So who here has the 22 revolver and do u like it?

[Ozarkwoodswalker]

Like the heading said... who has pne here and do u like it? I really like the look on line but yikes they are pricy little fellers....any insight from someone who has touched one?

[Ozarkwoodswalker]

So nobody has one? Or nobody wants to talk about it?..... hummm....

[Sir Henry]

I thought there were a couple.

[Hatchdog]

Sorry ozark, I need to work on my comprehension skills

[Vaquero]

I haven't seen one around here, but I ain't looking for one so it doesn't bother me.
I'm more of a single action revolver guy anyway.

I assumed we were talking about the Henry 22 revolver when I saw the heading for this thread. If so, have yet to see one, though my LGS does have the 357 in the display case. I have seen it. If I thought the Henry 22 revolver would offer something I don't already have in a 22 DA revolver, I might be interested if and when I saw one. Not likely, though, given what I already have.

[BrokenolMarine]

I have several .22 revolvers, but like NCG, I was thinking the thread was referring to the new Henry .22.

[Ozarkwoodswalker]

It was......

[Mags]

not interested in a revolver with a rhino horn back strap.

[Sir Henry]

I like the revolvers. But then again I’ve only seen pictures. The proof is in the holding and shooting.

[Ozarkwoodswalker]

Yes i like the look. I could see it be a handy varmit in the yard dispatch tool.... I dont know anmbouz the rhino horn deal mentioned.... for my purpose I am not put off by anything i see besides the price... it just seems to me that if they could sell their 22 rifle for like $389 then a 22 pistol wouldn't have to cost nearly 2.5 times as much, or whatever (at least that is this skinflint tightwad's opinion)......

[North Country Gal]

I feel your pain about the expense, but there's a big difference in construction materials between Henry's less expensive rimfire lever rifles and that revolver, which is essentially a heavy built 357 mag revolver that has now been chambered in 22 LR.

[The Happy Kaboomer]

Wouldn't have if they were free.........Bout as ugly as a RG.

...that revolver [is] essentially a heavy built 357 mag revolver that has now been chambered in 22 LR.

Before I bought my full-size replica .357 and .22 Uberti SAA revolvers, I read that Uberti uses the same barrel and cylinder stock for all their SAAs. The .357 and the six-shot .22 both start with the same barrels and cylinders as a .45, but each has the (smaller) bore of their respective calibers.

[North Country Gal]

I noticed that, too, on. my Uberti 12 shot 22 LR. It's pretty heavy for a 22 revolver.

I went to order the Henry .22 revolver at my local FFL today and they had one in stock. I was the first to buy one at this store.
The quality is excellent, I took it home and tried it out on my own range. The accuracy was very good but it takes a bit getting used to the narrow front blade, I'm used to a wider front Patridge style sight and an adjustable rear sight. The DA was very smooth for a new revolver, very impressive. The SA trigger is also very crisp. It comes with 3 front sights for elevation adjustment but the medium height sight that was installed is perfect for the shooting I do. I could easily hit my steel plates with the Henry. The speed loaders that I designed for the Colt and Ruger 10 shots work great in the new Henry.

Good info. Thanks. I noticed the great DA pull on the 357 version, too, when I inspected one at our LGS.

[ds10speed]

Here's some results from today with a fairly stable rest, it seems to like CCI Standard Velocity.

[Ozarkwoodswalker]

Thanks for the info. I think its a pretty gun.
