I think it's a great idea. I have a Winchester 94 Trapper in 45LC that I have loaded some hot 230grain Gold Dots in and would have no issues using for defense. It definitely has more energy than what comes out of a 5" 1911.
With some practice, the cowboy action boys can lay down the firepower with lever guns.
One other issue is pointed ammo, it's a no-no in a tubular magazine. There are more choices out today but you can't shoot everything in them.
