New Henry revolvers?

[Iowashooter]

The henry looks like what you'd get if you asked chatgpt from 2 years ago what a cowboy revolver looked like

Guns are like women…

no such thing as an ugly one… some are just barely pretty

Give post #8 a second to load, you'll see some ugly ones.

I’m a revolver guy. I like having new manufacturers in the game. However, for the price point, I’d rather get another nice Sw 686 or gp100.

It is a good utility revolver. People who only shoot at the range and other such controlled conditions don't understand the benefit of fixed sights. HOWEVER, the grip kills it. Those birds head grips are certainly kewl looking, but suck for controlling the recoil of a revolver.

Lol what?

I enjoy shooting my Henry rifles but I see nothing about their revolvers to interest me getting one.

what advantage do fixed sights have over adjustable sights?

They're not bad if you use them right. Not sure what you mean by "controlling the recoil"

The biggest advantage is they force us to learn to shoot properly. Adjustable sights are crutches that allow us to have and . maintain bad shooting habits.
Second they're far more rugged and foolproof that adjustable sights.

Birdshead grips concentrate the recoil into a small area of the palm of our hands. They're also not good for heavy recoiling revolvers. That's why we don't see them on large caliber, heavy recoiling hunting revolvers.

Durability. I've had my model 66 sights get bumped off zero. I'm also slightly faster picking up the sights on my 65 than i was with my 66.

yea idk man. Having to develop specific loads just to get fixed sights where they should be hitting is a big turn off. Ill take the adjustables unless its on a stubby

A good, well made revolver should shoot pretty much everything to POA. My 65-2 shoots everything from 125gr .357 to 148gr wadcutters nearly identically out to 25 yards.

My pre model 10 shoots pretty much everything the same

My 66 only needed to be zeroed twice, once when i first got it, and again when it got knocked off.

My 25 shoots everything pretty much the same, save for some 200gr cowboy loads.

Most of my handguns have fixed sights and as long as I use a weight bullet that close to the original load {158 gr. in 38 Spec/.357, 250 gr. I'm 44 Spec, 250 gr. in 45 Colt, etc} I've had no problem getting these guns to shoot to the sights even out as far as 75 yds.

Not my experience at all with fixed sights. I cant go from 185s to 250s in any of my 45 lc revolvers. Cant go from 125 to 158s in 357s etc.

Adjustable sights lets me shoot any bullet weights at any velocity (within reason) to POA. Thats something that I need for my use cases

What guns? A nice old school smith or colt is going to do a lot better than a Taurus, rossi, or uberti as far as sight regulation goes

 

[PinnedandRecessed]

crutches

Yeah! Tbh, guns are crutches as a whole. We need to go back to rocks and sharp sticks. If it was good enough for Cain, it's good enough for us.

Definitely not, the 45 Colt is probably the worst in the world about POI's changing when you switch to lighter bullets.

The question is, why dick around with a bunch of different bullet weights and twiddle with your sights?

You sell beautiful rifles for years…

At a loss to explain the move.
