Henry Revolver!?
I was just on HRAs website looking for .35 Remington offerings (to prove to obstinate Marlin owners that it is truly an obscure caliber) and saw that Henry is now making a .357 Magnum wheel gun! How long has this madness been going on? It’s not the prettiest revolver I’ve ever seen, but it’s pretty dang cool that they are making one!

Just saw this. Kinda spendy, but good luck to them for jumping into the revolver market.

Re: Henry Revolver!?
Disappointed that Henry went with a double action instead of a single action. I think a single action would be a much more traditional match for a lever gun and maybe less expensive, too, not to mention there is a real shortage of US made single actions on the market these days. Plenty of DAs out there. Oh, well, just my opinion, of course. Each to their own. Hope it works out for Henry, regardless.

Looks like a cross between a Charter Arms and a Heritage..........Aesthetics are terrible. The design people could have done a lot better.

Re: Henry Revolver!?
while a single action would be more traditional, I do prefer a double action .... the fact that "A traditional revolver sight picture is achieved with a fixed notch cut directly into the frame." I find it a bit unique "that a ramped blade front sight, of which three sizes are included for regulating the point of aim to match the point of impact." .... the one handgun I don't have but would like to is a 357 / 38 revolver .... its price is on par with a stainless 7-shot4" Ruger GP100 which puts it in good company .... the Ruger does have an adjustable rear sight which is one important, to me, feature

Re: Henry Revolver!?
I can certainly understand the more traditional thinking. I do however kinda like it. It IS a bit expensive though. Tough market to jump into.North Country Gal wrote: ↑Thu Apr 13, 2023 10:34 amDisappointed that Henry went with a double action instead of a single action.

Re: Henry Revolver!?
I guess they had the spare change to jump into a new product. Sometimes the risk pays off, sometimes it don't. I'll stick with my these. Too old to be buying expensive new revolvers anyway.

Re: Henry Revolver!?
Not impressed. Henry is becoming just another gun manufacturer.
