@@SugarMilkbro, the .410 is so terribly underrated. I wish people would understand that and make it much more popular. It would make shells cheaper too! 🙂

[@SugarMilkbro]

@@Chilly_Billy oh I agree. They don't make nearly enough .410. It's been a real struggle finding it in anything bigger than 8 shot for the past 3 years

[@kentwilliams4152]

I have a special memory of being behind a good friend who had just stepped on a brush pile. A cotton tail rabbit squirted out of other side and Fred immediately fired an missed. In one smooth motion he ejected the spent casing and loaded another before firing a second shot. The part I have never forgotten is seeing that ejected casing arcing over Fred’s right shoulder followed by a smoke trail. That was indeed one pretty picture!

[@finaloption...]

I'm still using the H&R Topper .410 that I got for Christmas when I was 8yrs old. That was 50yrs ago and still looks new. Put a serious amount of food on the table and laid to rest many of pest. P.S. I still have the receipt for $42. 😁

[@thomasrees7276]

Nice. I got my Topper .410 when I was 8 also. It was my Dads when he was growing up. A few years later my Mom got me a 20ga Topper for Christmas and about 10 years ago when my Grandfather passed I got his Topper 12ga so Im keeping my eyes peeled for a 16ga Topper to complete the set. I love those single shots. Have brought home alot of game home with those. It taught me to make my shots count and I even have used the .410 and 20ga to shoot skeet with.👍

[@finaloption...]

@@thomasrees7276 That's awesome. A friend of mine has the 16. I used to sit in a duckblind on Green Bay in the U.P. hunting ducks for hours on end in the worst weather. My uncle would just shake his head as I brought down the ducks.

[@mlbowen6476]

Henry has really picked up the slack with single shot shotguns after H&R/NEF went under. They've also taken over the .30-30 lever action rifle market with the semi-demise of Marlin. We'll see how Ruger resurects it. Henry is proving they make quality platforms that are becoming more popular each day. I will be adding one to my own arsenal very soon. I just wish Marlin and H&R/NEF were still around because you hate to see any arms company go under and those were quality manufacturers too.

[@calvinsallee]

True but h&r did it better. Prettier more solid feeling, I have 3 h&r/nef guns in my safe rn & have my eyes on another

[@mlbowen6476]

@@calvinsallee I've got 5 and have owned 10 in the past 45 years and I totally agree. I just wish someone would buy the company rights and start producing them again.

[@smartacus88]

​@@mlbowen6476They did. Savage bought all the machinery and rights to produce the NEF single shot shotgun. They don't produce them in America unfortunately. The shipped all the production machinery to China, tweaked the design somewhat, and produce them there. They sell them un the U.S as the Stevens 301. Its actually a really good gun. The finish isn't as fancy as the old NEF produced guns, but they have removable chokes and an improved forend removal system.

[@maxpinson5002]

From what I understand, when Remington dumped H&R, the tooling was scrapped as well. Remington never really wanted to build working man priced lever guns or budget singles. They wanted those brands gone. That said, I use the old H&R's successfully for hunting and I'm not handicapped in any way by just having one round at a time. It'd be nice if Henry made a plain jane working man priced something, but that's not their way of doing things, and that's ok. At least they're not cutting corners like the corporate owned manufacturers

[@smartacus88]

A rifled barrel is NOT made to shoot regular"rifled" slugs. Rifled slugs are designed for smooth bores. A rifled barrel is made for sabot slugs.

[@sgt.nickel]

Yep. But I'm sure it works.. Not saying it's great for the gun.,, but it still works if needed. Kinda like people shooting slugs out a mod choke. It works but not good fornthe gun... like shooting steel 38 call ballbarings out a 44 mag shell in a .410 lol last one I mention is actually a awesome. 410 option..

[@matthewvassoff5736]

dude, I had a mossberg 5500 with a rifled barrel and it digested everything without a hitch for several seasons. It had 200 rounds to its credit when I sold it 15 years ago and is still puking lead rifled or not.

[@gaba8934]

Does Henry offer a smooth bore barrel with or without chokes? That would be nice to have with the slug barrel....

