Henry Rifle Forums

Like the heading said... who has pne here and do u like it? I really like the look on line but yikes they are pricy little fellers....any insight from someone who has touched one?

So nobody has one? Or nobody wants to talk about it?..... hummm....

I thought there were a couple.

Sorry ozark, I need to work on my comprehension skills

I haven't seen one around here, but I ain't looking for one so it doesn't bother me.
I'm more of a single action revolver guy anyway.

I assumed we were talking about the Henry 22 revolver when I saw the heading for this thread. If so, have yet to see one, though my LGS does have the 357 in the display case. I have seen it. If I thought the Henry 22 revolver would offer something I don't already have in a 22 DA revolver, I might be interested if and when I saw one. Not likely, though, given what I already have.

I have several .22 revolvers, but like NCG, I was thinking the thread was referring to the new Henry .22.

It was......

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

I like the revolvers. But then again I’ve only seen pictures. The proof is in the holding and shooting.

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.

I dont see much wrong with the group out of the mini mags
