Greetings from Brazil! Just a little bit of context: I am saving money for my first handgun. Due to firearms surcharge promoted by years of a leftist government and disarmament laws adopted by my country, it is very difficult and expensive for a citizen to purchase firearms and practice in the range. So my doubt is: Knowing that semi auto pistols are far more expensive than double action and single revolvers in Brazil, would you recommend single action revolvers for home defense? Thank you all and sorry for my bad English.

Looking to get into cowboy action shooting and I would like to buy a single action revolver in .357mag/.38 SPL. I am looking for a deal as I am on a budget. Really hoping for something fairly local (Lexington, SC). If it has any modifications already made to it, that is a plus. Thanks so much! -Max

I'd like some advice. I am interested in buying a lever action rifle and single action revolver (ideally in the same caliber, but not required). I'm a Marine and have a lot of experience with semi-automatics, but little experience with revolvers or lever action rifles. I primarily want them for novelty and fun shooting, which makes me think I should get a pistol caliber such as 357 or 45 LC 1873 or 1892 Winchester. I have no experience with these types of guns, so I don't know what else they are well suited for besides Cowboy Action Shooting, which I'd enjoy getting into someday. So essentially I'm wondering (to figure out which brand/caliber would be best): 1. Which is better between the 1873 and 1892? I've heard that the 1873 has a smoother action, and the 1892 has a stronger action (Although I admit I don't really understand what that means). 2. If I want to use the rifle for hunting, would the 30-30 caliber 1894 be better? 3. For the 1892, is the Chiappa Alaskan Takedown better or worse than the Winchester? 4. Rifle vs carbine vs musket argument? (Picture of musket attached) 5. For the pistol, which is better between Ruger Vaquero and Uberti? Or is there a better one than those? 6. Do Cowboy Action Shooters shoot a lower caliber so they can shoot faster and more accurately? (Such as using a 357 pistol with 38 special rounds in it). Or do they typically go 45 LC or 44-40 for authenticity?
