightweight fun-gun rifle for my wife to shoot. This search got me tangled in the web of pistol cartridge carbines.
