Greetings from the great state of Iowa

Post by lakewoodguy » Mon Apr 01, 2019 9:12 am

Hello all,
As an owner of a couple of .357 Dan Wesson revolvers and a S&W Model 52-1 .38 target pistol, I was enamored by the BBB in the glass case at the local Walmart. I was half kidding when I suggested to my DW that it would be a nice addition to the .38/.357 family at home. Since I had recently retired, she said "buy it, consider it your retirement gift."
AHA! It worked!
Since then I have installed a 30MM red dot on it. Currently it is sighted in at 50 yards. Groups are respectable but I know could be tighter with a good scope. The gun operates great with a decent trigger pull, the only issue would be that it is harder than I would like to lock the tube in.

Welcome, congrats on retirement and your new Henry! LOTS of 357 Henry owners here, and also a growing number who are pairing them with 357 revolvers, so glad to see you already a step ahead!

Look forward to hearing more from you and your range reports.

Welcome from Nebraska! A couple of us were just recently wondering why we didn't have anybody from Iowa. Glad you joined us.

I'm one of those guys that paired 357 rifle and pistol too. The steel carbine and a Ruger SP101.

Enjoy your shooting and let us know how it goes for you.

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Welcome! If the tube continues to be a problem, ask for help from the forum. Not an uncommon problem.

Welcome from Eastern NC! I have the same rifle and the same issue with the mag tube being very tight. Other than that, I love it!
