My exposure to 45 carbines is limited to the Marlin Camp 45 that I own. Shortly after buying it the hammer strut bridge broke and it took me some time to find a new one because this weapon has been out of production for some time.

Now that I'm firing it again I'm really starting to like it. It handles very well and is surprisingly accurate even with my lead SWC reloads (the Marlin micro groove barrel has a rep for not liking lead bullets). I like it so much I'm looking for a Camp 9 to purchase.
