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

[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)......

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.

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.

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.

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

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

They were a little left.

I see that but the group itself is tighter than the others

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

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 Happy Kaboomer]

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

Me either......BUTT UGLY with no adjustable sights..........Wouldn't have one iffen they were free..................

The old HS Sentinal was a much better looking revolver.
