Is there any reason to believe they wouldn't perform as well or better than a Ruger if not a classic Smith? Is Henry still a based company or did they go to shit like everything else?
>revolvers are bad
I don't care for the opinions of homosexual furries
I've got nothing against Henry as a company, but this is a brand new product and Henry has never made revolvers before, so I'd expect the usual hiccups that come with anything new like that. I doubt they'll be junk but I see no reason to expect they'll be better than average let alone better than old-school S&Ws.
this shit looks bad and the fact this made it into production means the designers dont actually shoot revolvers.
>$1000 msrp
>for charter tier fit
bluh
its not the bad fit its the swell blocking the cylinder release and the stupid fricking hole being exactly where you dont want a hole.
you wont find those features on any other revolver because its a bad idea. well youll find worse on target grip revolvers that enclose most of the hand but those are exceptions.
Yes, of course, but it just goes to show the lack of thought put into the execution of the piece.
It really does look a bit like the older gen Bulldogs.
It's cost cutting anon
horrible ergonomic design choices isnt cost cutting
What am I missing? Those look like design cues I'd expect on a mid–late 1800s gun, which is clearly what they're going for.
Nothing.
He's an idiot claiming the grip will interfere with the cylinder release. Also somehow thinks it's possible to grip high enough that the screw hole will hurt the hand.
>He's an idiot claiming the grip will interfere with the cylinder release.
it wont stop you but its enough to be annoying
>Also somehow thinks it's possible to grip high enough that the screw hole will hurt the hand.
hurt no annoy yes.
no other revolver has anything there. that area being smooth matters.
Not him, I agree that the hole will probably be an issue but not the grip

Hating on kel tec is a meme for homosexual YouTubers and fudds.
Nothing like being able to see the internals without taking the sideplate off.
I'm not really confident in how much .357 this thing will be able to eat before the timing fricks off. When they say it's chambered for .357 they probably mean mostly .38 Special and a few .357s now and again.
It's nice to see anyone besides Armscor making a 4" standard "Service style" revolver though. I'm interested to see the instruction manual and a video review on it.
Those are reflections you blind noguns frick. Do you think it's just a paper skin over the gun? Those gaps aren't even 90 degrees, revolver side plates are tapered and are 1/8" thick, it would be physically impossible to see through the gaps from a perpendicular angle even if it were cracked open.
God damn why do the dumbest motherfricking 16 year olds even post when they have literally no idea what's going on on planet earth? Lurk for another 10 years dipshit.
Oh, have you seen these guns in person?

