In these hunter's hands they were deadly on game. These hunters wanted a plate full of squirrels and gravy not an heirloom stowed in a bedroom closet to avoid getting scratches or rained on. These guns were most always handy and in reach if needed quickly. They were not worth much to others but priceless to the younger generations of the family years later. They weren't safe queens. They were in the woods on cool October mornings when real memories were being made by families and hunting buddies.
I believe the new single barrel break action shotguns will have to be at a very competitive price point to enjoy continued strong sales once the initial hoopla of their arrival subsides. I am excited myself and hope we again have a quality made in the USA single shot shotgun that will have strong sales for many years.
Very well said and I agree.

Good point about the pricing, jstraw. Around here, you can find a ton of those single shots in all gauges, in decent condition and at reasonable prices in the pawn stores.

I don't remember missing a single clay and everyone was amazed. Then someone got the bright idea of throwing up two clays at a time. I managed to shoot the first one, work the bolt and then nail the other one.

At the end of the session all of the expensive big bores were leaning against the fence and the guys were taking turns with my humble little .410. There were several true believers of the ability of a .410 made that day.

I will be waiting for a sale price on the new Henry .410 lever. Sounds like it might also be an ideal home defense weapon and not penetrate neighbors walls.
Had a friend out here years ago squirrel hunting with a .410. I was VERY impressed. As i recall, the pellets didn't penetrate the meat; no damage at all.

I had a .410/.22LR over and under when I was a kid. Don't know who made it but I wish I still had it. I think a .410/.22WMR would be a better combo though.

Most of my .410 hunting was for squirrels. I lived I upstate NY and there were huge squirrel nests in the trees. The fall change of the maple tree colors was awesome.

My hunting buddy had a Mossberg bolt-action .22 and I would have him shoot a tree branch near a squirrel nest. That would make the squirrels scurry off in every direction and I'd be waiting with my trusty .410 and pick them off as they jumped from tree to tree. At the end of the day we'd split the take.

My dream gun in .410 was the Winchester model-42 pump.

The only .22/.410 O/U guns I knew if in the fifties were made by Savage.

Mine was more of a traditional look. Wouldn't mind having that firearm if it was made by Henry. I'm not a big Chiappa fan as most of their business is making firearm props for television and movies.

Is there a picture of the shotgun coming out soon?

I did not see one on the HENRY website with their other firearms.

We are very interested in the HENRY shotgun.

Thank you.
