Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Thoughts on lever actions in 38/357?
So this itch to get a lever gun is not going away.
What are your experiances with lever guns in 38/357? I would like one with a side gate. The new Marlins look great ,but not a fan of the stainess look on a lever gun.
Something about a cowboy assault rifle that is just very appealing...
Easy shooting, light recoil, reliable.
Henry in .357.
I love mine. As stated already, low recoil even with the heaviest magnum loads and a plain joy to shoot. You won?t be disappointed.
In before Kazoo jumps in with his suppressed .357 lever gun.

which one? i have 3 of them.Originally Posted by Irving
If i was interested in another caliber in a lever, to the collection. I'd do a 44 suppressed lever.
ETA: if you reload. You can make some pfft quiet as 22 subsonic, 38's.

"when you're happy you enjoy the melody but, when you're broken you understand the lyrics".
I have a Rossi 92 in .357, one of my favorite woods guns.
Light a fire for a man, and he'll be warm for a day, light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life...
Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
Same here. My '92 is sweet.
Never complain; never explain.
My Feedback
Generally, I'm not a fan of rifles in handgun calibers. All the disadvantages of a rifle combined with all the disadvantages of a handgun.
But in lever guns... Yeah, I love 'em. Like TFOGGER I have the Rossi in .357, short barrel, big loop, saddle ring, etc... Nice, smooth action and works great. My two real passions are the Henry rifles I have in .22WMR and the big bore Marlins in .45-70 and .450. Also have a couple of Winchesters in .30-30 and .44Mag just to celebrate the whole diversity thing. I gotta say I do love the .44Mag in a lever gun.
Lever guns are pretty hard not to like.
Scratch that itch.

Don't wanna get shot by the police?
"Stop Resisting Arrest!"
Just more food for thought.
Many years ago I did some chronograph stuff with pistol calibers in longer barrels and some of it was surprising how much more velocity you get out of a handgun round in a sixteen inch barrel compared to a five inch barrel.
The magnums definitely take a step up fired from a rifle length barrel.
Liberals never met a slippery slope they didn't grease.

I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.
