Default 9mm pump or lever rifle

hey all new to this forum and am an ipsc member in australia.

due to our very restrictive legislation over here we cannot use rifles for our 3 gun matches in WA as most ranges are only pistol certified.

does anyone know of a 9mm rifle that is either pump action or lever as we can license those here

The only 9mm rifles that I am aware of are all semi-auto. They do make pumps in several of the pistol cartridges (copies of the old Colt Lightning) but from all I hear they are not really all that reliable. Your best bet is probably going to be to get a lever in 357, 44 or 45.

Try Google using 9mm destroyer carbine. You'll get lots of hits.

3 gun is a speed contest. Bolts are pretty slow. That's probably why he wants a pump or lever.
