Wisconsin-based Henry Repeating Arms this week expanded its line of high-quality double-action revolvers with a new rimfire model.
The Henry Golden Boy Revolver, announced on Thursday, shares Henry's lever-action rimfire aesthetic, featuring a deeply blued steel medium-size frame, genuine American walnut grip panels, and a highly polished brass backstrap and trigger guard. Chambered in .22 rimfire, they accept Short, Long, and Long Rifle cartridges, giving the user a bit of flexibility.
The new wheelguns will be available in both a square "Gunfighter" grip as well as an option for a Birdshead grip, and they sport 4-inch round-profile steel barrels.
Medium-framed revolvers, the new Golden Boy wheelguns hit the scales at 36 to 37 ounces depending on grip shape, a weight that should just devour recoil. Sights include a fixed rear and an interchangeable front that ships with three different heights to allow users to adjust elevation – a trait shared with the company's Big Boy .357 revolver.
As the Big Boy revolver complements the Big Boy rifle in .357, the new Golden Boy revolvers pair nicely with Henry's classic Golden Boy rimfire lever guns.
"It’s high time our flagship rifle had a bonafide revolver companion, and I’m proud to stamp the Henry name on what the team put together," says Anthony Imperato, founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. "Providing our customers with the most smiles per dollar is paramount to everything we do, and these new products deliver in spades, whether on the range or in the field."
