Hmmm. One of 2 things: Either the gun is not accurate, or he's a lousy shot.

I like the idea of multiple front sights. As for accrucy, the seems to be dependent on round, front sight and shooter. It seems the lower front with .357s performed the best with him. In a self-defense senario, that would probably work. For hunting, a handgun would not be my first choice.

Yet, I think that 25 yards is part of most qualifying requirements for carrying a firearm in the line of duty. In that respect, a paper target instead of a steel plate may have provided a better idea of what the shooter is capable of with that firearm. Even he stated, the lack of hitting the target was more due to him and not the firearm.

Would I buy one? I don't know. Currently, I think that I am good on .357 revolvers. But, I thought that same thing a few months back. Until, I pulled the trigger on a Colt King Cobra Carry. Then, I found myself in the market for one.

Yep either the revolver or shooter but I have much better .357 revolvers for that price range. Henry should have started out with a good SA shooter!!!
I can't any mention of a 22 caliber on the Henry site?

Well, I bought a new to me 357 revolver yesterday, but it weren't one of those.
And for less coin, even after buying and paying shipping, and then the transfer.
I'll still be under 6 bills. ;) :D 8-) It should be here mid week.

Accuracy? Has to be the shooter, at least I hope it is. Pretty bleak.

he is flinching on the rest. watching the rest of the vid, I don't think he's that great of a shot. He missed all six at a 2/3rds size silhouette target.
