Henry homesteader?

[bearfutedninja]

Anyone fondle a henry homesteader in 9mm yet? A localish shop said they had one thought about going check it out.

Reviews are not looking too favorable on that one. I like the idea behind it, but it appears to have some teething issues.

Yea i saw that video. But i would rather peoples opinion on here rather than people getting paid to be controversial

More reviews on henryrifleforums.com. Maybe they got the bugs out of them. I like the Henry's looks and wood stock but I'll stick to my Ruger PCC that has worked the first time and every time. I don't recall ever having a jam with it using Ruger or Glock mags.

I have a pcc already it would just be novelty more than likely. Just cant justify the tag if it doesnt shoot

I watch a decent amount of the honest outlaw on YouTube. As far as gun YouTubers go I think he’s one of the more honest ones. I consider his opinion as well as James at TFBtv.

I like the wooden stock and it checks all of the boxes. I don’t have any personal experience on it and don’t know anyone personally who has. For me personally I don’t know if it’s worth the price tag if it’s not going to run as advertised. I like that it’s all made and assembled in the USA as well and Henry does have top notch customer service but I’d much rather it just run right out of the box.

I picked one up at my lgs and it seemed a little heavy for what it was.

I just picked one up and put 100 rounds through it. Solid rifle, no regrets. Field strips easily with a 1/8” punch and 1/8” hex wrench. Quality machining and finish. Will be a nice camp gun.

Looks like it would be fun to shoot. Kind of fills the void left by the Marlin camp 9

Read one "favorable" review. almost 4 inch group at 50yds....

Its a blowback 9mm pcc. Not my cup of tea. Long, heavy and under-powered, sounds like GM made it.

This just looks boring, but that is just my opinion. At least it takes glock mags.

Right… don’t do nothing for me… lol

The recoil web review is laughable,

Henry Homesteader 9mm Pistol Caliber Carbine [Hands-On Review]

Long known for their outstanding lever actions, Henry has introduced their second semi-automatic! A 9mm PCC that brings an old west vibe to a modern platform

www.recoilweb.com

With factory sights they get a 3.5" group at 50yrs... 7moa or so.

They take this $800 gun, put a $1200 can on it, and $100 sight rail and $200 red dot, at least they got down to 2" at 50yrs.

As setup they have about $2500 in this gun, I would gladly toss in another 1k to get a Korth revolver instead.

I mean if I was gonna carry somthing as a “home steader”… it deff wouldn’t be a 9mm carbine… I mean for what that does why not a ar15 and if you under gun restrictions why not the ol mini14.:.. but to be honest I’d just stick with an old trusty leveraction in a caliber I reload in … 45-70, 44mag, ect could easily be Minuit if pie plate at 100yrds with irons… by the time you have to start adding all that reddot, suppressor, sight rail, it’s not really in the homesteader category no more lol

The reviews all scream SHILL, even the one reddit review I found.

I just don't understand the draw. Or any scenario when this would be the best choice. I guess to each his own.

 

[jwheeler]

the draw is simply that it's another toy to play with.

 

[bearfutedninja]

Just liked the way it looks would be fun to plink and already had multiple mags. But not gonna bite the Bullet.

I like the way you think!
