get fast with practice. considering when it was invented it was generally being compared to a single shot, or a pepper box, so probably was considered a high tech improvement.

loading the magazine is a bit aggravating at first, but it gets easier with practice, at least it does with the henry rifle repros.

Very neat! (reply)

I’m curious, how exactly do you shoot that little guy? Is the lever stroke short and light enough you can just run the one finger through it and flip it out and back? As a former 1860 owner I know how the follower tab can be a pain at times, I would imagine holding the barrel/magazine with the off hand and working the lever with your thumb and forefinger finger would cause issues as well. I’ve always wondered if they were considered to be more of a single shot with a fairy quick reload vs a repeater like a good revolver would be. Looking forward to hearing a range report!

one of the guys on Leverguns Community built something similar years ago, but with centerfire, cut down 40 S&W brass IIRC. In 22 LR that'd be a fun little plinker.
