Does anyone use a single action revolver for home defense?

I suppose you can use a lever rifle as your tactical HD carbine.

A 20 round mag is going to make a mess of your house.

Ever see a magazine have diarrhea? Used to feed my M-11/9's Winchester white box, steady diet.....put in some S&B and the zytel split and it was like a geyser of brass! Probably a coincidence!

I sometimes carry a 38 special derringer. That is single action like the naa 22 revolvers I also carry. Mine won't stand in for a war hammer like yours will. If your comfortable with it is what counts. Like the other post, the trigger pull is light or are you planning on fanning?

Not to derail the thread, but the weapon you choose for home defense should be based on the role it is to fill.

Depending on what you need a firearm to do, then plan your choice accordingly.

Mine is only a single shot, but it packs a wallop!

Exactly, if the time comes when I seriously feel I need an AR with multiple mags to defend my family inside our home then that's what I'll stage. In the meantime I personally feel that a six shot revolver is plenty enough to do the job.

Well done. You have all the tools you need for various threat levels, and you've selected the appropriate one for the probables regarding you're current situational assessment.
