Deacon, if the D.C. Deal doesn't pan out, Kentucky Guns or budsgunshop.com, both in Kentucky, should work. Good luck.

I’ve bought 90% of my guns from KY Gun Co but right now they do not have it in stock per their website and they are not responding to inquiries. I prefer KYGunCo as they are only 30 miles from me and great to deal with. I ordered it from Bud’s online and the order sat there for a week in “in processing” mode and now their site says out of stock. I will contact Henry if Sportsman’s Warehouse doesn’t produce.

Henry New Original 45LC arrived today. Sportsman’s Warehouse came through as advertised. Ironically I received emails from both Bud’s Gun Shop and KY Gun Co saying they had the rifle available now. Now if this rain would just stop so I could get to the range. Thanks for all the help in picking a caliber.

Very jealous now as this is my "dream" gun!! Mine would be in .45 Colt, that is, if I could afford one!

Congrats on the new rifle. I have that in 45lc also and it shot great right out of the box. I never had to touch the sights.

Deacon, we're practically neighbors. I live in the Bardstown/Etown area. :). I have a Big Boy in 45 Colt, two of them, actually. One is a CCH receiver, and the other is the plain blue receiver. The 45 Colt is a fun caliber to load and shoot; I used my CCH to take a buck and a doe last fall.

The only thing I would say is, I'd feel shortchanged if I was your granddaughter. Henry vs Glock is not a fair trade. :)
