HENRY REVOLVERS

[ProfessorWes]

FWIW, Boge Quinn likes it.



He thinks the new Henry revolver's looks are reminiscent of the old Colt New Service from the early 1900s. Maybe.

I guess I'd have to handle one in the steel for myself.

That MSRP is still higher than the prices I've seen on GP100 Match Champions and Colt King Cobras in my local gunshops (although S&Ws are right up there).

LOT of money for something that's UGLY and unproven! Better spent elsewhere (like a good 1911 clone)!

 

[arfmel]

Judge for yourselves:

Not really much competition in the looks department.

 

[Cholo]

Nope, not even close.

 

[Stantheman1986]

They better be an American made version of a Korth for $1000, when that same $1000 will buy a GP100 that will last forever and you'll have some left for a range day worth of ammo.

 

[Cal30 1906]

That revolver is not for me.
EAA arms is much cheaper and look about the same quality.

The only thing I don't like is the exposed ejector rod. If dropped it could be bent.

I think if I were interested in spending a lot of money on a funny looking revolver from a company with a limited track record of producing revolvers, I might go with the Kimber.

Or maybe even a Chiappa, just to be really different

 

[ProfessorWes]

Still think I'd rather take a chance on the new Rossi .357, or even a Windicator, than the Henry. I'd certainly prefer a GP-100 Match Champion for that money, and would have enough for at least a box or two of shells left over.

I have a .40 Rhino snubby and it's not very fun to shoot because it drives the recoil right into your hand, but it does the job it advertises, to allow faster follow up shots.......but it's light and easy to carry, with the alloy frame. Chiappa actually does a good job with them.

The grip looks small on that Rhino. Can you put bigger grips on it?

It has a Ruger-esque grip stud that accepts bigger grips, those are the small rubber grips. I think if I put the large wood grips on it will be better

 

[Thumbcocker]

Makes a Nagant look sexy.

 

[anachronism]

No self-respecting holster would be caught anywhere near one of those.... things. They're probably decently reliable and everything, but they still look like one of the old so-called "suicide special".
