I just realized this is the second time that you’ve started a thread on Henry making a semi auto 9mm Carbine. You must REALLY want one. There is this company called Ruger that makes one. You might like it!
SGC .22 LR Stripped and oiled up
BBSC .357 w Skinner Express & Patridge
BBSC .44 Magnum with Skinners
Marlin 1895GS .45-70 w RPP Cloverleaf
Marlin 336BL .30-30 w Skinner LoPro 2 and Sig 2-7x

Something along the lines of the old marlin camp carbine would be a better fit with their product lines.

Yes there is - and it would be a tough act to follow!

An AR-7 in 9mm could be an option.
Jan from The Netherlands
- Henry "Small Game" .22lr
- A few CZ rifles and a pistol
- Uberti Cattleman revolver
- Two Diana Air rifles, one in .17 (it is from 1974) and one in .22 (also old)

The AR-7 receiver & barrel are too light for 9mm.
It would require a complete redesign and the result would probably something similar to the Ruger PCC.
I give a thumbs down on a 9mm semi auto from Henry. They are stretched too thin as it is and don't need to add anything to complicate matters.

Being a handloader I am not very fond of any type of firearm that scatters empty brass all over the landscape. I very rarely shoot my pre-war Colt National Match 45 for that very reason. With a levergun I can save my brass without a lot of trouble. I also have several centerfire revolvers to shoot that will eject brass right into my hand. So a semi auto in anything but .22 rim fire does not interest me.

Henry is great at Lever Guns and Single Shots.........the AR-7 is a good little shooter but I hate to see Henry take it's focus off the Lever Guns by trying to compete with all the other "rapid shooters". Don't get me wrong I own a number of auto's as well as a number of BP rifles and revolvers. I just think if a company has a focus they should enhance that focus.....not water it down with other offerings.

Just my humble opinion.........
