RICE LAKE, Wis. – September 19, 2024 – Henry Repeating Arms, the world’s leading lever-action firearms manufacturer, is introducing its first-ever rimfire revolver named after the company’s flagship Golden Boy rifle and a new .410 shotgun for turkey hunters seeking a reliable platform to maximize the benefits of Tungsten Super Shot (TSS).
Introduced in 1999, the Henry Golden Boy remains one of the world’s most popular lever-action .22 rifles on the market today. Now, a sidearm companion is available with the Henry Golden Boy Revolver. Borrowing from the same bill of materials as its rifle counterpart, this 10-shot wheel gun features a deeply blued steel medium-size frame, genuine American walnut grip panels, and a highly polished brass backstrap and trigger guard.
The traditional double-action revolver has squared Gunfighter-style grips for maximum control (model H016GD) or a more compact, rounded Birdshead-style grip for better concealment (model H016BD). The 10-round cylinder features an innovative quick takedown button inside the trigger guard, making post-range cleaning and maintenance exceptionally easy.
Both models share a 4” round blued steel barrel and a familiar sight system composed of a fixed notch cut directly into the rear of the frame and three different screw-in blade sights to adjust for elevation. The MSRP for both Henry Golden Boy Revolver versions is $928.00.

The advent of TSS loads for .410-bore shotguns changed the game for turkey hunters, providing patterns and distances never seen from small-bore shotguns. The new Henry Single Shot Turkey Camo .410 Shotgun (model H015T-410) is purpose-built to maximize its effectiveness. Unique to the design of this shotgun are the fully adjustable front and rear fiber optics sights, the removable invector-style TSS choke, and a full helping of Mossy Oak® Original Bottomland® camo from buttstock to muzzle.
The break-action actuates with an ambidextrous bi-directional locking lever for loading and ejecting, and the 26” camo-dipped barrel is drilled and tapped to accept an optics base. The MSRP for the Henry Single Shot Turkey Camo .410 Shotgun is $780.00.
“It’s high time our flagship rifle had a bonafide revolver companion, and I’m proud to stamp the Henry name on what the team put together,” says Anthony Imperato, Founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. “Providing our customers with the most smiles per dollar is paramount to everything we do, and these new products deliver in spades, whether on the range or in the field.”

I was going to buy a Henry lever action rifle, but when I examined it in the gun shop, I was not impressed with the relatively course feel of the action or the overall handling and feel of the rifle. For the price, I expected a much more smoothly operating action. Fit and finish are very nice though. With that in mind, I probably will pass on this revolver also.
I have one on order bought at auction for 300 dollars under list price. I see it as a collectable. I am old enough to remember way over priced S&W guns in the 1970’s. Market drives all. An all metal 10 shot QUALITY revolver is very useful for us country dwellers. I might buy a second one to put away.
Even at a lower price this is a hard pass for me. I love Henry rifles but this gun has all the appeal of a skunk in top hat. I don’t mind Henry making revolvers, it’s potentially a good idea but the execution was really, really bad. You can’t expect people to pay $1k+ for a fixed sight revolver with an exposed ejection rod and poor ergonomics just because it has nice bluing and brass.
Exactly my thoughts also. My brother bought into the hype years ago for the golden boy rifle and it’s no better then the lower priced models. If this was priced at around $300 I would consider it based on the features but at $800+ is a total waste and you are wasting money on nothing more then a name.
I respect Henry for continuing to stick to it’s reputation of being a 100% American manufacturer, but I don’t expect this to be a hot seller. My gun shop people tell me that the centerfire revolvers Henry released look good on the shelf, but they sit there for quite awhile.
MSRP is $928.
I can tell this won’t be too hot a seller at that price.
