Riddle me this. What was the first PCC? You're wrong, it was the Spanish Destroyer, I think. I had one and it was fun, but then I got tired of it before I used up the box of ammo. M1 carbine was the same. The one I want is one of the old Marlin Camp 9's, and I think they made that in 45 also, which would be a keeper.
What about all the revolver-caliber carbine lever guns way before the Spanish Destroyer?
