I briefly owned an Uzi Carbine, in the early Eighties, and liked it. Its being my second or third firearm purchase indicated that I never had any prejudice against the “pistol-caliber carbine,” but I did not have an actual handgun/rifle, same-cartridge combination until about 25 years later, when I added a pair of then-rare Marlin 1894 .357 lever rifles, one standard, and one with the longer, octagonal barrel. Those Marlins were so rough, inside, however, I did not like them, and kept them rather briefly, as there was plenty of demand for pre-owned .357 Marlins.
Recently, I acquired a Browning/Miroku 92, and a Ruger No. 1, both .357 Mag, and we bought his-and-hers Winchester 94AE .45 Colt Trappers, so, I am revisiting the combo concept. Shooting them, however, is another matter, as I had not yet starting accumulating much .45 Colt and .357 ammo, before the 2020 panic/shortages started.
My wife has liked the concept of a matching-cartridge lever rifle more than I have. Her often-jammed Rossi 1892 was a disappointment, being only useful as a single-shot, but her stainless steel Marlin 1894 is well-liked.
