I haven't noticed a photos forum for pistols/revolvers owned by Henry Rifle Forum members.
The idea is to use only pictures of pistols you ACTUALLY OWN and ACTUALLY USE. Not some one-off hand made gold plated museum piece made for the billionaire-psycho-collector-gun-market, that someone just cut and pasts from an internet "dreamgun" list.


My top 5 pistols...


1) Henry 22 Mare's Leg, with Millet adjustable red-dot for varmints and plinking
Image

1) Beretta 86 Cheetah 380, 4.25' tip barrel w/Wilson trigger...for nightstand and occasional show-off carry
Image

1) Beretta 21 Bobcat...for beach, bowling, bicycle and backup.
Image

1) Ruger MKIII 8.5" Hunter, custom rosewood target grips, tricked internals...for very quickly poking holes in paper at great distances.
Image

5) 1) Bersa CC 380, custom extended mag-fitted grips, 4lb sa/da jiggered trigger, no mag lock...for car carry,

Ok...I know they're ALL listed as "number one" :roll:
But, Hey...it was hard enough to pick my top 5 never mind choosing one over the other.

You have some beauties, and excellent photography. Your Bersa is the first I have seen of that model in stainless. And the custom grips look great.

Hands down these are my two favorites.
Mare's Leg, and Uberti Stallion.

Check out the threads here: Board index ‹Other Firearms ‹handguns
There are several posts by Henry Folk that show off their pistols/revolvers. :)

we own several revolvers/pistols but the one I shoot 99.9% of the time over the last few decades is our Ruger Redhawk 44 mag .... its modifications include custom grips, a spring trigger change, and being Mag-Na-Ported .... as can be seen in the targets below, she's very accurate with our hand loaded practice ammo .... two of the targets shown below are with hunting loads .... the first is with our hand loads .... the second (wider group) was using Federal 240 grain factory ammo .... disclaimer, the Federals were found in the bottom of a drawer, had been there for many years

kind words appreciated .... as a full disclaimer, all of the shooting was done with me seated at a bench rest where the 44 was supported on sandbags .... with the AimPoint, all I had to do is put the red dot where I wanted the bullet to go and squeeze the trigger .... even the Federals (for which it isn't sighted in) would have taken care of a deer, boar, or black bear

Thanks to all for the good shooting and target photos. If I could just not work all the time and get to the range maybe some powder would get burned in one of the handguns around here.
