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.
