Do they make it in a .308?

If so, is it a managable round to actually use?

I thought it would be nice to have it use the same round as my primary hunting rifle.

Thanks!

****OK went to the Thompson page and saw they don't do it in .308 and I am sure there is a good reason. Thanks!****

It all comes down to cup pressure. If you want a .308 platform, you are going to have to do it off an Encore platform.

Hmm thanks.
I did not realize they had that.

Honestly though, wouldnt this be too much to handle in a pistol?

I thought it would be a interesting thing to have a .308 pistol as that is all I use rifle wise for hunting but now am really starting to second guess myself here.
