I think they are cool, but see no real good use for one. I'm too young for the dead Or Alive TCV show,so that may have something to do with it. I'm a big fan o fthe '92 winchester, but think that I'd be better served with a good SA revolver. Capacity is the same, I can actually shoot the thing like a pistol should be shot and I can probably shoot it faster and more accurately than I could a Mare's Leg.
I wouldn't want to be the one to test whether or not the average leo knows this is actually a pistol. It could turn into a huge hassle. "Really, officer, this isn't a short barreled rifle. Please don't arrest me."
