I would love to buy a .357 levergun to compliment my revolvers. I want something that could be packed small, with a good finish. I have a few questions for you:
1. I want something that can be broken down, like the "Copilot". Are there any factory takedown leverguns in .357? How long do they take to assemble quickly?
2. What is the ideal barrel length for .357 when factoring in concealability, magazine capacity, and ballistics? 16-18"?
3. Are there are manufacturers that make such a beast in a fairly corrosion resistant finish like stainless, or is my best bet carbon steel with either an aftermarket hard chrome or spray and bake over parkerizing?
4. Is this a reasonable 200yd. self defense weapon?
