The .357 Magnum chambering offers substantial stopping power, while the ability to cycle .38 Special rounds provides a versatile training and plinking option. The Deadeye model features an extended barrel and adjustable sights, making it a practical choice for those who prioritize precision over concealment. Whether you are a collector or a regular shooter, this revolver brings a level of build quality that demands attention.

Features & Specs

The Henry H17 Big Boy Deadeye Revolver is constructed around a solid steel frame with a polished finish that resists wear. The 7.5-inch barrel provides a longer sight radius for improved accuracy, while the ventilated rib reduces mirage during extended shooting sessions. The adjustable rear sight and red ramp front sight allow for fine-tuned elevation and windage adjustments. Below are the core specifications and features you can expect from this model.

• Caliber options: .357 Magnum and .38 Special for flexible ammunition selection
• Barrel length: 7.5 inches with a ventilated rib for heat dissipation
• Sights: Fully adjustable rear sight with a red ramp front sight for rapid target acquisition
• Grip: Checkered walnut stocks with the Henry medallion for secure handling
• Action: Single-action revolver with a crisp, predictable trigger pull
• Capacity: 6-round cylinder
• Finish: Blued steel with a polished surface

The revolver also includes a transfer bar safety mechanism, allowing the hammer to rest on an empty chamber without risk. The cylinder is fluted for weight reduction, and the overall weight balances well for off-hand shooting. This is a firearm built to deliver repeatable accuracy without unnecessary complexity.

Who It’s For

The Henry H17 Big Boy Deadeye Revolver is intended for the shooter who values mechanical precision and traditional design. It suits the target shooter who wants a revolver capable of tight groups at moderate ranges. It also appeals to the hunter who needs a reliable sidearm for small game or backup duty in the field. The .357 Magnum chambering makes it viable for personal defense in rural or wilderness contexts, while the .38 Special option allows for low-recoil practice sessions. This revolver is not optimized for concealed carry due to its barrel length and frame size. Instead, it serves as a dedicated range revolver or a field companion for those who appreciate single-action operation.