[@johnwurfel2862]

My accuracy suffered badly when shooting rifled slugs through rifled barrels. 50 yards was pie plate grouping. Sabot slugs reached over 200 yards before such degradation.

[@payres48]

I still have a Winchester model 37A in 12 gauge with a 30" barrel, 3" chamber and full choke and a brass bead sight. I bought it second hand around 1974 and have taken many rabbits with it. I took it to a trap shoot which got me into clay shooting. It still functions well although I don't really use it these days. I kind of kept it for sentimental reasons as it's the first firearm I ever purchased. Cheers from Australia.

At 13 years old I had a single shot 410. It made me make each shot count and after a few weeks of Bird huinting I could drop a Chucker at 30 yards almost everytime, I paid for my own shells, makes you take care with each shot!

[@donmiddleton1378]

The old single shot may be slower to load ins some cases but it takes longer to reload a pump after the tube is empty that it does a single single shot. You also have the advantage of locating your targets easier while reloading so you don't waste you limited amount of ammo. Just something for most folks to mull over.

[@evocati6523]

I always wanted a few of these single shots. There are plenty of cases where one shot is enough for the job at hand, or at least a slower reload is fine. They're just expensive, unfortunately. At least the Henry ones, there are other good brands that make single shots. Thanks for the video, Sootch!

[@sootch00]

Thanks for stopping by Brother!

[@NoTimeForThatNow]

Yeah they’re more expensive, but Henry makes a gun with great quality and a lifetime warranty. Others don’t even come close.

[@thomasrees7276]

If you keep a eye out, you can find H&R single shot shotguns for right around $100 used. I like mine and they are really well made and hold up.

[@PastorDanMoore]

Henry Firearms has a single shot turkey shotgun with iron sights. It comes with the turkey choke (probably X-Full). But you can use Remington style choke tubes in it. With the iron sights, you can use the smooth bore turkey gun for deer with slugs using the improved cylinder bore. And with the other chokes you can hunt other small game with the bird shot. Buckshot and regular shot would perform better depending upon the choke selected. The single shot slug gun is mostly for deer, bear, and hogs with slugs. For someone wanting to hunt small game, birds, turkey and deer (and on a limited budget) I would go with Henry's turkey gun. Great video by the way.

[@jackofalltrades7822]

You may be able to shoot birdshot or buckshot out of this rig but it is not recommended. It will pattern horribly and it has little to do with not having a choke. The rifling will spread the shot out due to the rotation and centripetal force. It's is like shooting birdshot shell out of a 22lr rifle and is the exact reason why Henry has a smooth bore 22lr called the Garden Gun. I would be curious how well it groups at 100 yards using a scope.

I have a youth model NEF .410 with a .22lr barrel, and because of its short length, it's an excellent truck gun, which is always in the truck with me when I'm out in the woods, or fishing, or whatever. Even harvested a small whitetail buck with it last year from 52 yards. It's a great little package that I'll never part with.

[@clambroth1923]

Love the single barrels. I have one of each: 1898 Forehand Arms 12 gauge 30" barrel: H&R 16 and 20 gauges. Bought the H & R's new for around 100 dollars apiece in 1992. Purists will call them junkers but they can be fired very quickly. With 2 (or 3) shells in the left palm and another 2 in the mouth/teeth I can blast off 5 or 6 shots in no time at all. I have an old (essentially new) Winchester model 1912 16 gauge pump that can be slam fired and which holds 7 shells. Got that from an estate of a collector for doing some legal work around 1985. It appears to have never been fired when I acquired it in 1985.

I own a nice old AYA Cosmos that was obviously nicely shortened by a gunsmith, to 24 inches many years ago.... the legal minimum here in the UK, before it has to go on a firearms license. It is now cylinder bore, but still can smash clays at reasonable ranges....which amazed me!! Its a great fun gun to shoot, has elegant lines and is really useful in the woods. I really do like the look of the Henry, but also wonder what the duribility of that take down pin will be long term, before it starts to become loose and falls out! Many older designs have a full hinge pin, which can be tightened, and a clip on and off fore end, to remove the barrel. The pin is very convenient in one way, but seems a weak link in the design for long term reliability.....

One of my favorite movie lines. From The Big Country. Rufus Hannassey: “Many times I’ve stood with only one shot between me and damnation.”

