Henry Big Boy Revolver 357: Is It for Shooting...or Just for Looks?

A first shots range review with the new Henry Big Boy 357 magnum revolver. I run it through its paces and give my initial thoughts on how this revolver performs.

I love the looks of it. It's a classic 1900's double action, without being a copy of something. Henry does their own thing and they do it very well. It's a pretty gun to me.

[@jimlattanzi]

The trigger improves after a 100 rounds or so. Mine is very accurate. They also provide three front sites so each individual may adjust the front site that works best. Thank you for the review.

I hope they’ll introduce a blued steel grip frame in place of the brass frame. Some Houge rubber grips would go a long way too. Thanks for the video sir.

[@michaellavaughnrobinson]

Appreciate the presentation.

The Henry reminds me of the Colt Trooper MKIII.

[@leifhoklin2681]

It doesn’t remind me of the trooper mkiii, the relieved underside of the barrel and exposed ejector rod remind me of the original Colt Trooper.

[@geneotrexler8246]

Good video & nice range👍The impression I got , is the Henry pistol functions, yet no improvement on the shoot ability of their revolver .

[@user-xr2pp4nx1v]

Throw back to turn of the century. 1890's to 1910's. Get closer then walk it back to see where it is hitting. Put it in Snubby Range of 20 yards or less. Also try instinct fire using the index pointing finger method.

[@malikrigardmpa3477]

Tell me between the Henry revolver and the GP100 44 special revolver with the Lipsey grip, which one is the better buy ?

[@Preacher357]

Honestly, I would prefer the GP100. I would generally rather have a 357 than a 44 special (although I love 44 special too), but I prefer the GP100 to the Henry revolver. The Henry looks cool, but I found it less than impressive at the range.

[@carlosmorris4510]

I've heard that this is loosely molded on the design of the old S&W Combat Masterpiece.

[@Preacher357]

If so it was very, very loosely, and only cosmetically at that. I don't know if you saw my first look and comparison video where I stripped it down as far as I was able; but, the Henry action is more like a Ruger than a Smith and Wesson.

[@kimcaswell2895]

The gun looks like it was based on a colt new service. I bet it is a quality gun.

[@terryschiller2625]

Sir you maybe having trouble seeing the front blade because you we're shooting in the shadows with dark shooting glasses with a dark rear and front. I paint all my iron sights revolers with post and also rifles

[@Preacher357]

The shade doesn't help. My eyes don't help either. I usually paint mine as well. It is time for me to go back to the optometrist also. I need my prescription updated.

[@terryschiller2625]

@@Preacher357 I know what's that like. Sometimes getting old isn't any fun! Have a good weekend Sir from East Tennessee.

[@ronniecunningham9293]

Good video! Thanks, as I now know not to buy one. 😃

[@bigal2696]

That's an expensive gun to be so seemingly lackluster

[@Preacher357]

I feel much the same way about it. It isn't a bad gun, but it is certainly not exceptional in my opinion.

[@rudybetta]

Can't see the sights maybe wear clear safety glasses instead of shades

[@Preacher357]

They aren't shades. They are prescription safety glasses with transitions lenses. They only turn dark when the sun is bright. You can't see how bright the sun is in a video because I use a neutral density filter to cut out the glare.

[@robertcomerford7267]

You might want to stop with gun reviews. Clueless on the subject of revolvers, single and double action. Horrible review.

[@Preacher357]

@@robertcomerford7267 well, the great robertcomeeford7267 has spoken, so I guess I need to just give it up. 🤣🤣🤣. You know I was just talking in my last video about guys like you making comments. If you don't like my video, that is fine. If you think I don't know what I am talking about, you are welcome to your opinion. I don't claim to be an expert. I never have, so I am not trying to pawn myself off as something I am not. However, the only reason to even bother making a comment like this is to try to build yourself up by putting me down. That's OK, though. I can take it. I learned not to seek the approval of other people a long time ago. (I Corinthians 4:3,4)
