Reminds me of H & R revolvers from back in the day

[@texaswader]

I agree, wish they would have made it a LOT better looking.

[@joelmclamore1898]

Now ,for a snub nose version😊

[@justinpennington7682]

​@texaswader it's ugly as sin. It's a $300 gun tops with a $1k price tag

[@hoppinggnomethe4154]

It reminds me of the classic Model 10 series that offers round and squared butt versions

[@texaswader]

Ugh no. The S&W has nice lines this one doesn't. @@hoppinggnomethe4154

[@joshuagibson2520]

Always appreciate those macro shots. So many video creators don't do enough of that. I can really see how well the finish machining is and any hand deburring.

[@Maelstrom8]

Agreed. 100%

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

Thanks much for the comment. I really like going into the details with the photography and looking at perspectives that are less common. I'm glad to know that some folks like it!

[@hectorroman0703]

I have the Henry Big Boy .44 mag Carbine and I’m extremely excited to have found out Henry came out with a revolver. Selling my beretta and buying this amazing revolver

[@watariovids1645]

I bought my dad one of these for a retirement present a few months ago, the old man decided to delay his retirement by three months however so its still sitting in a box hidden in my parents cupboard so I havent been able to shoot it. I really like that it looks like a very late era cowboy gun or early 1900s police revolver while still being Double / Single which was a big criteria that I needed to meet. I got it for only 750$ before taxes as well. The only real complaint i have construction wase is I somewhat wish it had slightly less low profile sights but i get that's part of the aesthetic.

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

Great retirement present! Wish your dad a happy and healthy retirement for me (when the time comes). I find myself now looking at a calendar full of Saturdays, and it's an odd feeling that I haven't gotten used to yet.

[@bobjohnson1633]

How they didn't make the 3" round butt is insane.

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

Maybe they will, if this one does okay in the market and enough people ask for it. Henry strikes me as a pretty consumer-friendly company but I don't know people there really.

[@robertallen8841]

I’d love to see a top-break version done with the Henry touch. The gun fighter grip and bluing scream Schofield.

[@erroneous6947]

I would like to see a modern top break. Particularly a bulldog style pistol.

[@davidbequette953]

Top break .22.

[@larryfromwisconsin9970]

From Rice Lake, Wisconsin? Good things come from Wisconsin, like Jack Link's jerky from nearby Minong, Wisconsin. And cheese curds, especially fried cheese curds. Seriously, I like this gun and your review.

[@tommyj1811]

Finally, Great looking well built classy looking revolvers. No adjustable sights, no optics rail, no plastic. No gimmicks no lasers, no crap. I see two birds heads or gunfighters or all in my future in opposing custom built shoulder holsters.

[@Se7enBeatleofDoom]

Henry knows how to make guns look good. Henry needs to make a snub nose next.

[@stanviers8792]

Holy shit.. that 15yd group was great!!!

[@stolnpckup]

I have a henry revolver with gunfighter grips. I like the old school look. A bunch of people dont like the look or the price. Yes, it is kinda pricey. But it is 100 percent American made.

[@brjamesaidan]

Being a Henry lover, I could not wait to get my hands on this revolver, it is a great match for my Hemry carbine and I even use it as my heavy ccw.

[@nebraskarooster9244]

I'm really excited to see this offering from Henry. Thank you for posting this review. Hopefully a local store will have them at some point so I can pick one up!

[@deanbusch2727]

I think they hit this one out of the park. Huge revolver fan, I really like the functional retro design.

[@terryholloway9930]

Thanks Justin great review

[@bethbrown1207]

Loved this video thank you ! Just got one it’s beautiful.

[@Beuwen_The_Dragon]

Not sure if I like the brass, but I’m leaning toward not really. Other than that, the profile is decent, not quite old school Colt or Smith, but a mix of both, Slim barrel, smooth top, exposed ejector rod, gives me classic police revolver vibes that I like. The name? Nooooo. Might pick one up if I can ever afford to justify the price.

[@mikeseier4449]

Very nice revolver,.. Classic looking,Accurate,And it’s a Henry!.. Good video

[@jordielees7808]

Nice revolver. Also your presentation format is different which i like.

[@furmanmackey5479]

I like this revolver so much I'm going to a gun shop in our little town tomorrow and ordering a Charter Arms "Bulldog" with a 3" barrel and chambered in .44 Special. And maybe even a Rossi R92 in .44 Spl/.44 Mag.

[@DavidNefelimSlayer]

For the money I’d just find a vintage S/W N frame $1100 will get you a fine legacy revolver. L frames on Gunbroker for 8-900. Different strokes. Good shooting, 11 pound double action is preclussive.

[@lessage760]

Really nice looking revolver sir and it shoots pretty good too thank you for a great vidio

[@SmoknJaysGarage]

Nice review. I have this with the birds head grip. Overall I really like it. But mine has 3 shots that are very notchy. It is currently back at Henry fir the second time, hopefully getting fixed this time. Although I think mine is the exception, as I have 8 Henry rifles that all shoot amazing.

