Where are all the Henry revolvers hiding?

[BrokenolMarine]

I still haven't seen one in the stores.

My local gun store has a Smith and Wesson 686 that's used for 750.00 I would buy that long before I would drop 800 for this ugly gun.

Wonder how many and where they have sold any? IF they are making them they have to be holed up someplace!

[Vaquero]

Haven't seen any around here.
If it is like everything else they make these days.
May be a while, but I have no desire to own one.
And I agree with a couple of the previous post, that they are UGLY.

I'd like to try the trigger on one. That will tell me a lot about what I want to know about them.

[BrokenolMarine]

I wouldn't mind trying one. Pretty isn't always the most important thing. The A10 isn't a pretty Aircraft in my mind... after all, it's nickname is the Warthog... but it's beautiful when it rolls in on target. LOL. My PPC revolvers aren't exactly beautiful, but those ragged x/10 rings groups are gorgeous.

Wow is the barrel that big in diameter?

[BrokenolMarine]

Yup, PPC revolvers are shot rapid fire at 7 and 15 yards. They are also shot slow fire at 25 and 50 yards, standing, sitting, and prone. Big heavy barrels make them very stable and also really fast back on target in rapid fire. (2 shots in 20 seconds including the speed load.) Most of the 12 round groups at 7 yards are one ragged hole.

A full state level match is 120 rounds with the PPC revolver, then again with a semi auto. Of course there are the side matches for Service Auto, Service Revolver and Snubby. (Those courses are shorter, less rounds.)

When I was a lot younger I had a few LEO friends that did that type of competition. They would buy a used model 10 S&W and then let a gunsmith put on the heavy barrel, Bomar rib and do an action job. Those guys would travel all over the state (Fl.) to compete. In those days all of them carried .38 revolvers on duty. My how times have changed.

As an aside I met Ron Powers at the San Antonio Tex. airport as he and I were leaving the NRA Annual meeting back in the seventies.He related a rather interesting story about one of the fellow airline passengers.

Great! Maybe do a Range review on it to let us know how you like it.

I was on an alert for Mid USA for when they get some Henry revolver. I got an email yesterday that they got them. I stopped my car and went to their website to order. Said unavailable no backorder. I called just to check if there was an update issue on that item. The nice lady said they got only one, and it sold very fast. As with Henry, she couldn't tell me when they would get more. The search goes on. So I ordered a Henry pump action rifle 22WMR. I should have it soon.
Seems to be my luck with Henry. I was originally looking for a Henry X in 30-30. None to be had. Same scenario for the regular and case hardened version. The brass looks fantastic but a bit shiny. And if I scratched it...
