Revolvers from Henry!?

[BigAl52]

Even if there 200 cheaper than the Colt,Ruger or Smith I give them a hard pass on appearance. They are just ugly

I understand; looks is a factor. As NCG pointed out, function is a factor also. To me, Henry's revolver seems to be geared toward collectors. Like a lot of things, beautiful is in the eye of the beholder. One man's trash is another man's treasure. It may function fine. I agree though; the aesthetic may have to grow on you.

Look at the cylinder lockup on the Ruger GP100 more so how the crane locks into the frame.and the fact that the frame is solid without a sideplate. Now look at the new Henrys for about the same $$ and tell me which of those would you bet on for many thousands of rounds over the years. I have two .357's One is a GP100 full lug 6 inch and when I want to load it a little (hot) I have no concerns.I am glad that H.R.A. finally did a handgun but I think that they could have done better. Also the open top Colt 1860 design is not a good choice for modern cartridge revolver. Even Colt got away from it with the Model P.

I am still trying to wear out my Security Six. I have a wait several years and see attitude about Henrys revolver.

One thing for sure they all make holes and two holes depending on bullet which causes massive leak of fluid leading to death.

I bought a new 4" Security Six about 45 years ago. I wouldn't be able to hazard a guess how many rounds have gone through it and some were pretty hot. Unlike it's owner the Ruger is showing no signs whatsoever of wearing out!

It would be fun to own the Henry revolver if it came in 9mm. It would be a nice matching set to go with my homesteader. I'll wait, it will probably happen fairly soon.

Ruger makes a BH Convertible, comes with the 38spl/357 cylinder and a 9mm cylinder.

Another reason I wish Henry would have gone single action. You can use semi-auto cartridges without needing moon clips. 9mm is as cheap to shoot as it gets in center fire.

[Travlin]

There are already at least two single actions in 9mm. One of them is a Colt clone with a color case hardened frame so I don't think that it would have been wise for HRA to do the same. Also Charter Arms has solved the rimless cartridge problem in their double action revolvers without using moon clips as in 9mm, 40 S&W and .45ACP.
