Yeah, don’t hold your breath for a semi auto.

That would be great. I kinda like the idea of an over/under, too. Maybe engraved, maybe CCH. A true "bird gun" in a Henry sort of way.

Couldn't find one in brass, but bet there is one out there.

Of course, I would love it if ANYBODY made a P-08 or P-38 in .22LR.
Stoeger Arms made a Luger styled .22 from about 1969-1985 and they are available. A friend of mine had one many years ago.
https://www.gunbroker.com/item/784367375
Walther also made a P-38 in .22 but you would have to do some internet digging to find details.
Thanks Mistered, and yes I knew about the Stoeger. I looked at a couple on GunBroker or some such site, and for some reason they didn't quite float my boat. I do have a real P-38 and a Legends P-08, so maybe I was looking for a real replica, rather than a clone? I was also worried about having jams, or any problems, and not having the support of the type we're used to seeing from Henry, at least.

Walther still makes a .22 PPK and believe me that is on my radar, as is the Bersa .380.

Those(P08/P38/PPK) and 911s are the only semi autos I like; maybe a browning or victory.................. :D

Edit to add: Wow, just did a search and pulled up one that sold; don't know for what but it's really nice.........

But I still have questions about parts availability and such. NOTHING bums me out faster than a gun that jams. Maybe that's why I don't even go there (semi autos).

Edit to add more: Sorry but the one pictured is a 9mm. It is a Stoeger, however.

Wow, that's a beauty. CCH, 30" barrel, choke tubes. Looks very clean.

Review I found when googling the Shockwave:

“When the Mossberg Shockwave was first introduced last year, I thought it looked like a completely useless gimmick. But now that I’ve run a few hundred shells through one, I would like to upgrade its status to mostly useless. It is now functionally a handgun with horrible ergonomics.”


With reviews like this, I bet Henry would be all over it! :mrgreen: Makes me want to rush out and buy one!

Although I do agree a short barrel .410 would be cool. Chiapa is now making their mares leg with a full stock (photo below), which to me might be useful. If Henry made one of those in .44 and or .410 I’d be interested. All it “wood” take is adding a full-size stock the the mares leg. Easy as pie. In areas where handgun carry isn’t legal, an ultra short Carbine would be a great bear carry gun. A really short break action .44/.410 combo would be an actual “survival rifle”, even if I’d really prefer more than a single shot of .44 in the event of a bear attack. Let me assure you, I was feeling SUPER comfortable with my SGC in .22 on opening day of hunting season this past Monday when the road I was walking with my Weimaraner was covered in grizzly crap!

I wish Henry would just build a few more of what they are offering right now - like a CCH 357mag Carbine....

"With reviews like this, I bet Henry would be all over it! :mrgreen: Makes me want to rush out and buy one! "


Seriously??? Mossberg (and Remington) have sold thousands upon thousands of the shock wave, so many in fact that they now also produce it in the original 12 and 20 and 410 ! Not saying it's for everyone but neither is a muzzle-loader, single-action revolver or Derringer. For THAT matter, who needs a single shot shotgun? Some are just fun to shoot, fit the ATV/snowmobile better, good for "housework" only or stuff under the truck/tractor seat.

I'm sure you can find the odd negative review of, sliced bread, nail clippers (not much good for anything else) by someone. Heck, I bet if you ask a 5 year old boy, "girls are icky " would be his review.

If I was worried about various reviews of Henry's, "stupid, awkward, cheap, loading tube instead of the far superior side gate loaders", and "pot-metal actions", "painted on finishes".... I never would have bought my first Henry (with it's "antiquated" lever action).

For situations like you describe (non hunting/home defense) how often do you even need a fast followup shot?

I think a cheap (relatively) single would be ideal for that.
