Say what? Looks like they borrowed some design from Charter Arms only at a higher price.

Or H&R.

What's that funny looking bump behind the hammer? Nice trigger guard.

 

[Trooper Joe]

Maybe they will grow on me. Several posts on another forum suggested they should have gone to a single action type of revolver. I think the design they picked is better.

 

[weaselmeatgravy]

Those are unfortunately unattractive. But at least they're made out of metal.

 

[Watertender]

At over $900 it will have to be very impressive to sell. It looks like a cross between a Charter Arms Pathfinder and a Harrington and Richardson 929 except in. 357 instead of. 22

 

[Busterswoodshop]

I haven't been over impressed with their rifles.
If I was looking for a revolver , I would rather spend $928 on an older S&W or Ruger.

 

[bisleyfan41]

They had to work hard to design a gun that ugly. And at $900?? SMH.

 

[rugerguy]

wow, to me they look very disappointing and at that price I could buy 3 or even 4 Wranglers and have a better looking gun and more fun and cheaper shooting too

 

[BULL'S-EYE]

These should be a $4-450 MSRP tops, revolver in today's market IMO...I'm not even remotely interested at $928!

 

[Cholo]

They're mighty proud of them at that price point. I bet they're only selling them as collector's items

Look like a starter pistol to me.

Exactly. And "out the door/street" price of under four pigs.

Frankly, I'd rather have an Armscor or Taurus or Rossi.

The starter pistol looks better.

Styling to make it superficially resemble an original Colt Lightning. This design is an atrocity and I hope they don't end up like USPFA did over it. So equal parts of Colt Lightning, H&R, Charter Arms, and fail.

 

[Dave P.]

Those are seriously ugly guns!
At that price point they will have to be exceptionally well made with great triggers
and world class accuracy. It'll take all of that and more just to offset the ugly!
Stevie Wonder's dog must have designed those.

You left out Generic Cap Pistol.

 

[GasGuzzler]

Just like the rifles ... made of mostly good materials (except rimfire receivers), overpriced, and built to ogle not abuse.

 

[peachhead]

Some of the stuff that they've come out with lately is just.... No thanks.

I thought it was styled after a High Standard "Sentinel"...

They got that from the S&W Russian #3...

Retro beavertail. Or maybe a steampunk beavertail, just to be trendy.

Or, come to think of it, maybe it's transitioning from one thing to another....

 

[freakindawgen]

My thought was they won't sell, they quit making them, then everyone will want one.

 

[larry8]

I just don't like the exposed ejectors. They can become damaged is you drop the gun. And at a colt price?? They do look cheap, I'll stick to Ruger and S&W.

 

[contender]

Not impressed, and I'll just stick to my Rugers.

 

[Hunter6657]

Should have at least put adjustable sights on it at that price point.

 

[BloodyThumb]

What a shame. Henry finally makes a mistake…. A big one I think. When I heard they might release a revolver I assumed it would be SAA-ish for certain. I never would have guessed it would be a double action revolver, especially one this ugly. Double action would be just fine… but MAN is it ever ugly.

It looks like Charter Arms, H&R, and RG had a 3 way. When it was born from that little “event” it had no grip frame, so they made a prosthetic from brass of all things.

I have several Henry’s and really like everything I have from them. I even bought a couple for the grandkids to shoot. But this one I will just have to pass on.

 

[moparclan]

Not interested.
