My wife and I are warming up to purchasing a few firearms as part of a deleted -- <Sam>-hits-the-fan kit, including a 12g shotgun for me, and some kind of rifle/carbine for her.
We live in Los Angeles (technically just outside of LA), so engagement ranges would never be very long, 100 yards should be more then sufficient.
I'm thinking a 44 semi-auto carbine would suit our needs well, letting her put a heavy round on target with better precision then a load of 20 guage buckshot, and less kick then a 44mag revolver.
Any internet research I do, however, keeps turning up references to carbines that aren't in production anymore, or lever/bolt action weapons.
Can anyone suggest a good .44mag carbine that's currently in production to serve as a starting place for our research?
Naturally we'll experiment with some various weapons and calibers before we buy, but it would be good to know a bit about the market before we start.
Thanks!
