Having both the tube feed capability and side gate loading is the best of both worlds. The side gate allows for an easy top off or a change of cartridge, while the tube allows for safely unloading without having to work the action for each cartridge while emptying the rifle. It's also 100% made in the USA. We have one of their plants here in WI.

@@soonerfrac4611 It seems the 41 mag is beginning to make a comeback. I'm glad to see it gaining popularity as it really is a great cartridge. The 10mm gets more popular every day because (according to some- there are a few factory high end 10mm loads) it has near 41 mag power. So (outside of capacity being smaller) what's wrong with the old Ruger Blackhawk or the S&W mod 57 both in 41 Mag, Nothing against the 10mm but aside from capacity the 41 mag will do everything it can do and more.

I own this rifle, but in the 20" barrel. Absolutely love it. At first I was hesitant about a rifle in pistol cartridge, but owning and shooting it has squashed that hesitation. Smooth action and super solid build. Excellent customer service too. When I got my rifle there was an issue with the butt stock being loose - the fitment of it was off. Three days after contacting Henry about it, I received new butt stuck AND forestock so that I wouldn't be left with mismatched wood. Keep up the great work Henry.

It took a while, but I finally got mine not too long ago. Like sootch00, I got a color case hardened 44 Magnum with side gate, but I went for the 20" barrel. I bought the large loop lever (color case hardened) and put it on, and then installed a set of Skinner Color Case Hardened Rear Peep sights with Brass Stem and the Skinner True Partridge Brass Blade Front Sight. Not only does it look fantastic, but it shoots great too! I can testify to the smoothness of the action, because I also own an older Marlin 1894 Cowboy Limited II. It's chambered in 44 Magnum and has an octagon barrel as well. The barrel on the Marlin is 4" longer, but a little thinner walled, so the weight is pretty close to the same. It still has the original buckhorn rear sights and beaded front blade, but it's a true shooter and It's never failed to drop deer in their tracks. All in all, I enjoy shooting both rifles, but the new Henry is smoother cycling.

It's a beautiful gun, has the magazine tube with 10 round capacity and octogon barrel but NO side loading gate. That's ok with me though cause I was never a big fan of the side loading gate. I was just trying to watch some videos on the rifle and I enjoyed your review so much I subscribed to your channel. Been wanting one of these rifles for years and had to put it on layaway and pay for it over time but I made my last payment today and brought it home!! Thanks for the review and post!!👍👍

It's good Henry added the gate. Prior to Henry doing so I bought a Rossi just for this feature. The rifle was a defensive truck gun and felt the tube only fed magazine to be a disadvantage in a gun fight. The Rossi was a descent weapon with a few upgrades and action job. I'm in the market for another 44 trapper and will likely purchase this rifle.

Thank you for review. Just ordered same gun but round barrel. I had a friend who had a Puma/Legacy sports 16" .454 Casul that had both a load gate and a tube feed. I was jealous because they didn't make it in .44 mag. I like having both. Load gate to load is fine but it is annoying while hunting, because you have to work the action to empty gun. With tube, not a problem...perfect system in my opinion and I think the 16" is such a handy side. Plus Henry makes a really nice fit finish gun.

The Henry lever action rifles are awesome. I remember watching the movie Silverado and the scene when Danny Glover’s character Mal Johnson arrives just in time to save Scott Glenn’s character’s Emmett’s life and saying, “I don’t wanna kill you and you don’t wanna be dead.” Or when Emmett offers Mal a revolver in a gun belt, Mal holds up two Henry rifles and says, This’ll do.” The Winchester lever action rifles were no slouch, either. But in my humble opinion, the Henry looked stronger than the Winchester. If I were to purchase a Henry, I would probably want to have the All-Weather with a pistol grip, 20 inch barrel and chambered in either.357 magnum/.38 Special or .44 magnum/ .44 Special. Add a strong leather strap and I’d be good to go. A revolver in those calibers would be sensible, as well and you can’t go wrong with the combination. I think lever action rifles are a sensible option in home defense. Have a great day!

The only advantage of the side gate for me would be to thread it and run it with a suppressor. They sell a version with a threaded barrel, but I have had no luck finding the .44 in stock. Plus, it's a 17.5" barrel instead of a 16. I would prefer the 16".

Forgot to add that I would really love to get my hands on one in 327. That looks like a hoot.

the 1800s "assault-rifle"!! You won't fully appreciate the look and feel of these until it is in your hands. Went with the .30-30 in the polished-brass. Thanks for the vid. Reminded me I need to take it back to the range

for pure hunting, the standard barrel load is fine, but if you want the advantages of both loading styles, its worth it. Definitely getting one.

This is a great video,I collect marlins but last year I spotted a Henry side gate with brass receiver and octagon barrel in my absolute favorite caliber the 35 Remington, And that led me down the Henry rabbit hole🤣 after that I spent the next 7 months buying Henry's,I have the 44/45lc/357/41mag/& the 327 color case hardened octagon barrel, absolutely beautiful rifles,then Last night I ordered 2 long rangers the fully engraved models but in the new 2022 caliber's 270 win and 7 mm rem mag

Buy a Henry with confidence. While the government did not purchase any repeating rifles during the civil war, individual units spent their own money and armed themselves with the original Henry repeating rifle. These northern units did in fact exact quite a toll on the southern units they came in contact with. Blue or gray, they were all Americans and I believe they should be remembered with respect.

Like the looks of that, may have to check them out. Bought the wife a Henry .22 lever some years ago for Christmas, sweet little gun. I've got a Win.9422, also a Win. 30-30 Trapper myself and love them. Tried a Marlin Guide in 45-70 many years ago, second shot through it the internals came apart, this was with factory loads nothing hot; they refunded me on that thing.

I have a Henry .44 Mag BBS Carbine. A fine shooting rifle but the bore is a bit big for .429-.430 cast bullets and the twist is a bit slow at 1-38. Have to run the loads at 1500+ FPS or I get a couple key hole hits. Doesn't like mild Mag or 44 Special loads. Just bought a 44 Mag Uberti 1873 for the mild loads!

@@trapperscout2046 Im sure they will be of good quality. Ruger has a good reputation plus the market will not tolerate any shoddy guns like marlin was putting out. I know i passed on 2 marlin levers that did not have jm stamped on the barrel.........

Great video! I got mine, took 4 months to show (worth the wait). I got the 20" barrel and added the color case hardened large loop lever from Henry pride. I have an unboxing video on it too ( my first KZbin video). These are even better in person. They are Henrys toughest looking rifle and they beg to be used, and a guy dont gotta worry about scratching his shinny rifle. Love it!!

I love the Henry’s I’ve got a X model in 45 colt and a steel side gate in 45/70 been wanting a 44 Mag but as much as I like Henry I’m also considering a Rossi they are quite a bit cheaper but the cost difference still makes it hard to get the Rossi as the Henry’s are such a beautiful and and smooth functioning gun.
