Quick video of the oldest daughter (Kimber) going to town on the steel plates with her Marlin Mountie lever action .22

I can do a link, don't know how to directly embed a video. If someone does, I would appreciate it. Ringing the steel with a lever gun puts a big smile on her face.
Watching her do it with a lever action puts a bigger one on mine.
There are endless debates on lots of things that are well-settled; that’s because being dumb isn’t punished by natural predators. Look at the guy from the first Iron Man movie and his theory of 1 x 1 = 2. If he was a zebra, he’d be bones on the savannah.
A revolver for home defense only make sense for (1) guns that will never ever see an ounce of preventative maintenance during a lifetime of sedentary sock drawer duty, (2) people who by some law or legal regime are bound to own a specific revolver for that purpose, and (3) degenerates who will happily sacrifice a more generally useful firearm in order to be a revolver guy.
It’s not even in the same discussion as Condition 0/1 v. Condition 3, because living situations at home are wildly different than on-body carry. Not everyone has the gun on a nightstand. They can be in the nightstand, in a biometric or simplex safe, etc. The urgency of potential one-handed utility isn’t really a thing unless you’re sleeping on a couch by the front door.
Well, you may be a man. You may be a leprechaun. Only one thing’s for sure… you’re in the wrong basement.
