Henry Single Shot 357 Mag 22" Barrel Polished Brass Reciver American Walnut Stock
Henry's Single Shot centerfire rifle features a matte finish on steel frames and a highly polished finished on hardened brass frames. It features a 22" round barrel, brass bead front sights, Leaf Rear sights and is drilled/tapped for optional scope use. The stock is constructed of walnut, with a curved pistol grip wrist and a straight English wrist and brass buttplate. The action has no external manual safety; it uses a rebounding hammer that can't touch the firing pin unless the trigger's deliberately pulled, and an interlock system that doesn't allow the barrel to open if the hammer's cocked, or the barrel to close if the hammer's cocked while it's open.

Caliber Dictionary
The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
The 357 Magnum was introduced by Smith & Wesson in 1935 and initially chambered in their heavy-frame double-action revolver, the 357 was the first "magnum" handgun. Based on the 38 Special case lengthened to 1.29 inches, it was the world's most powerful handgun cartridge until the 44 Magnum. Offering considerably more power and penetration than the 38 Special, it was standard among many law enforcement agencies for decades. It is still widely manufactured in double- and single-action revolvers (and some rifles), available from virtually all revolver manufacturers; and all manufacturers of handgun ammunition offer a variety of 357 Magnum loads. It is a common choice for personal defense, and 357 revolvers have the advantage of handling less expensive and lighter-recoiling 38 Special loads for practice. As a hunting cartridge the 357 Magnum is probably the lightest cartridge that should be considered for deer-sized game. — Craig Boddington
