Shop had the new Henry 357. I had will power and passed. Just wasn't of interest at the price - but neat....

I didn't know Henry made revolvers now. From this angle the bluing is a nice color. It wasn't too hot, nor too cold, when blued.

How much did that birdshead model cost?

I have been looking for a 4" 357, I see them online hovering around the $900 mark. At that price Id have to go S&W 686 or Kimber K6S. The take away for me is no lug protecting the ejector, but that does make it much easier (and economic ?) to install and index a barrel. The new Python is also on my radar but a bit spendy. Ive seen them starting to settle down in the $1400 zone.

Not sure what they are putting in the case for - my price was $789 otd. Bluing was nice. Brass a nice touch if you like that stuff. Action didn't feel too smooth. I just couldn't justify $800 ish for it.

I don't think they are very good looking revolvers. And WAY overpriced. I wouldn't be game until the $400 range. My guess is these will have value in 20 years, as they won't be making many.
