Can you folks help me understand the uses and attraction of pistol-caliber rifles? What dictates the choice of a common pistol cartridge for a rifle over a higher velocity cartridge? Am I right that in the post-Civil War West it was fairly common to carry a pistol and rifle shooting the same cartridge? That would have been convenient, but it was also before the modern high velocity cartridges were invented. What’s up now?
