Rossi Ranch Hand

This is essentially a repost from MGO... I figured I'd bring the discussion here too, cause if these are legal in Michigan, I'll be strapping one to my leg in a drop leg holster during a picnic for sure.

Does anyone know anything about the Rossi Ranch Hand?

I just discovered a little bit about it after reading up on the Kel-Tec PMR-30. It's not out yet, but damn it looks nice.

What the ranch hand is, is a cut down version of a lever action rifle and sold as a pistol (similar to what you'd see in Zombieland)

I can't find a ton of information about it, however is something like this legal in Michigan to own, or would this technically be considered an SBR? It shoots .357, .44 Magnum, and .45 Colt respectively. If I'm not mistaken, since the manufacturer is selling it that short and as a pistol, it could in fact be owned, no? Sorry I'm not up on my gun laws when it comes to rifles.

its a remake of a mares leg...
thats all.
if it is a pistol then it is legal in MI
ill look into it and let you know

On a side note
I wouldnt count on it as a self defense gun I would use it for backpacking and protection against animals
carrying one of these would be like carrying a 10/22 only with a larger bullet.
pointless.

yes its classified as a pistol. the rossi is a lot cheaper then the JB custom`s
around the $500 range,supposed to come out spring of 2011
here is a holster for it

Here's a thread from leatherworker.net that shows a replica of the holster used in the show.
