    Default Henry Big Boy Revolver

    Henry just dropped two new revolvers chambered in 38SPL/.357Mag. This being Henry's first revolver, I'm curious to see how they perform. I don't really need another .357 mag revolver, but glad to see them branching out.

    Depending on price I would be interested in these revolvers .

    Was there any damage? Did they discharge?

    They should be more careful.

    They remind me of the old Colt police positive with the exposed ejector rod. Nice to see Henry expanding the line. I hope they continue to expand the revolvers.

    Msrp of $928

    I'm a pass if they end up selling for anywhere near that.

    I*m not sure if they were going for a *nostalgic* or *vintage* look but the lack of ejector shroud is the biggest detractor for me. Also not sure how I feel about the two piece frame design, it looks nice but seems like a weaker design. I*m hoping this is just the beginning for them and since them seem to be oriented to the vintage, we can only hope to see a well made American made Colt SAA from them.

    Overall it*s refreshing to see an American company branch out.

    Figure street price will be between $700-$800. That's on par with other quality revolvers.

    Of "known" quality revolvers. If it said s&w on the barrel, maybe. Honestly, I don't love the styling anyway, but new to market and priced the same as s&w/colt/ruger that's a gamble. I won't take it personally. I don't know why they didn't go more retro or more modern. I guess I just don't see the market.

    If you can think of a better way to pay for all those Sean Hannity commercials I'd like to hear it.