Thanks bro, I like working on them too, that square butt needed a new cylinder stop fitted, replacement ejector rod, and a bunch of shims to tune it up when I got it. Sucks about all the hand fitting required but damn does it shoot good after being repaired. It's import marked so no telling where it's been, probably some police or security guard service overseas, maybe I'll get a factory letter for it some day.
If you haven't tried them yet you might check out safariland speedloaders they seem to be a step up from HKS.
Cringe
They need to frick off with the "Brass" frame shit. Either make it steel or black anodized aluminum, and put some fricking checkering on the grips.
>They need to frick off with the "Brass" frame shit.
I really like the brass backstraps as they suffer less from sweat and I like the look.
>black anodized aluminum
You are just b8ing right? Frick no.
I just feel like the look is wrong for a DA revolver with a swing out cylinder. Sure it's fine on SAAs and black powder stuff but this design is at least early 1900s.
No, what's wrong with aluminum? Plenty of gun parts are made from it.
>No, what's wrong with aluminum? Plenty of gun parts are made from it.
It's weak so best for thick, lightly stressed non-wear components.
Brass is stronger and doesn't tend to become brittle so it's superior to aluminum for parts not strictly requiring steel. Disregard everyone not a machinist, welder etc because those who do not work with metal cannot understand its properties but merely repeat words.
>best for thick, lightly stressed non-wear components.
Sounds like a grip frame. The entire frame (including the grip) on my J-frame is made from aluminum. I carried it for 5 years and it didn't fall apart so yeah I'm thinking it would be fine.
am machinist
>muh aerospace aluminum!11!!!
Remember not all aluminum is created equal. 6000 and 7000 series aluminum can be as strong as steel and brass (i know there are stronger steels and brass alloys). Sure brass wont snap like aluminum but as long as its strong enough there's no problem. Its lighter and cheaper so seems like a good material for use in gun parts.
That being said im not mad at the brass backstrap. I like the look of the brass framed black powder revolvers but ive read some people have problems with the frames stretching over time. The frame on the Henry seems to remedy this problem by the stressed areas being made from steel.
I thought henry had some weird brass mixture, or brass-looking material anyway, that performed much better than actual brass.
Brass is an alloy anyway there's probably a lot of ways to make it a ton better than it was in the 1860s
Brass frames are classic and don’t get fricked up when you grab them like blued steel does.
That’s just wrong. Pocket revolvers like the S&W J frame are great.
>you can’t make frames out of aluminum
Around the grip it would be totally fine, you could even use polymer, but unless it was beefier around the cylinder then the aluminum will stretch and the gap between the cylinder and barrel gets too big. But you could make a stronger and lighter frame out of aluminum versus steel, it would just need to be chunkier.
>Chink made
They’re not.
>swell blocking cylinder release
It’s not
>hole exactly where you don’t want a hole
Why? That’s just where the brass screws into the steel and doesn’t impede the grip. The Single Action Army has two screws there.
>The Single Action Army has two screws there.
a saa has a plowhand grip and is a single action. its not the same.
>that little switch in the trigger guard
?
That's the full auto selector, moron
I suspect it's a release for the crane so you can remove the cylinder. They haven't posted the manual yet so I can't be sure though.
I said it last henry shill thread I saw too, Henry has been fricking up. I've seen a number of QC problems from them since the pandemic started. Bluing salts left on guns, poor sight fitment, and a number of broken stocks. Pic related happened as soon as the customer picked it up out of the box, he ordered it straight from Henry. Now, their CS is top notch, everything I've seen has been fixed eventually, but I have my doubts on a brand new offering.
I wonder if it's because their staff are becoming browner
>going to customer service because your chink made cowboy gun broke in half when you picked it up
Much like the "temples" littered throughout japan, All modern culture is just corporate mirage to sell you junk
Sean Hannity and Donald Trump would never lie and can literally do no wrong, same as Henry and as Israel
He'll yeah borther, these liberal PANSIES just need to TOUGHEN UP and be REAL MEN like we were back in our day! None of these pansy smartphones, social media or made up pronouns I tell ya what???
OBUMMER screwed everything up for this generation!!!!!

It looks like a High Standard revolver, just in .357 instead of .22. I would happily give $500 for it, but not a cent more.
There is no place in the modern world for a full size revolver that isn't optics ready out of the box or has less than a 6" barrel.
I'd be perfectly fine with all of this for a lower price tag.

Looks like a prettier version of a New England Firearms/H&R revolver. Except that those were budget guns that cost about 1/3 the price of a Ruger or S&W.
Jesus Christ that looks hideous
I actually really like that utilitarian "hunk of metal carved into the rough shape of a gun" sort of no frills look.
Yeah, it has that SNS appeal of just seeing how low people can go before it stops being a gun and is simply a hunk of metal
For a 5-shot in .32 H&R magnum it wasn't a bad pocket gun at the time.
Don’t at all like the exposed ejector rod.
Old Colt Cobras had those, and when they bent, you were fricked.
This looks like absolute hot garbage.
If they were getting into the revolver business I'm not sure why they wouldn't produce something like a Colt 1871/72 or some other revolver of the same vintage instead of this armscor looking garbage.
I can get over the goofy design of the revolver, but those sights are atrocious for a $1,000 gun.
are bad
>I don't care for the opinions of homosexual furries
Now that you've mentioned it; I've seen people post 6 or so ARs/Asks/BRs/pistols with furry porn or bad dragon dildos but I've never seen anyone post many revolvers with those. I think you're actually onto something here
