Lever rifle for SD

[BobM]

Those Henrys are sweet. That's the one action/type shotgun I don't have. But you know I want one. Err, 4.

Hah, would never have guessed?

I think @Bassbob should change his name to BuckShotBob...

I have friends that to this day call me Omar. That's a " The Wire" reference.

I'm pretty sure @TEXASforLIFE has a really nice modern lever gun with an MLOK rail.

Maybe he can post a pic.

Ok that's fair but then what about the tactical assault hotdog?

I've upgraded to the chili dogs

That was a $100 raffle ticket pay off.

Wow that's a pretty nice raffle prize.

And this was also the assault weapon of it's time but it doesn't make it relevant by today's standards!

The crossbow is way too outdated for me that's why I only carry my tactical assault hot dog for self defense.....

Just make sure that those accessories aren't banned in your state or you will be in trouble....

I've got a Winchester 94 also that I really haven't shot too much but I do enjoy shooting. This is a top eject model.

I have a Henry in a 22 magnum smooth as silk

Lever guns ARE tacti-cool!

Remember there is no such thing as a “Assault Weapon” that’s a anti-gun propaganda term…..

That gun reminds me of a '32 Deuce Coupe riding on modern 22" wheels.

Texas for life that is one bad ass mommy jam

For a very low cost optic (maybe $50) it has held up well for the last 300 rounds considering the recoil.

I've always thought a lever action .357 would be the best alternative to a semi-auto like my Saint. It's great for most things a gun might be used for. And if I ever lost my Saint in a boating accident, I could probably still retain the lever gun. So antiquated. So harmless.

I've got a Marlin 1894 in .44 Mag., a full-size Henry Big Boy, and a Big Boy Carbine, both in .357 Mag. I'm confident that any of them could be effective for self defense, if necessary. Buckshot from a 12 gauge is the best fight stopper in my home, but I assume that a .44 Magnum round from a rifle-length barrel would be an adequate substitute at home-defense distances. I'd still prefer to use a shotgun, but I can work my lever-actions almost as well as a pump, and I doubt many bad guys can outlast the 10-shot capacity in the rifles (or 7 in the carbine).

I do agree with the other posters who wonder why self-defense applications have to be considered for every type of firearm. Golf Clubs can also be used for self-defense, but I highly doubt that Golf Digest gives a self-defense score to any of the clubs they review.
