I don't own a Lever in 45 Colt. I have a Rossi 24" octagonal barrel in .357mag and a Marlin1894 .44 mag 20" barrel. Despite all the controvertsey around Marlin's build quality right now my 2 year old Marlin is a more refined Rifle than my Rossi, externally anyhow it is better finished but I would not call the Rossi poorly finished, just not flashy.

The Rossi however is my go to Rifle, it just handles better, is slicker than all get and is very accurate. I do like the longer barrel and the balance it affords. In my neck of the woods the Rossi is not offered with a 16" barrel in 45 Colt, only in 20" and 24", either would be very Handy as a companion Firearm to your Pistol
