The Chiappa 1892 Mare’s Leg Take Down is a lever-action pistol chambered in .45 Long Colt with a 12-inch barrel and a take-down design (brand part no. 920.182). It shortens the classic 1892 lever action into a compact handgun format with a pistol-grip walnut stock and a color case hardened receiver. The take-down design lets the pistol come apart for transport, and a flip-up rear sight is adjustable for elevation and windage. It feeds from a five-round tube magazine, and with a 24-inch overall length it is very handy. It suits a shooter who wants a distinctive Chiappa Firearms lever-action handgun in a classic cartridge.
