Henry Golden Boy H016BD .22 S/L/LR 4″ 10-Round

The Henry Golden Boy H016BD .22 S/L/LR 4″ 10-Round revolver is a modern take on the classic American wheelgun, blending old-school style with rimfire reliability. Chambered for .22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle, this 10-shot birdhead grip revolver is built for plinking, target work, and display. Henry Repeating Arms brings their signature craftsmanship to a small-frame revolver that feels like a piece of history right out of the box.

Key Features

• Birdshead Grip — This compact, curved walnut grip gives you a natural point of aim and reduces felt recoil, making the .22 rimfire even more pleasant to shoot all day.
• 10-Round Cylinder — Double the capacity of most .22 single-action revolvers, so you spend less time reloading and more time on target.
• Interchangeable Front Sight Blades — Swap blades to dial in elevation for different loads or distances, a rare feature on a traditionally styled revolver.
• Transfer Bar Safety — Lets you carry all six (or ten) rounds safely with the hammer down on a loaded chamber, without compromising the exposed hammer look.
• Blued Steel Barrel — The 4″ barrel is machined from solid steel and blued to a deep, even finish that resists rust and looks sharp on the range or in the display case.

Who It’s For

This revolver is for the collector who wants a rimfire wheelgun that stands out at the show, the plinker who appreciates old-school lines with modern safety, and the shooter who wants to train on a .22 without sacrificing style. It fits right between a pocket revolver and a full-size target gun, making it ideal for casual range trips, introducing new shooters, or adding a unique piece to a Henry collection.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Classic styling with a modern safety system; 10-round capacity is generous for a .22 revolver; walnut birdshead grip looks and feels premium; interchangeable front sight adds versatility; Henry’s reputation for customer service.
• Cons: The birdshead grip may feel small for shooters with large hands; fixed rear sight limits windage adjustment; the blued finish requires regular maintenance to prevent rust in humid conditions.

The Henry Golden Boy sits at a higher price point than the Ruger Wrangler or Heritage Rough Rider, but you’re paying for upgraded materials (walnut grip, blued steel) and a higher capacity. If you want a showpiece that also shoots, the Henry wins. If you just need a beater plinker, the others cost less.

FAQ

Can the Henry Golden Boy H016BD shoot .22 Short and .22 Long?

Yes, the cylinder is chambered for .22 S/L/LR, meaning it cycles .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Long Rifle without any modification. Just load and shoot.

How do I adjust the sights on this revolver?

The rear sight is fixed, but the front sight uses interchangeable blades. Loosen the screw on the front sight base, swap the blade for a taller or shorter one (available from Henry), and you can adjust elevation. Windage is fixed, so you’ll need to hold over or use Kentucky windage.

Is the transfer bar safety reliable for carry?

Yes. The transfer bar blocks the hammer from contacting the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled fully. This lets you carry all 10 rounds safely with the hammer down on a loaded chamber. It’s the same system used by Ruger on their New Model revolvers.

What is the barrel length and overall length?

The barrel is exactly 4 inches. The overall length is approximately 9.5 inches, making it compact enough for a range bag or display case.
