I'm thinking about a lever action .357 for home defense and plinking. I've never fired a lever action, so I have a couple of questions:
1) Is it safe to leave a round in the chamber and let the hammer down? It seems like this would be the best way to have the rifle ready for HD. Sort of like "condition two" for a 1911.
2) Does anyone make a "Double Action" lever action so you don't have to remember to cock the hammer if one needs to use the rifle in a hurry?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
