Who It’s For

The Henry H17 Big Boy Deadeye is for the shooter who appreciates the simplicity of a single-action revolver but wants modern safety features and reliable metallurgy. It fits well in the hands of someone who already owns a lever-action Henry in .357 Magnum and wants a matching sidearm for the range or the field. It also appeals to the collector who actually shoots their firearms. If you are a reloader, this revolver is forgiving with bullet profiles and overall cartridge length, which means less time fiddling with seating depth and more time on target.

• Revolver enthusiasts who want a durable, accurate shooter
• Lever-action owners looking for a companion revolver in the same caliber
• Shooters who prefer a single-action platform with a transfer bar safety

This is not a lightweight carry piece, but it carries well on the hip in a good belt holster. The henry h17 big boy deadeye revolver is also a strong candidate for cowboy action shooting or just a weekend at the gravel pit. It runs clean, and the action smooths out noticeably after a couple hundred rounds.
