If the Lever is pistol caliber, then a matching S&W revolver; I just enjoy doing it this way.

For "rifle" calibers, then whatever handigun is available - likely a Smith wheelgun or Hi Power or 1911/45.

Rossi makes M92s sold under a couple of brand names, like Puma and EMF. My EMF was tuned by Steve (www.stevesgunz.com) and iit is great. When I do my part, it gives me 2" groups at 50 yards, off the bench.

These are stronger than the Marlins or Winchester M94s.
