Like I said my wife isn't comfortable with my shotgunyeah I was looking at something bigger than a 9mm. The .45 ACP is the one I'm leaning towards..357 would be a good choice if there had to be one.I have two levers in pistol caliber, both Uberti, both in .357, both carbines. One is 1892 model, the other is 1873.
Both are light, easy to handle tack-hammers (even with my middlin' marksmanship) with negligible recoil.
I am slightly more partial to the 1873 ... the straight-in feed is less likely to jam than the feed up 1892.
Home defense? Just a thought, you might not want a round that passes through walls into room where there might be family you don't want to shoot.
A shotgun alleviates some of that risk.