[@Okietactical]

That’s a really cool gun 😎👍🏼

[@crackerms0100]

This guy keeps his reviews cool and not overly loud or boisterous. Plus being made in Rice lake Wisconsin. I could work there with an hour commute each way. But the deer in that area from experience, perhaps not

[@abramvenable9338]

Great review.

[@DougMcDave]

15 yard SA was nails. What a beautiful firearm!

[@user-bu2en3cl6s]

That's nice...if you have a .357 Big Boy carbine; not so much, if you have the .44. Get with it Anthony.

[@jamesdelong6401]

Beautiful revolver

[@AgeOfGiants]

That’s beautiful sidearm

[@T.A.B.Videos]

Nice lookin wheelgun

[@MasterChief0093]

I REAALLLY want them to make an “x” version of this gun with adjustable fiber optic rear and fixed fiber front sights. Opening up to third party sights. And being an “x” version maybe having a polymer grip and be all black. A work horse gun that you’re not afraid to scratch like the current model that is truly for collecting.

[@jerrydickerson1111]

I like it but I want it in a 6.5 in barrel and without the brass

[@Tom-cp6yj]

Kinda reminds me of the old Charter Arms 44 bulldog

[@KossoffFan]

I want one in .44 Special with a 5" barrel.

[@davidno1minton997]

Cool,gun

[@zaitcev0]

I wish they made a 9mm version with clips.

[@scottsmith4710]

Justin, I can’t wait until you review the new Sig Legions, the P320 AXG and the P226 X/Five. I hope Sig sends them to you soon buddy.👍

[@breaux2806]

I love everything about these revolvers except the barrel. I really want to have a custom barrel made that looks more like a Webley MKIV and a partial shroud for the ejector rod.

[@gphilipc2031]

The plunger tip should be brass too. But I like the looks.

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

If it were, it would have to be a screw-on piece, which could then get lost at the range. I like the idea of the look, but I think a single-piece rod was the way to go.

[@stonefree1911]

Good review. I have a few Henry's and like them a lot, but this one leaves me cold, esp aesthetically. It also cost as much as S&W and Ruger, but doesn't bring anything new to the table. Nice to see newer guns tho.

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

Thanks for the comment. I think it will find it's niche market and do well. Hopefully well enough to have some others offered too.

[@jimmieburleigh9549]

When does the 44mag come out?? Is the 357 capable of using moon clips to shoot 9mm??

[@andrewstephens7246]

I want one! I think I'm becoming a revolver collector. I still don't have one in 357

[@georgeaura]

What is, what looks to be a switch on the front of the trigger?

[@celebmrk9]

Looks like a real appropriate retirement gift for yours truly next year!

[@juliojames5986]

All good, like it…..shoots accurate….or was that the shooter 😂The brass amount is just right.👍🏻 Thanks

[@Chris_the_Dingo]

What's that switch inside the front of the trigger guard?

[@bobjohnson1633]

Screw attaching the trigger guard to frame.

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

Select fire. Shhhhh.

[@SmoknJaysGarage]

It is the cylinder release. Very convenient for cleaning.

[@Chris_the_Dingo]

@@JustinOpinionChannel 😂

[@Chris_the_Dingo]

@@SmoknJaysGarage ah ok...thanks

[@dirtyscoundrel2013]

Will it work with moon clips?

[@davidjirvin5410]

I don’t know I seen a lot of cast parts it seem like an a lot of machine marks more than I’ve ever seen on any of your other reviews I know you got a really good camera so you can really see up close it just seem like a lot of machine marks and cast parts that I’ve seen look at it yourself and tell me you don’t think the same thanks for your time😊

[@todddewell6314]

Thanks Justin!!

[@jamesday7344]

They should do a 1917 variant.

[@m17x4v7]

Suspiciously similar to the charter arms bull dog classic.

[@edwardprice140]

Good investment.

[@earldelsanto]

9:30 in what is that switch on forward side of the trigger gaurd? Don't tell me it's a safty? That's a deal breaker to me.

[@ChrisLoew]

I would buy a 22lr but nothing else, S&W has the rest on lockdown

[@totljag1]

Can u review a Tisas 1911 ?

[@earldelsanto]

Wish this guy qould turn up the volume a bit

[@nancyt7306]

Well, Justin, IMHO, It's Kinda neat as a sidekick for the 357 Carbine, Seems duly accurate, Quality build; But the practicality and broad appeal are missing, especially at the $900+ Price Point. They're playing in the Kinder, S&W, and Ruger League with a upscale Armscor or Taurus specimen. At 5-7 Hundred Bucks, It might dent the market, But as A Guy who owes the 357 Big Boy Lever, I'll pass, and get a Ruger Instead to compliment my Big Boy. Think "Henry Gambler" would have been More Appropriate Name!! Tom in Pa.🤨

[@talkingrock7011]

Wheel & semiautomatic what’s to like both

[@gew1898]

I love that GSD at the end. What’s his name?

