The Chiappa 1892 L.A. Mare’s Leg pistol in .44-40 Winchester (brand part no. 920.292) is a large-format handgun built on Chiappa’s 1892-pattern lever action, cut down to a 12-inch barrel with no shoulder stock so it’s classified and shipped as a pistol rather than a rifle. Chiappa Firearms finishes the receiver in color case hardened steel for a distinctive Old West look, and the pistol feeds from a 5+1-round tubular magazine under the barrel. Among lever-action platforms listed in the lever-action rifles category (despite being a pistol, not a rifle), the Mare’s Leg favors shooters who want a novel, TV-inspired large-format handgun in a classic Old West cartridge.
