Would you buy a pistol calibre pump-action rifle?

I had one for Western Action, but it was too different, and I was subjected to silly requirements by people who didn't understand the how it actually worked, so idiots were always running up while I was loading it screaming "unsafe, unsafe" because the action had to be open to load, unlike a lever rifle.

It was a copy of the Colt Lightning.


What? Haha Western Action peeps are a funny bunch.

There is a Pistol range in Mansfield that is open 24/7 and you can shoot even a 308 there.

Nonetheless, a lot of fun if the people are congenial.

I would love to have one. When I was in Canada I had a Keltec Sub 2000. It was enormously fun. I didn't use it for hunting or competition, just for fun, and it was fun. I reloaded so it was very cheap to shoot, and because it took a pistol mag you could have 10 rounds in it (in Canada semi auto centerfire rifles are limited to 5 round magazine capacity, unless it takes a pistol magazine, which are limited to 10 rounds).
I'd love to have one again, but obviously its not going to happen here. I've been thinking of getting an Alfa Proj carbine in 357, as it seems to be the closest I can get, in terms of how much fun it should be.
So a pump action pistol carbine would be awesome. But you would have to get the cost down one way or the other, or they'll be real tough sell. I would look at having it manufactured in Turkey or the Phillipines.

I have always wanted a pump action in 9mm or 357. The problem is the cost and limited availability on the market. The only one I could find was the Israeli one......I think it was about $3000!!! The only other alternative was the Remington 7615 (aka jamamatic), in my opinion, this is also way overpriced. If I remember correctly, the map in USA was about $500, so why are we paying $1800 for them here????
I reckon you are on a winner if you manufacture a 9mm or 357 Magnum pump for the Australian market. You may even be able to export it to other countries that have strict hand gun laws like Australia....e.g. UK.
I personally don't know why Lithgow didn't do it, after all, their current bolt action has some serious competition to deal with in Howa and tikka.
A pump action in a pistol calibre has very little competition in Australia.

I think small calibre pumpy's are great, I have 25-20 and a 32-20 pump actions and my 218 Bee pump action should be finished in the next few weeks. :D
Next up is figuring out how to do a 9mm. If you want something do you're homework and figure out how and make it happen

Where would one even begin with making a pump? Start with a 7615?

I'd love one. I'd love Timberwolf, but they are very expensive and hard to find. I'd love one in 45-70 too, that would be awesome. And 9mm would be awesome. As well as 44 and 500 mag.

Or if someone would come up with a unique caliber, like say 11.3x64R, that would be a cool lead slinger. Eh! Sneaky AF here :)

A lever release pistol caliber carbine that takes glock mags and has AR features in my opinion would be much more practical, popular and fun option. The Verney Carron is doing alright around the world and in Australia and people in Australia have been going nuts over the lever release rim fire that Savage have release for pre order. To me the lever release is the way to go.

I brought a Beretta 357 Gold Rush back in 2009 and it's been a great little gun.