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

Kuno (thanks for asking)

[@gew1898]

@@JustinOpinionChannel I would love to see more of Kuno in future videos.

[@markhickey153]

Hey how is Fritz doing?

[@scottdunn2178]

$900? No way, you could buy a vintage Ruger or even S&W .357 for less than that...

[@ianfinrir8724]

I've been seeing them for about $720, which is only about $100 more than I spent on my Taurus 608.

[@ObservingLibertarian]

2:35 Carpal tunnel?

[@nrd515]

I'm giving this a big "pass". It's ugly. When it makes a Ruger look good, it's pretty bad. I don't like the brass, the whole back end of the frame where the grip attaches looks like they forgot about it needing a grip until it was almost done being designed. It doesn't have to look like an S&W, Taurus, or Colt, but those are the standards for looks to most people. I own Dan Wesson, Pre-Lock S&W's, a Sarsilmaz 586 clone, and Taurus revolvers. I like my Henry rifle, but this gun is just a major turnoff.

[@doncrocker916]

They are selling for $700 to $900 dollars! Wy would I buy one for that price when I could buy any one of another brand for half the price?????

[@lon242]

Is this replicating any specific old revolver or is it an original design?

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

It's the first revolver from Henry, so it's a new design. Clearly, it takes some inspiration from others of that style and era.

[@paulmoss7940]

Man, not enamored on this gun very much. I think its ugly, unrefined, and priced high for what it is. All Henry's the trigger looks stuck out awkwardly. At the least they could have given it an adjustable rear sight and a guide rod shroud. Reminds me of an antique. I like the USA made and warranty. But its not on the same level as a S&W or Colt in my eyes.

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

"Reminds me of an antique" - this is the point I tried to make clearly in my video. This is a period specific design to compliment the lever-action carbines. I don't think they were out to make a Smith, Colt, or Ruger clone. It's a Henry.

[@joshuagibson2520]

I agree with a lot of your points. I also think the name is all wrong. It hints to being a . 44 or larger caliber. None the less, I am glad it's on the market and that they actually put it out. I'm also happy to see nice bluing and wood.

[@Chris_the_Dingo]

It's kind of got a S&W Model 10 vibe, or some of the H&R revolvers from the 1950s

[@joshuagibson2520]

​@@Chris_the_Dingomodel 10 was my first thought when I saw it as well.

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

@@joshuagibson2520 Good point on the name, and I agree. Would love to see them do a .45ACP moon clip version or a .44 Special. Doubt that frame would handle 44 mag.

[@joshuagibson2520]

Personally, I think they got the name all wrong on this one.

[@tomhenry897]

Too $$

[@larry1824]

Classic look 😅😅😅😅

[@FinalLugiaGuardian]

Is there a version of this gun that is made of stainless steel and that has adjustable sights?

[@earldelsanto]

Too spensive.colt or smith for this kinda money.

[@davidszigeti4952]

looks and features of cheaper revolvers but at pricing of premium revolvers.

[@drpc1976]

👉🇺🇾💨

[@earldelsanto]

Too bad it has the sliding bar hammer. Out of caracter for a gun that is period looking . First half of 20th century.

[@humpy936]

It’s butt ugly and overpriced!, any handgun in my opinion also needs checkering so you can get a firm grip. I’m sure there are those who would like this, I’m not one of them .

[@MyYTchannel.thenationalrazor]

I honestly wouldn't want a firearm named "big boy". Would make me feel funny to go to a Big Boy, strapped with a...Big Boy. I don't know if it's the redundancy but...

[@28highboy]

Not a fan of Henry firearms and the company has no relation to the original Henry rifle. Made in the USA is good and I wish them success, just not for me

[@dodgesportsman772]

950.00 for an ugly clunky.38.... no thx

[@keithhagler502]

It looks cheap. The finish and everything about it. Similar to those cheap revolvers from the 70's and 80's. Just being honest.

[@deniskozlowski9370]

Some people are claiming that this is a copy of the old Colt Lawman. But if you do your research it resembles a late 1970s Charter Arms Police Bulldog. Not the most inspiring weapon. That interchangeable front sight looks like a problem about to happen.

[@ST-zm3lm]

I just can’t get behind one of these in all honesty. As ugly as a Charter and expensive as a Smith in my opinion.

[@watchmestress4182]

I wanted to like this gun but its just UGLY, i see no reason to buy this over a Smith and Wesson which looks better and has more actual history. If it was a Single Action or a top break or a 45-70 anything besides this boring combination id be interested

[@yeedbottomtext7563]
