Anyone used one of the new Henry wheelguns? They make a gun lever gun, so I'm thinking (hoping) their revolvers are at least decent.

I got to play with one a few days ago (round butt). I only put 12 rounds through it, and I'm also violently biased towards pre-lock s&w's
I didn't like it. It felt cheap. Trigger seemed pretty stagey. The hammer had a very nice seam line down the middle that once i noticed it, i couldn't unsee it. It doesn't help that the brass grip isn't really blended with the gun. Accuracy was ok.
I let the guy shoot my 65-2 and he seemed to like it a lot more than his henry.

Very unattractive and a bit too expensive.
Been able to handle a couple of them. Not impressed.
Serviceable but unappealing.
The fixed sights are a negative.
Overpriced for what it is.
I would not buy.

There is a difference between beautiful and sexy - I don’t think it is either, but I don’t think it’s ugly
It sure ain’t Rhino ugly

Re ‘’New Henry Revolvers’’
WHY ?
Do they offer anything new, unique, or better ?
Extra value or utility ?
Not that I could see.

Exposed ejector takes it out of consideration for me. This isn't the 1890s.

They look like old H&Rs with nothing pleasing,cool,different or interesting.
Fixed sights and bad ones at that.
$900 for this? not my $900.
At $399 msrp they might sell a few

I handled one at Range USA. The grip did not feel right for me and it felt unbalanced. Just my 2c
Plus is too expensive for me.

The henry looks like what you'd get if you asked chatgpt from 2 years ago what a cowboy revolver looked like
... And you would already own one if it was chambered for 30SC huh?
No. But if they replaced the brass grip frame with a red anodized aluminum grip, yes
What? Do think that'd somehow make it uglier?

Honestly, I’d look for something used from Ruger or S&W before I bought a Henry at that price.

Weird that they chose to copy the look and feel of the Colt 1877- a pistol poorly regarded by history.
