Henry Repeating Arms H1 Bandit 22lr 18.5" 15-Round Rifle

The Henry Repeating Arms H1 Bandit .22LR 18.5" 15-round rifle delivers reliable rimfire performance in a compact, lever-action platform built for recreational shooting, small-game hunting, and tactical training applications. Designed for shooters who value durability, ease of maintenance, and dependable accuracy at practical distances, this rifle serves as an excellent training tool for firearm fundamentals and a capable small-game harvester. The .22LR cartridge's low recoil and minimal noise signature make this platform ideal for extended shooting sessions and skill development without hearing protection constraints in certain environments.

Henry's proven lever-action mechanics ensure consistent feeding and reliable extraction across various ammunition types, while the 15-round capacity provides sustained rate of fire for target work and training drills. The 18.5-inch barrel balances portability with velocity retention, critical for maintaining accuracy at extended ranges typical of .22LR shooting. At 6.25 pounds, the rifle remains maneuverable in confined spaces or extended handling scenarios, making it practical for both bench shooting and field applications where weight penalty matters. The lever-action design requires no external safeties or magazine changes for rapid follow-up shots, streamlining the shooting experience and reducing operational complexity during training progression.

Law enforcement and military personnel often select the Henry H1 Bandit for off-duty marksmanship maintenance, zero verification before primary weapon use, and low-cost high-volume training without ammunition budget constraints. Hunters leverage this rifle's inherent accuracy for pest control and small-game harvest in rural and suburban settings where larger-caliber discharge poses safety concerns. The rifle's proven reliability across commercial and specialty .22LR loads ensures consistent performance whether using standard velocity, high-velocity, or hollow-point ammunition variants, with no modifications required for ammunition switching or maintenance intervals.
