For the money today we're going to be looking at henry's new x-guns when you think of a henry rifle or a henry shotgun you really don't think home defense firearm but now with their new x-guns they make a very good choice this particular one that is in my hands is chambered in 38.

Special and also 357 magnum you do have your synthetic stock with your m lock on the side it does have a pick rail on the bottom so you can mount a flashlight this is threaded 5 8 by 24 and you can thread a suppressor on of your choice this particular one that i have on here now is an atlas defense.

Pylum and it can handle 38 specials and all the way up to 357 magnum the rifle holds seven rounds it does have your sling mount so you can mount you a sling and it does have a rubber butt pad that helps protect your shoulder the barrel is 17.4 inches long and the twist rate.

Is 1 in 16. overall length is 36.3 inches you have fiber octave sights on the front and also on the rear and the rifle comes in weighing just a little over seven pounds one of the great things about the x guns is that they're threaded now this particular one that i mentioned before.

Is chambered in 38 357 they also make them in 45 colt and also 44 magnum let's do some shooting and you're going to see how quiet this setup is with the suppressor firing regular 38 specials let's go out at 100. foreign.

In my hands is the all-weather 4570. the 4570 round has been around for a long long time a lot of people enjoy the 4570 because of its versatility now you can load light cowboy action loads in it you can load some black powder loads you can also.

Load loads that are pretty hot that you can use to take pretty much any big game animal in north america i myself love the 4570. here recently this past spring i was able to take my first big game animal with the 4570 cartridge the barrel on this rifle is 18.43 inches long.

It does have a brass speed front sight and it is equipped with the buckhorn side on the rear this rifle is sporting the hard chrome finish this is what sets this rifle apart this will allow you to take this rifle out hunting.

Or as a truck gun in the old saying you know you can ride them hard and put them away wet this is what they meant by this rifle henry did not shy away from having wood furniture on their rivals this rifle it does have wood furniture on it but it has a special coating to.

Help keep out the elements the magazine holds four rounds and this is my favorite part of the video now these particular rounds that i'm using are 300 grain hollow points it does hold four rounds and i've got some three litter soda bottles down here that i need to take care of.

All right eyes and ears are on here we go  all right let's get the one on top of the target right there wham all right let's get this guy right here pretty close it just obliviates it all right that one on the ground it's.

Not going to get away from us  oh that never gets old never ever gets old all right in my hand i have the henry big boy now the henry big boy has been out for several years now and it is the staple of the henry rifles.

When you go into a gun shop you automatically recognize ar-15s ak-47s and looking at this brass receiver you immediately identify it as the big boy another feature of the big boy henry rifles is that they are sass approved they have.

Long been respected among the single action shooters and their sport the big boy is currently chambered in three different calibers the 357 the 44 and also the 45 colt now you can shoot 38 specials in the 357 and 44 specials in the 44 magnum all the henry big boys sport.

A 20 inch octagonal barrel and all of them hold 10 rounds all of the big boys are drilled and tap at the top of the receiver where you can mount your choice of optics i currently have the 357 in my hands i'm firing some 38 specials.

Let's shoot some targets downrange let's start close let's go across the creek a little bit at 50 yards nice click it's a really good shooter a really fun shooter now let's take a look at the 44 magnum now.

I've got the 44 mag in my hands we all know that the 44 mag packs a punch and i'm shooting some 240 grain hollow points let's have some fun with some targets down here at the range whoa well there went that shaving cream all right let's go down here to some sodas.

Shot underneath it oh yeah shot to the left of it there we go all right let's go down here on some steel man that 44 mag all right there's a some shaving cream right there on the ground.

I thought he was going to get away oh i nicked it another x gun that we need to talk about is henry's 410 x gun it's just like the 38 357 that i was shooting earlier still has your pick rail it has your m locks on the side your sling mounts but this barrel is a.

Little under 20 inches long and it does have in vector style choke tubes so you can replace the chokes of your choice it is chambered in two and a half inch 410 and the great thing about home defense or out in the field is the options of a 410.

You can fire bird shot through them you can fire buckshot through them and you can even fire slugs in my opinion this is one of the handiest shotguns that henry has made it's very light so you can take it out in the field for your rabbit hunts or your bird hunts but it does make a good option for.

Self-defense like all of the henry x guns they are side loading gate you guys wanted that and henry delivered but i've got six rounds of two and a half inch seven shot let's put some shots on still click as you can tell with the x gun this isn't your traditional henry henry.

Has come a long way and they have listened to you guys your feedback in making the side loading gate x guns you wanted something that was chambered in 44 45 and also 38 357 that was threaded and a side loading gate and henry delivered now whether you're using this for home defense or you want.

To take it out in the field your henry will get it done you
