I have a 14" TC barrel that I extended to 16"+ with a Choate

extension. It is about like a .38-40. About. Best I can get velocity wise with the 180s is around 1200-1300 fps using BlueDot. Useful yes, but might be disappointing to the high-velocity adherents. I would often use it with the Choate folder and that made for a compact "truck" or woods bumming rifle. The thing is is that a good .44 or .45 revolver is more compact and easier to carry. Further, while we can carry concealed on National Forest here (outside of hunting seasons), we can't open carry so the carbine is prohibited except during hunting season(s) or from September to the end of January.
