Hefty but cozy in the rifle. Would like to shoot it from a revolver and see what it feels like. The pistol/rifle commonality is a compelling if not good idea, but I think I'd rather have a .45-70 or .30-30 in a long lever gun. If I have to use a lever gun against something it's usually better to have bigger. I had a problem with .38 Special cartridges in that they are a tad bit shorter than the .357's and cycling can sometimes be a problem. Least it was for me. I agree with Mohaveman re: the silly bolt/hammer safety.

FWIW, here's more discussion on the Winchester variety.

I enjoy having the common cartridge when going out to shoot. Having the lever action Rossi and a couple of wheel guns makes for a nice day at the range. I haven't had any issues with feeding of 38 rounds although I think there is a bit more fouling using the shorter cartridge, but that may be more a product of my cartridge selection.
