SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been considering getting a 357 levergun and revolver(for a year, I hate being broke) because I am smitten by rifle/pistol combo's.
Got to looking around and saw the Ruger Carbines that take the same magazines as their pistols. I think I want one. What do you guys think about them? Granted they're not 500 yard battle rifles but I can't see that far anyway. Besides I doubt my shoulder would allow those anymore.

I think they'd be a decent defense gun and an awesome plinker. Which do you like better? 9MM or 40S&W? I bet a 357 SIG would sizzle out of a carbine.
