Henry Repeating Arms arrived in Indy last week with the company's first revolvers, a pair of throwback styled .357 magnums. 

The new Henry Big Boy series has been in the works for a while and the Wisconsin-based company has finally raised the curtain on the design, representing the first time a legacy American gun maker has entered the revolver market since Kimber debuted the K6 in 2016. 

Offered in two models, both featuring a 4-inch barrel and unshrouded ejector rod, the Big Boy will be available with both a square Gunfighter-style grip and a rounded compact Birdshead-style grip. Standard is a polished blued steel finish with brass accents and deluxe American walnut grips.

Using a double action/single action format, a transfer bar safety keeps the firing pin from striking a loaded chamber unless the hammer is cocked back and the trigger is squeezed. 

The MSRP on the new Henry Big Boy Revolver series is $928.
