Personally...
I find that I can put a gloved hand in the lever loop of an 1886, 1894, 1895, or 1876 or Savage 99 but the Rossi M92 I have is just too small for use of any but the thinnest of gloves. An "expanded" loop, not a Rifleman type, could be useful.
Walter Mitty lives in those who get things such as the Mare's Leg, Rifleman lever loops, and such things. No problem with that but some things just aren't practical.
