9mm Lever action?

realspeed

Is there such a thing?

select-fire

Never seen one.

Sounds pretty cool... I wonder why they would not? Maybe a rimless cartridge? I know there are other pistol caliber levers, but no auto cartridges...

Supposedly there are some converted Ruger 96/44 leverguns in the UK that run .45 acp and use Sten mags. But nothing in 9mm in a lever gun.

I can't wait to get an 1894 Winchester in 9mm. I am planning a moose and grizzly hunt. [:D][:D]

I don't think there are very many 9mm rifles anyway. (not even looking) because the case volume is so small, not going to go much faster than a 6" pistol. so why? only reason to put it in a carbine such as the Beretta Storm is to get 100 more fps and improve aim. forget a rifle, not worth it.

any semiauto pistol cartridge, you get little more from 5" to 6", and barely anything after 6".

(magnum revolver cartridges are a different story.)

That would be a fun gun for sure! Cheap ammo, light recoil, good home defense gun I bet.

Makes me think of these old marlin camp guns a little.

There are several 9mm semi-auto versions of sub-machine guns. (Uzi for example)
I have a Hi-Point 9mm carbine which they also make in .40 S&W &
.45 auto.

sight radius may be a advantage but other than that ?good link. and here's a chart to go with it.

9mm Federal Hydra-Shok 147 gr.



after 5" you're only going to get another 100 fps at the most.

Won't happen, too much non-flatnosed 9mm ammo out there. Some hello will drop his rifle and blow it up.
