Henry color case 44. Carbine or rifle?
I'm about ready to make the click to send a Henry 44 mag color case lever to my FFL. I just can't make my mind up between the big loop 16.5" carbine and the 20" rifle. C'mon guys (and gals), help me choose!

I was kind of leaning towards the 20" and buying the glove loop. I was thinking the Duke look so so I looked up John Wayne... his was a 18.5" model 92. Tweener.
The only reason I am considering the 16.5" was just because I don't have a lever carbine, I have a 94 and a 92, both 20".

This would be my choice as well brother...
Have you given any thought on the 41 mag?

I personally love the idea of .41 mag, I just don't really love the idea of a new caliber in my stable. I already have a .44 mag revolver and the dies etc... so I chose the .44 over the .357 just for power sake. The ballistics on the former are significantly better and I kind of fantasize about shootin' something with it.

Can't argue with that. Those Henry Steel rifles are great guns, that one that penn has is a darn good shooter.
Henry is really making some good guns. I think they are just getting started

20" looks the best. It's what lever's should classically look like.
I'd only choose the carbine if you're using it on horseback, for SD/HD, and/or hunting in heavy brush.

I ordered the rifle length in .44 Mag today from my friends at 7th St. Pawn in Victorville. Should have it in my grubby hands in about two weeks after shipping and the ten day DROS.

Congrats! AC. Those are some good-lookin' Henrys. I have revolver-caliber lee-ver car-beans with barrels of 16.5", 18.5" and 20" and the 20's the ones that balances the nicest. The 16.5" Rossi, however, is short, light and very handy, as is my 18.5" Marlin. I vote you get both! eventually.

You know I will.... or something similar right?
I wrestled with it a few days, in the end the 20" version is just more useful in my mind.
