The only reason for a pistol cartridge in a rifle is convenience, it's all it has ever been. A reason for a rifle in an exotic pistol cartridge is practically nonexistent...

Right!
No good reason at all,
Other than light weight, accuracy, fast action, & impressive magazine capacity in a carbine that is a pleasure to carry & allows a pocketful of cartridges to be more than twice the number they otherwise would be...
If long range is not what you’re looking for they make fantastic tools.
Cartridges like the .357, .41 & .44 magnum take on an entirely different with an extra 500 FPS. The .480 with an extra 200 would certainly interest me.
