Got the Henry email this morning. Yup me too, hard pass on the pistols. No interest is something that looks like an old police revolver.

I have had to many bad experiences with Henry quality. A revolver has a lot of parts that have to work precisely together I wonder if Henry is capable of making one that will not have problems. I do not like how they look either; they remind me of the old, cheap RG pistols.

Hard pass on the pistols especially and a big yawner on the rest of the new models because they snubbed the 41 totally. With the quality they have displayed in the last couple years the need a good old fashioned Marine drill Sergeant running the show in the quality control dept. To much poor quality going out the door.

I am disappointed . I always envisioned the look of a Ruger Blackhawk or Uberti. With so many lever rifles out there, it just seems it would have been more wesstern . But, everyone to their on.

Not impressed. Henry is becoming just another gun manufacturer.
In today's business environment a company has to move forward and try new things or get left behind. I don't mind them trying to expand their offerings. I'm sure they had to come up with a style that didn't infringe on other patents although I pretty sure patents on the old Colts and S&W guns have long expired and are public domain by now. Doing brief search firearm patents are only good for 17 years. I guess they could have copied almost any vintage revolver.

Revolvers is actually how Henry got started.

Something I was waiting for and wanting Henry to make for years. But it's too late, I bought a Ruger Vaquero. Although I agree with some of the comments, disappointing that it's not a Single Action and also not really impressed with it's non-traditional looks. Also, ouch on the price. My Vaquero was almost half of that.

That's the first thing I thought of when seeing it for the first time.

I just kinda like the novelty of them, how they incorporated the shiny brass, akin to the Big Boys.
