Henry Rifle Forums

I've kinda been lookin for another 357 revolver, but
I'm wanting a single action.
I have an original King Cobra.
A Cimarron, Uberti, or even another Vaquero would be nice.
A buddy in Texas recently picked a ss Vaquero for $400
Wish I could stumbled into a deal like that.

Those laser engraved logos on the grip look terrible and cheap.

Kinda like the rifle caliber side gates.
With Henry carved into it. Uck.

Wow! some Henry bashing like I've never seen before...
I don't think I'll become an owner of the revolvers, but I'm still a proud Henry owner.

I agree. Fortunately the 45 Colt CCH I got is just checkered. No "Henry" logo.
Now the 30-30 Large Frame does have "Henry" and some flower/viney things

What about this:

Did you read the description of the revolver? They called it a "J" frame= wrong. The J frame is the five shot Chief's special .38 the smallest S&W frame size made. The 29 is an N frame. I wonder what else they got wrong.

The Henry Big Boy revolvers look like they are roughly the same size as the Smith & Wesson K Frame revolvers. In other words, the perfect size for a revolver.

I meant the engraved Smith & Wesson the top says "N" frame but the list of specs say "J" frame. And look at the price. For just a little more than the MSRP of the Henry revolver, one can purchase that classy engraved .44 magnum. Don't get me wrong, I am a great fan of the H.R.A. rifles. I have two of them but to me they are going to have to step up their game and reduce the price before I can get excited about the new revolvers.

Travlin, I did not notice that type-o. But, I have seen such things on other sites as well. I posted it as a comparison about engraving. Vendors do it, not just Henry. Henry seems to be proud of its revolver and other products. And maybe, it may view it as a collector's item one day? I am not one for collecting firearms. So, the engraving does nothing for me. I buy firearms to shoot, not collect. I have not plans to buy a Henry revolver. But, who knows what the future holds?
