I was picking up a gun at a shop recently. This shop made a HUGE display on their wall for handguns. As I looked them all over while I waited, I finally saw a Henry revolver in person. Of course I asked to handle it and look it over. As I have read, I can say that they are much more impressive in person than in pictures.
Will I go back and get it? I sure will. What won me over is the feel of quality once I had it in hand. It also fit my hand like a glove. It was the squareish handled model. I'm not sure when I'll get back to this place, but I plan on picking it up.
We had issues. There is someone taking care of things. The site may be up and down for a bit.

Can't wait to see the pictures. Is he planning on ordering in the birdshead model so you can compare both before you buy?

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.
I don't look back at the things I can't do anymore with regret, I just look forward to the things I still can.

Good for you, Dave. I'd be very interested to see how it shoots for you.

LGS had a Henry in 357 today. I picked it up and it felt pretty good with a good trigger and tight cylinder. Had a $799 price tag on it but I put it back. I don't need a 357 right now.

I think he may have one with the birdshead too. It wasn't out.BrokenolMarine wrote: ↑Fri Jan 24, 2025 10:15 amCan't wait to see the pictures. Is he planning on ordering in the birdshead model so you can compare both before you buy?
It will likely be several months before I get it. I don't get there often.

Thanks Dave,
I like the feel of the Birdshead, and my Uberti 357 is very comfortable to shoot.
