Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Henry Revolvers

Hickok45 panned the looks of the Rhino. Can't wait to see his reaction to the new Henry revolvers.

I like my Big Boy .45 Colt…….interested in seeing how the revolvers perform……but they ain’t gonna win any beauty contests.

Exactly. Everything they make seems to have some weird or “clunky” design aesthetic, to it. Don’t know why. It’s like they never back away from their design about 10 feet, and ask themselves, “What does this look like as a fully assembled firearm??”.

I resepect what they’re trying to do, and the owner’s heart seems to be in the right place, but this firearm would be more “acceptable” as a $300 22lr, than a nearly $1000 .357.

Maybe some mother-of-pearl grips and a gold-plated cylinder would give the gun a sufficient anount of “pimp cred”.

I think an 1875 Remington knockoff, or perhaps a Colt Woodsman clone, would have been a better choice. Henry needs to learn how to design guns that don’t look like toy guns.

They will be a POS just like their rifles

What the?

They make a replica of the original Henry rifle that's nice.

I just don’t get anything Henry - sorry just can’t imagine spending nearly a K on one of these or paying the price people are for their levers. I know they are selling but I just don’t understand it. Maybe around $300 - and that’s a big MAYBE they would make sense but even then I just couldn’t do it.

That said I’m glad they are doing well and wish them nothing but the best but I’ll spend my $$ elsewhere.

Who is making or selling inexpensive lever guns?

I'd much rather have seen them in 45 colt especially with a lanyard ring kinda like a 1917. Or use the birdshead grip on a single action in .357 and 44 special along with the 45 version. I won't be buying them for 900 bills.

They should stick to levers and pumps. They seem to be few and far between anymore.

As a market entry offering, the price is two or three times what it would take to suck money out of my wallet.

Henry should have studied the Wrangler chapter of the Ruger playbook.

Henry needs some gun guys bad. Take the Long Ranger. That’s a pretty cool rifle. But wouldn’t you think that a lever action made for high pressure cartridges and scope use would at least have the option of a pistol grip stock? I mean it doesn’t even come with sights. You’re going to use a scope and need a higher comb. A pistol grip would allow you to do that without having a funky looking stock. Granted, it’s a matter of taste but the point is valid. And it seems like actual gun guys would know that.

Henry did offer one version the 308 LR with irons and a 20" barrel, but you don't see them for sale often. If they offered it in 358, I'd be severely tempted.

I can live with the looks of there long guns ,but these pistols just plain Suck.

That thing could never, ever shoot good enough to make up for the ugly

Oh man, I have two Henry rifles[.357 and .45 Colt], I'm good with those. That's all that counts. Buuut, those Henry revolvers? Ain't happening in my world.
Have two Italian replicas in .45 Colt that cost less than half the price. And look a damn sight better than those clunkers. Geez!

Those guns at that price make the nickel-plated 10-4 I just got (with a Tyler T-grip) seem like an absolute bargain.

Pumps have not been well received in our area.

That just might work. 😀

Thats the best they could do? Wow, I would not want to take one of those even if it was given to me. Not good.
