Henry Rifle Forums

I continue to be quite pleased with how well I shoot the Big Boy Revolver. My handgun ability has always lagged behind my long-gun game -- perhaps it's about on par with my circle-drawing prowess. I'm happier with this group I shot Sunday than any other I've ever shot off-hand with any handgun.

Well done. Shooting a handgun is harder than shooting a rifle. The pistol/revolver is widely accepted as the hardest gun to master. For me, that's always been a great excuse to go out and shoot more, though. Keep up the good work.

Great group. A burgler wouldnt want you shooting at him!!

Glad to hear your positive report on the Big Boy Revolver. Good shooting!

Good shooting.
While out hopping around the gunshops a couple Friday's ago I saw one in person.
Looks much better in real life, but I still don't want one.
At $800 there are much more out there that would appeal more to me for that kind of coin.

That's great shooting for 25 yds. Congratulations. I find handgun shooting easier than rifle shooting, go figure.
Keep us updated with your Henry handgun please.

Hey, nothing wrong with your circles.

Shooting is great too!

As a lifelong hunter and former competitive trapshooter, probably more than 90 percent of my shooting to this point has been done with shotguns and rifles. Even the vast majority of practice sessions have been preparation for one or the other of those activities and I've never hunted with a handgun. They were just a nice occasional diversion and, of course, necessary for concealed carry and other potential defensive scenarios.

I'm really enjoying shooting them –- particularly my revolvers -– a lot more these days, especially with my own handloads. The progress I've made is very encouraging and a great incentive to keep working at it.

Well nothing wrong with those results! Keep on having some revolver fun with that Henry.
