Henry Big Boy Revolver Review

To almost anyone in the gun culture, the words “Henry rifle” conjure up images of a post-civil war United States and an American tradition that is part of our heritage. And now, for the first time in history – there is a Henry revolver, and it’s called the Big Boy.

I'll pass.

Nope. This guy reports nice, small groups, but I can't get past the exposed cylinder pin and the look of this revolver for that amazing price. I'd spend a bit more and get a S&W or Colt. YMMV

 

[nmedge]

Nope, too expensive

Looks like Charter Arms and Rohm had an illegitimate child.
Big Boy? A .44 or .45 is a big boy. This is more of an unwanted middle child and seems to be treated as such.
Too expensive and just plain ugly. No thanks.

Looks like fightin' iron! I feel they could have been a little more industrious with the naming, even though it'll look nice beside the rifle.

Different for sure but at the cost , no thanks.

They look a bit like the old Colt DA revolvers—Police Positive, etc.

The exposed ejector with the large knob on the end really gives it that Colt feel.

Its a very retro design, reminds me of the old High Standard revolvers. I don't mind the exposed pin at all but I do worry a bit about the way the grips fit to the frame. Where the thumb rest is it look rather tall and kind of pointy. It might be an issue under recoil, especially left handed.
