A new Smith & Wesson like a model 686 will list for well over a grand in California. I think the MSRP for the S&W is now $979. The Henry should be a few bucks cheaper.
Henry is also a big advertiser on the Sean Hannity radio show. Henry makes great American made stuff. I love my Henry 357 Mag rifle with the brass receiver. It is the Big Boy Classic model, and it is my favorite and a real thing of beauty. The new revolver will go well with it. It is a double/single action revolver.
It is priced less than a S&W or a Ruger. Much less than a Colt. Henry makes top notch stuff. I am baffled why everyone keeps crying about the price? Their Big Boy revolver is an American made carbon steel, blued, double/single action revolver going after a retro look to pair well with Henry's Big Boy Classic lever action rifle. I own one of those Henry rifles in 357 Mag, and love everything about this new revolver.
Most people on here seem to think it is still 1973. The Smith & Wesson models 66 and 686 both have a current MSRP of $979. And in California gun shops add another $150-$200 to that price. I own both of those current production Smith & Wesson models and love them. The new Henry revolver will be joining them soon.
RIA revolvers in .357 run $699-$794 MSRP.
My Henry Big Boy Classic 357 Mag rifle blows away the modern competition, and at a better price. Winchester is now made in Japan and way overpriced. Hundreds more than a Henry and they have ancient designs. Henry has over two hundred firearms to choose from. Ruger will be making some Marlins again, and the new 336 will be $1300. It is a run of the mill 336. I know the Henrys will have a better fit and finish, better designs and better customer service. And they will all be made in America. You can get a Rossi cheap if you are into budget stuff like Taurus.
Rock Island is a step down from Taurus. I bet the new Henry revolver will be better built than the newer Smith & Wessons.
