I just recently found a Timberwolf 357 pump rifle. I love it. It is really quite amazing and has some interesting design features.
I do think that the pump action is faster and more natural for me than a lever action.
HOWEVER I have one BIG concern in regards to its potential use for self defense...
The Timberwolf (and also all the lightning clones) REQUIRE the action to be open in order to load the tube. By contrast the lever action rifles such as the the 92's & 94's are able to be topped off with the action closed on a chambered round ready to fire. So, not only does the lever action allow you to have a chambered round ready to fire while you are reloading but they are generally able to be topped off easier.
What do you all think about the importance of that?
