I am gonna have to get me one of these... they are out of stock now but will let me know when available... check out the barrel... this is rather interesting.... I like it.............. but have not read any reviews on it... it appears very well constructed... This and a Henry are the next ones coming through my door... http://www.onpointsupply.com/cart.php?t ... ry_id=3394Appears to be very, very concealable, very reliable as a wheel gun but I bet it will "rock your world" on the recoil department............................ I can't wait.... of course, I will have to check it out but it looks awesome...
.357 cal.

They do appear to be well made, they are heavier than I expected for their size. I shot 6 rounds of 38 special in one. The recoil is.. different.. It pushes into the web of your hand quite a bit, but it feels different than a top barrel revolver. My wife is considering getting one if I ever find one that's available.

While you can stuff that one in your pocket, I don't believe it is that practical. I did by the Henry Golden Boy in .22LR and it is almost to pretty to shoot. The follow up and customer service with Henry is awesome! Well made, American made product. Next I will by the larger lever and install it.
That pistol is like the Mare's Leg, cool to look at, but just not practical.
You also have a Ruger SP101 if I recall, I also had one and sold it and wish I had it back!

PRACTICAL???? Yes, that Ruger is a really nice, I do want the Henry however....

My next purchase will be the Henry Big Boy in .45 long Colt to match my Ruger Vaquero.

Yep, the Henry is great... I just got a new catalog from them... I also have a Ruger .45 Colt... short barrel... (not the Vaquero version.. just the standard blued model)... quick draw holster (Western)... really fun to shoot...  The Henry .45 Long Colt rifle would be a much better choice over this little .357 monster.... Scott, you are always such a practical guy............. and a really fart smeller........... uh........... smart feller........   Now I have to say, I sort of like the Uberti version of this classic... did you happen to see the movie... 'Tom Horn"?.. I think he carried one of these.
