Henry Repeating Arms Revlr .357 Magnum 4" 6-Round Revolver

The Henry Revolver 357 Magnum 4" Birdshead is a modern interpretation of a classic platform built on proven double-action/single-action mechanics. Manufactured by Henry Repeating Arms, this 6-round revolver chambers both .357 Magnum and .38 Special ammunition, delivering a compact yet capable wheelgun suitable for defensive carry, ranch work, and sport shooting applications where a traditional profile and moderate frame size are preferred.

The 4-inch round barrel balances velocity development with shootability; in .357 Magnum, this length achieves meaningful energy levels while keeping overall length at 7.25 inches—manageable for belt carry and vehicle access. The revolver features a polished blue steel finish on steel construction, an American walnut birdshead grip designed for smaller to medium hands, and a fixed notch rear sight paired with interchangeable post front sights (high, medium, and low profiles included). Transfer bar safety prevents inadvertent discharge, and the screw-on post design allows for elevation adjustment without tools.

This revolver appeals to shooters seeking a DA/SA platform with a shorter sight radius and ergonomic grip suited to concealed carry, backup roles, or reduced-recoil training with .38 Special loads. The .357 Magnum/.38 Special dual caliber capability provides flexibility: practice with economical .38 Special rounds, deploy with .357 Magnum when maximum power is needed. At 2.81 lbs, the H017BDM is light enough for extended carry without excessive frame stress, yet heavy enough to manage recoil impulse effectively.

Revolver shooters and LEOs familiar with traditional double-action platforms will recognize the Henry's design lineage. The birdshead grip is distinct from standard service-size frames and suits users with smaller hands or those prioritizing concealability. This is a serious carry revolver, not a target pistol—reliability and repeatable point-shooting accuracy in the 7–15 yard range matter more than precision at distance.
