Mares Leg 12.904 44 Magnum 6-Round Blue finish Revolver

The Henry Repeating Arms Mares Leg 12.904 In 44 Magnum Blue 5+1 offers a unique platform for those seeking a compact, high-caliber lever-action firearm built on a legendary heritage. Originally popularized as a cut-down rifle, this modern iteration serves as a powerful sidearm or a specialized utility gun for users who demand serious stopping power in a maneuverable frame. Its classification as a handgun allows for easier transport in environments where a full-sized carbine would be cumbersome or restricted. This firearm fills the niche between a traditional revolver and a full-length lever gun, providing a stable shooting platform without the bulk of a shoulder stock.

Engineering on the H006ML focuses on reliability and smooth operation, featuring a blued steel receiver and a 12.904-inch barrel chambered in the hard-hitting .44 Magnum cartridge. The lever action provides a fast, tactile cycling process that remains consistent under stress, while the 5+1 capacity ensures sufficient volume for various field scenarios. For precision, the firearm is equipped with a fixed front sight and an adjustable rear sight, allowing shooters to dial in their point of aim based on specific load ballistics. The solid construction and overall weight of 6.8 lbs help manage the recoil of magnum rounds, making it more controllable than many lightweight handguns in the same caliber.

This firearm is an excellent choice for backcountry protection, ranch work, or as a distinctive addition to a tactical collection where manual action reliability is prioritized. The compact length makes it ideal for stowing in tight spaces, such as vehicle cabs or scabbards, while still offering the ballistic advantages of a longer barrel than standard revolvers. Users will benefit from the inherent versatility of the platform, as it is capable of firing both .44 Magnum and .44 Special ammunition for varied recoil levels. Whether for personal defense in remote areas or as a specialized utility tool, this Henry lever-action handgun delivers performance and durability in a proven package.
