My biggest "hmm, why would they do THAT?" disagreement with the Henry centerfire rifles is the missing
loading gate. Not a huge fan of the system with .22s, but understand that there is really no way to shove
mechanically fragile and TINY .22s into a loading gate with adult fingers. Makes real sense for .22s.....that
or the stock port style of tube in the buttstock -but, to me at least, not for center fire tube mag rifles.
I have no doubt that it works just fine, just not my preference after a number of Win, Browning and Marlin
rifles in stock.
Holy cow, Al - louder than a .30 Carbine BH? Now that is saying something. I only heard one fired at
one range session, but it was definitely memorable, esp with our tin roof over the firing line bouncing it
back at you. I once dumped a cylinder full as fast as I could from a friend's S&W ultra light Ti cylinder
scandium J-frame .32 Mag at 7 yds. No memory of it being particularly loud, but no idea what it was stoked with,
it was his CCW gun for certain situations. Good shooter, all six in about 2.5" at 12 yds in a hurry. I think it
was a 432, is that right? Of course, the .327 is a bunch hotter than .32 H&R Mag, but it was a 2" bbl.
The only .32 revolver I have ever shot....or handled, for that matter.
