So, what is a PPC?
Are 357 or 44 mag lever actions considered PPC?
Does a PPC need to be fully semi automatic?
Do they need to be fed from pistol magazine?
Is there even an official defention?
Edit: I meant to type PCC, not PPC.
Next thing someone contacts the CFP/CFP out of misguided good intentions to clarify this burning question and a couple of years later they get OIC-ed.
I have a number of lever actions in .357. .44 mag & .45 Colt. 19" and under barrels are carbines, 20" and above are short rifles according to the manufacturer of those rifles. My .44 magnum.

they make 45/70 in revolvers ........ but my self I would say " I'm Good ... I will watch you shoot it"
End of the day, you may have the best PCC right there. Very nice. Certainly more useful while hunting than a 9mm, and has enough capacity for defense. FYI Garand, and you may know this, but Skinner Sights sells an excellent take down case for your PCC.
The hangup seems simply to be the current definition of the word pistol.
Then factor in the current trend with pistol calibre carbines, mostly in 9mm using common semi auto hand gun magazines.
It's easy to see why someone might decide that a pistol caliber tube fed lever action is not a PCC in a micro world view sort of way.
then ther is the def. of 'carbine'
which seems more and more to mean a short semi-auto often-black rifle
Like the RCMP not carrying an assault rifle but they carry a police carbine
anyone ever witness a lever gun in any 3-gun match, besides CAS?
Further more, I have a Ruger 96/44, only ever offered in one barrel length, so no rifle vs carbine designation
It has a rather short barrel, but is it a carbine?
hmmm
