GFK, I have an older Rossi revolver. Says Amadeo Rossi, I have no idea how old it is.
It's a da/sa 22 lr. It shoots fine and I have no idea how many rounds I've put through it.

Wow... all it needs is a S&W logo on the side! Even a pinned barrel too!

That big boy is one clunky looking revolver.

Looks like it was built to last. Hopefully, I will get many years out of this one also.

I've had the Big Boy Revolver for about a month now and I'm completely happy with it. It's solidly built, shoots where I aim it and the profile is small enough to where I can carry it every day in a custom-built Simply Rugged holster.

I wasn't looking for another single-action that looks like an 1873 Colt – I have plenty that either are or closely resemble those. The Henry is a tool that's well-suited for the job I need it to do, looks be damned.

Yep, shooting is more important than looks!

I have S&W's and a Ruger. The fact that I think they're good looking is just a bonus. MOST important is that they do their job. I won't be entering them in any beauty contests. Besides, looks are in the eye of the beholder. The Henry is not bad looking IMO. I don't think a threat, or a paper target gives a dang what your gun looks like...I don't. Just be well made, reliable and shoot straight thank you.
