    It's a neat little rifle. It'd be really neat in 10mm or .357.

    Agreed, I'd vote for 10mm.
    I've had a few 357 rifles and really enjoyed em as well, but 10mm seems more appropriate in a semi auto, (to me anyways).

    Anyone had an R92 apart? I got one with a large loop and want to put a standard on it. I know a smithy, just wondering if I need to call on him or not? Sometimes this type of thing can get out of hand quickly, I've found in the past. :D

    Ballistic cousins. I approve of either in any format. :handshake: Be neat to put a couple mags through a Coonan, I figure.

    True. Could swap a .38.Super for the .357...

    They are a fun little shooter for sure. Minimal recoil, "cheap" ammo and make a great little home defense gun or truck/ranch gun.

    You own or shot one of them?

    I used to own the ruger PC carbine in 9mm and another in .40 s&w they were loads of fun, but also ugly as sin like most of the modern "tactical" garbage.....imo.

    You go with a glock mag setup, or the straight Henry mag?
    I prefer the Henry mag from an aesthetic point of view, but 10 rds is kinda low.

    I got the Henry 10 and 5 round mags. No Glocks made after 1998 are legal in MA other than LE, so no use for Glock mags.

    Has something changed recently? Last I knew you can buy them through private sale as long as you only have a ten round mag.

    Sweet!
    That's just a nice implement. :yes:

    I think the glock mags look r e t a r d e d on those rifles anyways.

    I wish they made a longer barreled version, I'd like a 22 or 24 inch option, just because it'd look more balanced imo, and it would be considerably quieter for those who don't have a can for it.

    I'd love to. Once my middle is out of high school we may.

    I can't stand Healy and the entitled attitude of most here.

    They work good, and look great when you know you've got 17 (or however many above 10...) rounds ready to send.... Pretty sure whatever I may have to shoot at won't be worried about how the glock mag looks....

    I've had my eye on that Henry 357x, I love it. I already own a .357 revolver so I love keeping similar ammo in the family. That's a sweet little rifle, but man they are a little $$.

    Sounds like me..except opposite ! I bought the rifle..i need the revolver !
    And yes...the X is very expensive. Nobody ever seems to have a deal on them either .
    But I figured ...buy once....cry once .
