I got that email to, the rifle holds a few more rounds the carbines a bit shorter. Personal choice you can't go wrong with either

for hunting from a stand or shooting on a range, I'd go with a rifle
for carrying while hunting when walking through the woods, thickets, hills, marshes, etc, I'd go with a carbine

Rifle, I don’t care for the lever on the carbine.

The standard lever will swap on!

I wonder when they will be available at dealers given the current gun supply issues?

LGS closed till Wednesday. I will have to decide which I want if they can actually order one. I am leaning toward the carbine. Is there any accuracy difference?

You can't go wrong with either one, but for me a rifle fits me just fine.

Now if they'd just make the 357 AW in a carbine, I'd sell a kidney !

Probably a bit. That's why I chose the rifle. Not to mention , a small amount of muzzle velocity.

Aha! Our chief enabler at work! However, that IS the correct answer.

I was just at the LGS and thought about that. However I did not go inside and came home to do a little more homework.

I called LGS today, the frustrated clerk said "OMG no we can't order it yet" seems they're being inundated with calls and walk-in inquiries.. well EXCUSE ME for asking a gun store about guns, should I have called Victoria secret instead ?
