Used to be that way back in the days of horse and buggy. Pistol and rifle being the same caliber made ammo requirements much easier.
Of course! Isn't that the whole idea?
LOL those are not "hip" pistols.
This being a M4 site the nod obviously goes to carrying mags pre-loaded with rifle cartridges.
But seriously, don't knock those magnum pistol lever action carbines. They are a real joy to shoot. The idea is to have a hand gun that uses the same ammo as your long gun. This is generally "small" ammo so it's feasible to carry more rounds. More so than rifle rounds. The long guns tend to get all the trigger time though as they are more forgiving than those big magnums in a hand gun.
I wish one of the major manufacturers made a lever action in .500 S&W. My dad has one that he had custom made by Bighorn I believe. It's a $2,500 lever action though. If Marlin or Henry made one it would be more affordable. Talk about a good bear/dangerous game gun to carry along side a .500 revolver.

Depending on ammo, a PCC lever gun makes a lot of sense. My chief complaints with shotguns are their size, recoil, and relatively few rounds. A PCC holds more rounds, is shorter, lighter, and (load dependent) kicks less. Nah, I'd take a PCC lever as a defense piece in a long heartbeat.

Anybody have any experience suppressing leverguns? I was eyeballing the Marlin threaded .357 and got some ideas. I like the factory peep sight on that model, but most cans would probably obscure them, and I would want to stick to irons on this project. The Dead Air Odessa might work, but I need to contact them and see if its rated for that; .357 and .38 are not on the list on their website.
Anybody know of any other suitable cans for iron sight use?
Also, if anybody knows of a suitable threaded host in .357 with blued steel and walnut with a regular (non big-loop) lever, I’d love to hear about that.

Osprey looks like it might be a good idea, thanks.
If I had the time, and money, I'd suppress, and SBR mine too, but with no stamps, I don't have to worry about traveling with it.
