Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry
Big Boy Revolver
Big Boy Revolver
Is there anyone out there that would love to see this in .44 SP?
I know the .357 Mag is a formidable round but a Henry just screams .44SP!
Thoughts?

NO. I can't pass the ugly. Or the price.........For the same price you can get a Smith or Ruger. They are where my .44 spl's are.

Re: Big Boy Revolver
I won't be buying the Henry, but I would like to see Henry offer a 44 Special version simply because I would like to see the 44 Special become more popular. It's a great round, but right now I can find 44 mag much easier in our area and when I do find 44 Special, it's typically just in cowboy loads and not much cheaper than 44 mag.

It needs to be single action

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.......

Re: Big Boy Revolver
As "cowboy" as Henry can be, I have no idea why they didn't make one that looked like a Colt or a Ruger Vaquero, for just two examples.

They appear to me to be like a 1950-60's 'Mayberry' police pistol. Not Cowboy western at all.

Re: Big Boy Revolver
Well, after reading t(e 44 issues with rifles I’d say the revolver would be a tall order.

Re: Big Boy Revolver
I fail to understand why this "single action" idea keeps coming up. I own several revolvers including a Colt S.A.A. 45. If I had to keep just one it would be one of the double action revolvers with the swing out cylinder that I can safely carry six rounds in and doesn't take forever to reload. H.R.A. is not stupid when it comes to marketing. A double action will sell a lot more than a single action. They want the most return for their great investment in design and tooling for a new product.

Travelin. I agree with your double action thoughts but its all about the cowboy idea. Doc Holiday didnt carry no S&W or a Colt.
