Certainly a beautiful and very capable rifle. Depending on whether or not you are in a neighborhood with homes close by or have family members in multiple rooms I might suggest something with less penetration power in the event a miss goes through a wall potentially. I use a 410 shotgun with turkey loads, buck and slugs usually. I do sleep next to a 1911 which seems to promote sweet dreams.
That's what I was thinking. A 44 mag HP is no joke and even if you miss the loud noise and muzzle flash would make a BG cry and wet them self, witch gives you the tactical advantage.I would say yes, why not. I damn sure would not want to be on the business end of it!
I'm an empty nester out in ranch country. No worries for over penetration.You do realize that a 1911, buckshot, and slugs will penetrate just as much 44?
You should be aware of a gun's penetrative power, but anything that will stop a bad guy will penetrate several walls. This just means you have to do some good planning.
I don't see why not. Looks beautiful, btw.
PS, do the 44 specials feed as reliably as the 44 mags?
I would not want to be on the wrong end of it.

i use a shot gun for home defense,wide area of coverage and can control shot pattern,and distance (20 gauge) if i need more horses i load deer slugs.if i had my druthers i would have a twice barrel 12 gauge. that lever gun aint nothing but handsome.
