Henry…..how innovative, if it was 1900. Kinda like taking over 100 years to put a side gate on your rifles. Looks like an attempt from High-Point to design a revolver. So, someone is going to buy this travesty for over $900 instead of a S&W 686 for around the same price? No way. What do you want to bet that you have to load it from the muzzle?

They still don't have side gates on at least half their rifles either. I never understood why they took so long to add them either.

Because the original Henry rifles loaded from the muzzle and it set the modern Henry apart from all the other lever actions. It was not until people started really bugging Henry about it that they brought out the loading gates. Probably will never be on all models.
