Henry Homesteader 9mm Carbine Review

Here's Henry Repeating Arms Homesteader. Their first Semi-Auto rifle and has all the Henry quality. It's in 9mm and has a blow-back design. Comes in either Glock, Sig/S&W or Henry's proprietary mag wells. Beautiful and handy rifle for Home Defense, the Range or Pest Control.
👍Thanks to Henry for sending the Homesteader for the review and Fiocchi for supplying the ammo. We also want to thank Otis Technologies for their help.

Glad they are bringing back the marlin camp 9

[@tk423b]

In a regular world I should be able to drive 10 minutes away and pick this up at more than one sporting goods store. Now it’s a damn project.

[@debmacknife]

I got mine last week. Shot it and absolutely love it, a really fun gun to shoot. Very accurate and I am very pleased with it.

[@BigHeinen]

This reminds so very much of my early 90's (pre-Clinton assault weapons ban) Marlin Camp 9. It accepted all S&W 9mm mags of that era and 30-shot mags are still available for this rifle. The safety on the Henry is much easier to work with IMO. I still have that Marlin Camp 9 and the S&W 915 pistol to this day.

[@2AstaccatoP]

Honest outlaw did a review on this gun and had nothing but problems with it. He got the one with the Henry mags.

I bought a garden seeder a couple years back. All the KZbin videos just kissed the ground it walked on. Best product ever..... Bought it put it to work and it was junk right from the word go.

@GunGirl1997 the standard PC Carbine looks close to this gun, it just has black polymer furniture. And it's hundreds less. Plus it's a takedown model so it will fit in a backpack.

Remember the marlins in 9 mm and 45 acp ,back in the 80s , some of the other police officers carried them in their patrol cars,almost bought a 45 version, but. I carried my m-1 carbine when on patrol and it was nice to have it if the situation came up

A lot of Police carried the Ruger Police Carbines as well. The PC9 .PC4. Before AR15's came the norm

Sootch, you are the BEST at assembly / dis-assembly. Explaining the take down and assembly for everyone! Thanks. This is a cool gun. I am going to get one. Why? I want one.

[@Just1American1966]

Nice to see these dropping into the $750-800 price range from the $1100+ it came out to. Looks like a good alternative to the Marlin Camp Nine, a discontinued model that I have been kind of craving.

[@theeasternfront6436]

$720 at my local store

[@Just1American1966]

@@theeasternfront6436 Is that with either the Glock or Beretta magwell adaptors, or just the two Henry magazines? Even without, I'd probably still walk out with one at that price.

Thanks Bob! Yes, so easy to access.

[@zaitcev0]

@@sootch00 I'm a bit disappointed TBH. Because Henry copied the AK fire control, the gun cannot be charged with the safety engaged. But Ruger PC can, and it is helpful. It's a good that it's ambidextrous from the factory.

It really looks like my Daisy 880😂

[@laurachutchison9604]

Nice! I love the more traditional wood look. Thank you for posting this video.

[@Captain_Bad_Bill]

Thus is the 5th review I've watched. Two were incomplete because the charging handle was not delivered. One had jamming issues with the Henry mags and complained he couldn't fully load each one, and one had issues with the Glock mags. The last one was complaining of the hollow front grip (was aware of the works inside it). Yours was the first one to show a full breakdown of the gun for cleaning. Oh, one of the other reviews stated that fully loading the Henry mags became easier after repeated use. Each one added more to the story. Thank you!

[@rickbourne1376]

Henry is doing a great job making quality rifles and shotguns Made in the USA. Lever action rifles, shotguns, but are so Americana.

[@KungFuTweety1]

You are 100% spot on with having rods handy for those "moments " on the range when everyone else forgot their kit and needed some help . Good to have a check list most weekend shooters forget this along with med kits also. Great video, nice firearm.

[@gabrielchavarria22]

I need this in 10mm! ASAP

[@fishtwo1]

IMO thats a very nice, classic looking rifle with modern touches. Where I live there is almost a cult following for the old ruger deerfield 44mag semi auto rifles. Not sure why ruger stopped production, but I think henry would have a winner if they made the homesteader chambered in 44mag or 357/38.

