Henry Homesteader 9mm Semi-Auto
Re: Henry Homesteader 9mm Semi-Auto
I'll be watching for one but I'm not too concerned for my wallet just yet. It will probably be a while before they hit the local dealers. Judging by some of the Henry prices on Gunbroker this will be a $1500+ gun on there!

Re: Henry Homesteader 9mm Semi-Auto
9MM should be able to be tube feed. Imagine a Winchester 92 being a semi-auto instead of a lever. I like the idea of it being able to get topped off with a gate.GunnyGene wrote: ↑Wed Jan 18, 2023 12:04 pmFrom a technical standpoint I don't see why not. Whether there would be market for it is a different question. I suspect you are looking for the slim lines of a tube mag for this. The problem with tube mags is the same as it's always been - centerfire cartridges and hardnose pointy bullets. Box mags solved that problem. Don't know if you noted that this new semi-auto comes with a flush fit 5rnd and a 10round mag, so you can still have the slim lines if you're willing to compromise on capacity and of course, no need for a gate.Sir Henry wrote: ↑Wed Jan 18, 2023 9:21 amI’m wondering if a gate fed tube feed semi could be made?

Send the idea to Henry. They might be interested in it, and would know if it's feasible.Sir Henry wrote: ↑Thu Jan 19, 2023 3:17 am9MM should be able to be tube feed.

I am sure that is a pre-production model, but I hope the wood to metal fit is a lot better on the production guns. That “proud” edge would drive me nuts:
And the pressed in “checkering” - yuck. That is not good in a $1000 rifle.

Re: Henry Homesteader 9mm Semi-Auto
Stopped in my LGS today, I was told my price would be around $740 + tax.
I think I will wait and let them work the bugs out and then go for it!

Re: Henry Homesteader 9mm Semi-Auto
I'll take a semi-auto Henry in 9mm, and one in 10mm, and another in .45acp.
Bring it on Henry!

This! I am a huge fan of 35s, and the Legend didn't do it for me. I'm happy with 35 REM, but Henry doesn't do a steel one, so....Jdl447 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 17, 2023 10:28 pmI am more interested in this.

Just my opinion, 9mm is a SD cartridge/weapon. Same with 45 ACP. For me ONLY, hi-cap pistols and carbines in auto pistol calibers is for havoc in a hurry and close quarters. Camping or on the trail or in the woods, I want it dead. 357Mag is the least I would choose first.
But this is my glass of Kool-aid

Re: Henry Homesteader 9mm Semi-Auto
Well. I have a new rifle on my want list (or maybe that's wait list...). The barrel length puts it in the 'restricted' class here. It took Ruger quite a while to get around to an 18.5" barreled 10-shot version of their PC Carbine. I hope Henry already has one in the works...I'd buy it.
The only reason I don't already have a Ruger is the lack of a wood stock option. Go Henry!
The area around the receiver is kind of reminiscent of a Browning BAR. I can live with that.