My first single shot shotgun is a Savage model 220, 20 gauge and have a 30-30 Win. Barrel and for grip model 219. Both interchangeable.

[@tommywills4891]

You know it's funny I had a single shot Stevens 12ga. I have my grand dad's old single shot 16ga with a 30in choked barrel it's over a hundred years old and still works.

I would love to see Henry make a decent double-barrel coach gun with hammers. Hard to find these days and not cheaper when you do. If I have to pay that kinda money, I'd like it to at least have Henry quality...

[@johnhirka654]

CZ Hammer coach. Unmatched for the price

[@chaburchak]

@@johnhirka654 I agree, those are nice Turkish shotguns, but not inexpensive. If Henry would offer one made in the US I'd definitely go for that first...

[@johnhirka654]

@@chaburchak would love both! We’ll see. This single Shot is pretty neat.

[@RayW808]

Always wanted a side by side 12 g from a reputable manufacturer, maybe Henry will be in my future...

My very first firearm was an H&R Topper 12 gauge 27 1/2" full choke purchased with paper route money at Coast to Coast for 60 bucks in 1982. Was always bummed I sold it. Going down the ol' nostalgia trail, I recently replaced it with a 1987 NEF Pardner in the same configuration. Fitted a Handi Rifle monte carlo stock including factory recoil pad and 1 1/3 lb removable weight found on Ebay. In the process of drilling and tapping for an EGW Picatinny scope rail. (same mount that fits the Henry, btw) It's going to get a Vortex Venom red dot and a host of Chazsel barrel inserts for a truly Handy "Handi Rifle". Can't wait to take it shooting clays with my buddy that's an east coast transplant and shoot against him with his high end over/unders just to see his expression. 🤔

For Eastern deer hunters using tree stands this would be great and using a scope that freaking slug gun is hell on deer. There are so many great sabots slug loads that increase range and lethal affect.

[@furmanmackey5479]

At long last, a Henry product I MIGHT be interested in IF it came in a package similar to old H&R "Handi" configuration that contained .410, .20, and 12 gauge barrels along with .30-30 .444 Marlin and .45-70 Government barrels. Love the ejector by the way! Not crazy about the iron signs Henry came up with though.

[@aaronfox5559]

My first gun (beside my BB gun) was a single shot 410. Don’t shoot it much anymore but good gun

[@bigdaddy5948]

My father bought me my first gun. It was a single barrel 16 gage Stevens. It was cheap and allowed me to get started hunting. Didn't need to justify anything. Best time in my life.

[@denniswilliams4296]

Wonder if you can get a smooth bore barrel along with the slug barrel to fit on the same stock? That would make it an "all purpose" hunting shotgun.

[@Morehills840]

Good review, I bought the smooth bore. Very good quality.

[@aririzaldi6189]

I love it when the cartridge comes out of the Chamber ❤️

[@paperman9708]

Love that tacoma regular cab short bed. I see there's screw holes to mount a rail. It would be cool to toss a little 4x on there or something. Would have been nice if you tested out some sabot slugs. That's where these rifled slug guns really shine IMO. The Hornady SST sabot slugs and the Brenneke Topas sabot slugs are fantastic out of a rifled barrel. Ideal for shotgun only hunting areas because the slugs seriously approach rifle accuracy and I'm not just saying that. 300gr projectile that's really flat shooting out to 200 yards.

[@kirkmooneyham]

I had an H&R 20 gauge when I was a kid. I went on hikes all through the surrounding ranchland where we lived. It got sold later after I joined the USAF and couldn't take it with me to my first duty station. Wish I still had it. I wanted one of these Henry shotguns. The price wasn't even the factor, though, it was the lack of availability. Just couldn't find one. Had to settle for a Turkish double.

[@CTPark-so5sk]

I have a Rossi, single shot , rifled barrel slug gun I bought in 2004. It is deadly accurate at 100 yards. Recently my County has opted for allowing use of Rifles. So, the slug gun has been retired unless I should ever hunt the next County to the east. I guarantee had they not allowed use of rifles, I'd be in the market for this Henry. The rifle I use, by the way is a Henry H009 30 30. Hahaha
