You're right, I was thinking more center shots because I can't adjust for windage.

The speed loaders that I designed for the Colt and Ruger 10 shots work great in the new Henry.
Do you make and sell the speedloaders?
UPDATE: Never mind, I see the website now. But I have a question now: which model is appropriate for Henry? I see that 617 and GP100 models differ (and GP100 is significantly more expensive for some reason).

The loader that fits the Henry is the one that fits the Colt and Ruger. The Colt has a very tight clearance to the frame and requires extra machining and dual small diameter garter springs so it doesn't scratch the Colt frame, they are harder to make. It's not worth making a separate loader design for each gun since it works for all three, those are very low volume compared to the 617. Revolver Supply sells them for me. He shows a separate loader for Colt and Ruger but they are the same loader, I think he wanted to track how many bought Colts and how many bought Rugers, didn't make sense to me but whatever. He hasn't updated his website yet to show that they also fit the Henry, I actually just found that out.

That Henry 22 shooter looks to be a great shooter and don't look bad at all with the rich looking walnut grips. That speed loader you make looks really good and high quality too. Nice package!

Another update after using it some more:

One nice feature is the button in the front trigger guard to remove the crane and cylinder for easy cleaning. The owners manual shows it can be a 10 shot .22 Magnum but there is no info whether or not you can get another cylinder.

I didn't like the front sight ramp, it was too reflective, I would lose it on some targets. It came with 3 front sights of various heights (.250",.225" and .200") so I milled the tallest one down to look like a target sight, (I needed .212") it works much better for me. Although I would like the front blade and rear slot to be wider, that's what I'm used to on my other guns, it would be quicker to pick up for the speed sports I do. I think Henry was intending this revolver for a different market than what I use it for.

Henry took a good hard look at the old High Standard Sentinel didn't they?

The old HS Sentinal was a much better looking revolver.
