Henry Homesteader, who is getting one?

After owning the Ruger PCC for a year, the only advantage of this type is that when traveling we need only one kind of magazine & cartridge for several defensive weapons.

I don’t minimize the value of that commonality.

The regular AR’s are as easy to handle, have better ballistics, and are more readily customizable.

One complaint: I surely wish that Ruger hadn’t put their big red logo on the outside of the take-down carry case ! Some hotels don’t like guns, but when I can’t avoid them, I carry it anyway.

The MSRP on the Henry ‘’Homesteader’’ seemed way too high for me.

Some of the newer ‘’folders’’ look interesting.

On my way in to buy the Homesteader W/ the Glock Magwell at Cabellas. Love the look, next up in a few days the Ruger PC Backpacker in FDE. PICS COMING SOON.

Hope yours works better than Honest Outlaw’s.

Did you see HO's opinion of P320? Seriously, that man lol.

Did you see the video of his new out of the box Homesteader failing at every turn. Then the second chance video after he got it back “fixed”?

And no, did not see his opinion on the 320 because it is not a gun I am even remotely interested in.

Henry makes good lever guns. They should stick to that market.

For every HO critical review there are several very good reviews. Don’t much focus on him. I’m dying to get my Homesteader on the range tomorrow morning. Feels great looks even better.

Anyone that has even a remotely positive opinion of the 320 is suspect.

Love my Homesteader, a precise plinker at 25+yards. Comfortable and absolutely no failures. She’s a beauty!

Homesteader 9mm | Henry Repeating Arms

With the brawn of a workhorse and the beauty of a show pony, the Homesteader delivers versatility like few other firearms can, effortlessly going from bedside protector to varmint patrolling ranch hand and back again at the end of the day. Don’t let all that work trick you into thinking it’s all...

Can you say how large that plus sign is?

My Homesteader seems reliable, but I only tested it at an indoor range. It remains to be seen how it behaves when it's freezing and out in the elements.

Since we're at it, do you notice ... anything ... unusual:

Rear peep sight?

 

[zaitcev]

Rear peep sight?

Close, but no, it's the sight with which it came out of the box.

I suppose I might've asked for too much. In case of AR-15, someone can immediately say, "this is a Magpul grip" or "this is a B5 stock". But Henry is too uncommon, people cannot tell without comparing painstakingly with the official photos.

Also, I didn't assign a prize.

I'm attaching the same image in a better resolution.

Is that a 10 round Beretta mag?

 

[zaitcev]

Is that a 10 round Beretta mag?

It's an old M9 pattern 15 round magazine, before they were replaced with "sand resistant" mags that have a thin crease. These 15-rounders only had the oval indentation that you can see, which straightened the spring as it compressed. The 10-round magazine has a similar large indentation, which extends almost the whole length of the side. I have all of these major types of Beretta 92 magazine in the library, as necessary for the development.

No bayonet lug?

Looks like a lefty.

 

[pfflyer55]

Manual Lock back lever is on the left, So lefty is the answer!

I generally like Henry rifles but that thing looks like a cross between a rifle and a mailbox.

But at least Henry is not afraid to use wood in thier guns.
When the Ruger PCC came out I was disapointed that Ruger had not only used a plastic stock, but a butt ugly one at that.
I said at that time that if Ruger would do one in wood, I might be tempted.
I have not bought the Homesteader, mainly because I don't really see a need for a 9mm carbine, but at least it looks better than the original Ruger PCC.

Agree very much like the look with the wood.
