I’ve watched a few videos of reviews/ tests. One guy shot it with 38 Specials but never showed the target, just said it did pretty good. Another one shot a group at 7 yards that was like four inches, again 38 Specials. It always bugs me that most people testing a 357 Magnum shoot 38 Specials, with maybe one cylinder full of 357s. All of them seemed like they were not trying to say anything bad about it.

Sometimes, .38 Specials do better.... One time a fellow I was shooting with had an SAA clone (I forget the brand), in .357. Shooting standard .38s, (158gr @ 850fps) it was dead on and very accurate. 4 different shooters, identical results. Switching to .357s, every shot was 2 feet low and left. 4 different shooters, identical results.  As for the Henry, I think if they had chosen ONE historical style and gone for the nostalgia market, they might have something. They didn't, the gun is a blend of styles, and that just doesn't work for me.

I like it. One day I’ll buy one. Just cause I like firearms, both to shoot and to accumulate (can’t really call the assortment that I have a collection).
I’m particularly glad to see an American manufacturer designing and introducing new designs. If nothing else, it agitates the anti-2A crowd. |
