Nice looking rifle and concept. Everything was awesome, until I read the MSRP, two grand. Wow.

A very nice looking lever action rifle, but why a 9mm ? There are untold 9 mm rifles out there to purchase and enjoy. Ruger and Smith and Wesson now have semi 10mm rifles out there for any one that may desire a 10 mm easily pick up . But try and find a 10mm lever rifle. Not only would it never be a target for the mentally deficient congressmen interesting in gun control but a fine hunting rifle but a fun rifle to kill cans and similar targets. Perhaps soon a fine gun manufacturing company will see that sales would plummet with a fine lever action rifle with nine or ten rounds awaiting the chance to bring pleasure to a happy owner.

I initially thought no way Jose but considering the price for value I am looking for a bullet to bite over the price. Maybe let it float a little and knock 200 off? I like the whole idea and have levers in .45, .357 and .22. Excuse me while I slap myself around.

In reply to john creveling. I'm kind of a purest too when it comes to sticking threaded barrels on EVERYTHING these days, but at least they give you a smooth thread protector to replaced the knurled thread protector. It properly machined you wouldn't even know it's on there unless you examined it up close. Maybe they can offer it both ways and knock a couple hundred bucks off the price so it would be attractive to a wider group of shooters.

HOLE-LEE-COW! … I like the idea of a replica classic lever gun using a modern, inexpensive plinking round like the 9mm that’s NOT rim-fired. And the other nice touch is the threaded barrel, even though it’s a replica. I have just the ‘can’ for it!

The only problem for me is the price point. If it was in the $1250 range, or less, I’d be all over it. But alas, $2000 is just too rich for my blood! Nice rifle though!

18″ barrel but only 10 rounds? That doesn’t make sense. 20″ barreled revolver cartridge guns will hold 10, and the length of those cartridges is significantly longer than 9mm Luger. I currently own a few PCC lever guns, I might have to pick one of these up just due to the much less expensive price per round.

Over priced and under powered. Useful only for home defense, less expensive time at the range, and small animals. Even if it is wonderfully engineered and smooth operating, an accomplishment for a rimless cartridge, there are plenty of significantly less expensive rifles in much harder hitting rimmed cartridges (.357, .45 Colt, .44-40 to say nothing of .30-30 or .45-70) that are useful for animals larger than a dog.

In reply to john creveling. No threaded barrel or rails, when that is introduced to the older style guns, that addition spoils the firearm for me.

The author seems to handle the level action and SAA types well. Kind of noticed that on a Winchester .22b Ranger. Good job.

I love the made in the USA. Would wait for a made in USA SAA in a more traditional caliber.

Sadly most don’t have the ability to drop 2k for one.
being a fan of 9mm and ok with it’s limitations id love to have 1. I used to have a 1866 in 38spl and it was fun! this would be to me art and id use a piece of carpet on my range table. the threads are handy because i can afford to shoot without earpro.

Thank the Good Lord above that there’s no lawyer button on this firearm. I vehemently object however, to even the notion of hanging a muffler on the end of it. That would really destroy a decent looking lever gun. I’ll second others herein that mention much better chamberings… but it seems we’re stuck with the nutty-nine fad a while longer.

$2k?
Nope.
$1300 max.
And .40/10mm would be better

Seems oddly marketed. Long frame '73 but only 9mm.... (what, no .380?) Vintage looking but threaded? Acts like 'utility' but color-cased and no sling swivels? and 2 grand? I'm not so much judging as I am confused about the perceived market.

I think 357mag would be preferable. It’s suitable for hunting and won’t overwhelm the action of an 1873.
Don’t know how I feel about the threaded barrel.

Will the hand gun be paired with the rifle as a savings combination?

Hi All I have shot Cowboy Action Shooting (SASS) for 14 years and have put thousands of rounds through my Cimarron 1873. While the 9mm is nice for my money get one for a little over half the price in .357. You can shoot .38s for fun and plinking or drop in a suitable .357 for serious work and mid sized game, much more versatile. I’m sorry but a case hardened, wood stocked 1873 should not have a threaded barrel.
