I saw a set up used on single point sling shotgun where a velcro strape was used to secured it to the belt. Something like this could be used in a drop leg fashion.
Just thinking out loud.

I have a serious phobia of being alone.
I take solace in military tactics because they emphasize teamwork and working with others.

I ordered the Chiappa version of this last August... and am still waiting.

It's a take-down - two pieces, each 12'" inches long, so its pretty versatile, if, for instance, you want to fly to Whitehorse, prior to a trip further north. Or if you are driving to Alaska.
But it's more than double the price of the Puma being discussed here.
My question is regarding the quality: can anyone, from personal experiance, talk about the quality of Chiappa lever guns, vs. Puma?
I should say that I use a Puma .357 lever gun for plinking, and the action has brought me nothing but tears. It regularly jambs when feeding, despite having been smithed.
Which is in no way meant to cast aspersions at the Mare's Leg in question; I understand that my own $500 Puma carries a risk commensurate with the price.
But does the $1600 Chiappa avoid this risk???

The only thing I've read online about the Chiappa's is they are not twice the gun....nicer wood, casehardened but some people have been disappointed by the fit and finish for the price.
Who did the smith work on your .357, and what did they say about the problem?
I ordered a Chiappa Mares leg in 45 colt and it arrived, Ive owned probably 6 pumas and this Chiappa "thing" was not nearly as nice, it was new in box and ever single screw head had been half stripped and man handled, it was loose and wouldnt feed or chamber 45 colt factory loads, there was a tremendous amount of side to side lever play and the stock had slippery varnish on it, not , in my opinion, half the gun of my pumas. I wouldnt ever even consider one againI ordered the Chiappa version of this last August... and am still waiting.

One of the originals
The problem was described as one of poor finish, and this was ameliorated by filing and polishing, and indeed, the action was far smoother afterwards, and the original poor feeding symptoms no longer existed. What arose were other, entirely new poor feeding symptoms.

Holy smokes,
Look at this.

Well what are you going to do with it?now, the question is: .357 mag vs .44 mag

Is the trail judge legal in the USA ?
From what I understand it is because of the rifled barrel.
Before all else, be armed.
