I hope they're well made with usable triggers. I think there's a place in the market for an H&R equivalent.
For that matter, chamber it in 32 H&R with as many holes as will fit in that cylinder.

Wow! didn't notice the $1K price tag first time I looked at it . Tough sell at that price for a simple if not a bit ugly .357 with fixed sights .

Agreed, $928 MSRP seems pretty optimistic for that offering to me...We'll see what the actual real world price is when they hit the dealer shelves.

I assumed that was a $350 MSRP gun meant to be a grown up Ruger Wrangler. I rescind my former comment about H&R and predict these to be on closeout at Buds for $449 in the near future.

I started to post and deleted it. Sorry, but this guy's off the rails, offering a Wrangler/RIA/H&R/Charter Arms-like revolver for what you could get a Kimber or Colt. Not that I want a Kimber or Colt, but they look much more refined than this and I am a big fan of not-so-refined, not necessarily beautiful (inexpensive) DA revolvers.
I had to double-check the calendar! Nope, THAT was two weeks ago.
I know, harsh, but c'mon, man, seriously? I was excited until I saw an MSRP twice the MOST I'd consider spending on that. But then, the Ruger LCRs and LCRXs were pretty inexpensive at first, but now go for almost as much as an SP101.
Really, I don't have to buy one and anyone should buy what they want - none of my business, NORMALLY, but that price evoked such a shock that I found it difficult to try to be too sweet about it.

Fellows, I have to agree...
When I first saw this, I expected $400-450. But, $900+ is simply insane.
It definitely looks similar to the Old H&R Revolvers that were the cheapest available.
I'll look and move on. My sights are set on a King Cobra Target 22LR for the same price...

That is an unattractive revolver.

I was excited that it was a .357 until I saw the price. Waaay out of line. Same thing that keeps me from the Homesteader in favor of my Ruger PCC, I just feel they’re priced above the market. At least my market.

I wish they'd focus on making the rifles that are already in their catalog. They'd sell some of the All-Weather lever guns if there were any to be found. Seems like everything but the entry level .22's is a short run, or just a photo in the catalog.
My local guy couldn't find any Henry rifles at all for Christmas sales this past year.

Wow! Did not see that coming. Not from a company like Henry. I don't think they could've designed an uglier revolver. And priced over $900?? That's a hard "no".

Double "Hayyelll naw". That looks like a trotline weight with a big price tag.
