About this handgun
Henry Big Boy Revolver (Birdshead) is a .38 Spl/.357 Mag revolver with a 4" barrel and a 6-round capacity. Finish: Blued, Brass, American Walnut Grips.
Manufacturer details
As the perfect companion to ride alongside our world-famous Big Boy rifle or as the star of its own show, the Big Boy Revolver is a classically styled six-shooter fully capable of bringing the Henry name into the wild world of wheel guns with the same attention to detail and American craftsmanship you know and love.
Available with round Birdshead-style grips for maximum comfort, this traditional double-action handgun would look right at home on the shelf of a Wild West general store. Borrowing design cues from its long gun brethren, the Big Boy Revolver touts highly polished blued steel throughout the medium-sized frame, quick-release cylinder, and 4” barrel. In addition, genuine American walnut grip panels are affixed to both sides of a mirror-like brass trigger guard that’s visible around the grip to the top of the backstrap.
At about 34 ounces, these revolvers carry easily yet shoot softly with a smooth pull and hammer drop in double action and a crisp break in single action. A traditional revolver sight picture is achieved with a fixed notch cut directly into the frame and a ramped blade front sight, of which three sizes are included for regulating the point of aim to match the point of impact. Like its rifle counterpart, a transfer bar safety keeps the firing pin from striking a loaded chamber unless the hammer is cocked back and the trigger is squeezed.
From full-house .357 Magnum loads for hunting to light .38 Special target loads for easy plinking, the Big Boy Revolver will eat all you can feed it. So whether shooting for fun or meat, having your long gun and sidearm chamber the same cartridge is convenient — that’s Cowboy Logistics at its finest.
As the first-ever revolver under our belt, serious collectors and connoisseurs of the Henry mark will relish the opportunity to add the Big Boy Revolver to their safe. Modern design features with historically consistent style have always been our hallmark, and the Big Boy Revolver is no exception.

A note on accuracy. We work hard to keep every listing correct, but specifications, images and compliance details come from many sources and can contain errors or change without notice. Images may show a configuration that is not California-legal. If a detail on this page matters to your decision, call us and we will confirm it against the actual firearm before you order. The compliance information here is general in nature and is not legal advice; California and local laws change, and the configuration described is confirmed at the time of sale. All sales are subject to applicable federal, state and local law and to the buyer's eligibility to purchase.