[@hanc37]

My first thought was 9mm in a carbine rifle? I'd want a 44mag/357mag minimum. We have a lot of wild hogs around here and have seen a boar get nailed with a 168gr. 308 and get up and walk away. I think a 9mm would just piss it off...

[@krookpd01]

Just said we been screaming for a .357 PCC for a long time,,,, Henry should be the one to bring that to us,,,,Ruger quit listening

[@howard2374]

@fishtwo & Ruger: I have the Ruger 44 and hunt deer with it in Ohio. It's a great field firearm. Ok, so it's internal magazine only holds 4 rounds, +1 in the chamber. I concur that if Ruger re-introduced this fine firearm both the sportsmen and Ruger would be well served.

[@556suppressor]

I already have an AR9 that cost me under $700. Uses 20 and 30 round Colt style magazines.

[@Iceaxehikes]

I love Henry rifles and own more than one. I wish they would finish and blue their barrels and receivers better. For the price, i think a extra polishing and deep blueing is appropriate.

[@JonJonGTA]

Personally i don't think $1,000 is considered affordable to most people. If its affordable for you congrats on your wealth. But its definitely not versatile especially when compared to a ruger pc carbine. It's definitely versatile for a fudd gun 😂 if you put it that way.

[@RealDeanWinchester]

I'll be buying one. Moving some of the bolt mass under the forearm was genius.

[@jpoppinga8417]

@Jonathan Especially when you consider that for $1k, you could build an AR. $1k is a lot for a wood stock and a hyped up name. Fudd gun is a good name for it.

[@13BravoBiggunsM110SP]

Like the Marlin carbine's and the Henry carbine, worked in law enforcement back in the 80s and some Deputies and officers carried them and later in 40 s&w , some LEOS carried mini 14 , always wanted one of the mini 14 or the 40 carbine, but I did carry my m1 carbine in my patrol car and several 15 round magazines and 30 round magazines with jsp and fmj loads 2/ 15 round on the stock and a 30 round in the carbine with 3 extra 30 round and 2 15 round magazines and 150 rounds of ammo in the case, standard sidearm was a 357 magnum revolver, and 12 gauge shotgun, and not all officers had a carbine, but a 30 caliber carbine was a excellent asset and alternative to have when on patrol, especially when working the night shift and back country roads, and a revolver and shotgun might not be enough 🤔

Me too. I have a 1997 vintage Ruger PC4.....fantastic home defense weapon...and I like 9MM too. so lots of choices out there. The Homesteader would be a great all around plinker and home defense carbine as well imo

[@HermitagePrepper]

Handsome rifle. Very no nonsense appearance and configuration. Unfortunately I have seen some bad reviews due to malfunctions

[@1977Yakko]

Glad there's a P320 option for it. The Keltec and Ruger options for this firearm type don't offer that to my knowledge. This Henry is a bit more pricey that the other option but the quality seems more rugged.

[@RangeRoninChronicles]

It somewhat reminds me of the Marlin 9mm Camp Rifle that was made in the days of yore.

[@billwiley7216]

Biggest advantage in my eyes with the wood furniture non tactical look is in certain situation the Henry would draw less attention as it looks more like a traditional hunting weapon. The break down feature on the Ruger is handy for putting it in a backpack for sure but I see no reason that Henry could not design a takedown version while retaining the non tactical look if they wanted to. Now if they would just make one in .45 acp that uses 1911 magazines.

[@westcoaststacker569]

I believe the problem would be Henrys strange recoil system. I agree, I would like to see a .45acp version. I bought my friend the Marlin Camp-45 back in 86 for his 21st Bday to go with his 1911 series 80. He had bought me a .357 lever action for mine earlier that year.

I have been looking into this rifle as it fits a lot of categories for me. I would buy a 9mm but I wish it came in other calibers. Have you seen the new Henry pistols?

[@sgtmajtrapp3391]

Now while the 9mm is cheaper to shoot this would be even better in .38 Super or .357 SIG but best of all the 10MM. Neat and well done firearm. It could be a good house gun for defense or in a bit more potent caliber like the 10mm a good close range brush gun for hogs. This reminds me some of the Winchester 1907 .351 or 1910 .401

[@Icutmetal]

100% agreed on the 10mm
