Slide-action rifles have put meat in the pots of American families for a long time. Colt beat the competition to the punch in 1885 with its Lightning magazine rifle in three action lengths: short for the .22 Short and .22 Long rimfire cartridges; medium for the .32-20 Win., .38-40 Win. and .44-40 Win.; and long for cartridges ranging in power from the .38-56 Win. to the .50-95 Express. Lightning production ended at Colt around 1904.

When the Bren Ten pistol in 10mm Auto was introduced by Dornaus & Dixon in 1983, it was highly promoted as ideal for defensive carry against two-legged assailants.
