The first thing to keep in mind is all leverguns are ammo length and bullet shape Now the shotgun - that's a subject for another thread. Good choice on the pistols - those will last you a lifetime. You'll be happier with your choice, the next time around. Ask some of the Cowboys at the club matches to try various rifles, then decide for yourself. What you used to buy at Big 5 for $300, they now are asking $900 for a used gun!!!! You might as well spend a little more money and get the Uberti 1873. In my opinion the "JM" (old model) Marlins are overpriced since they stopped making the 1894. Unless you shoot B Western (and need the Marlin) go straight to the 1873. Unfortunately, it is an entree level gun with a long "stiff" stroke that will never be close to an 1873 or even a slicked up Marlin. Your 1892 is a nice gun with excellent workmanship, fit and finish. You can solve the problem(s) with a little extra effort/expense. Some people use 357 mag primers to ensure a good "light off". You can run light (cowboy) loads in 357 cases. If money is no object, sell the 1892 and go straight to the Uberti 1873. You'll need to reload if you really get into this game anyway because the ammo expense is high. You will need to use 357 cartridges to get it to feed reliabily. I had a Winchester/Mirouku 1892 when I first started.
