Hi All,
My father has hijacked the Win M94 30-30 I recieved as a Christmas present many years ago as a house gun. My parents live in a remote area but unfortunately crime has found its way there. I have offerered a few handguns and a shotgun but he has gravitated to the lever rifle. The other day I saw a Browning (Japan) model 92 in .44 in a gun store at a not to bad price, and thought perhaps it would be a better house gun. Mainly thinking of recoil with the Cor-Bon defensive ammo as opposed to the 30-30 and also over-penetration. The 30-30 has already shown itself capable against feral dogs, a rabid skunk,and has been used to "ask" midnight visitors to depart.
What do you all think of the .44 lever action as a home defense gun?
