I handled these and find them too heavy for single shots in any handgun calibers or 30/30. Other than a single shot for the sake of a single shot, there is no advantage in light or handy to offset the loss of fire power. They would guess it might make a fine 45/70, if that is an option, (or 405 or 444 maybe or big magnums). I see no reason to switch from a Marlin or M92/94 lever for a Henry. The Henry with a scope, might as well just get a light bolt action carbine. They look ok, FWIW.
