Design and Ergonomics

The HENRY MARE’S LEG PISTOL reduces the repeating rifle down to a pistol profile while preserving the elements that make Henry lever-actions desirable. The handcrafted American Walnut stock is cut to the exact specification for a compact cheek weld and secure grip area, bringing a classic aesthetic and natural durability. The blued metal finish provides a timeless look and solid corrosion resistance when cared for properly.

Large Loop Lever and Balance

One signature detail is the large loop lever. It’s not just visual — it allows faster, more reliable cycling while wearing gloves or working through rapid reload drills. Combined with the shortened 12.8″ barrel, the balance shifts rearward, making the pistol quick to present and easy to manage in tight environments.

Action and Shooting Characteristics

Henry’s legendary crisp action is a hallmark — smooth, predictable lever travel and positive lock-up mean follow-up shots are consistent. That makes the platform far more than a novelty; it’s a shooter’s toy with serious function. The large loop lever coupled with the crisp Henry action results in faster, more fluid cycling than many shortened alternatives.

Trigger Feel and Cycling

While this is a rimfire pistol, the trigger and lever geometry are tuned to deliver a satisfying, controllable experience. For new shooters, that translates to confidence on the range. For experienced shooters, it’s the kind of platform that rewards practiced hands with rapid, accurate strings of fire.

Caliber: 22 LR — Benefits and Applications

The HENRY MARE’S LEG PISTOL’s 12.8″ barrel is chambered in 22 LR. The 22 LR caliber is economical, produces minimal recoil, and provides low-cost training for drills that emphasize fundamentals: trigger control, sight alignment, and rapid follow-ups. The practical applications include:

• Range training and transition drills without high ammo costs
• Small game and vermin control in appropriate settings
• Entertaining plinking sessions that build consistency
• Collectors and historical enthusiasts who want a compact lever-action pistol with period-correct function

Practical Use Cases

This piece performs best as a range companion and a safe, low-recoil trainer for learning lever-action operation at a friendly cost per round. Its holsterable profile also appeals to shooters exploring truck-gun ideas or looking for a novelty that carries the handling characteristics of a full-sized rifle in a smaller package.

For tactical-minded owners, the HENRY MARE’S LEG PISTOL is an opportunity to practice cover transitions and rapid cycling rehearsals with a platform that demands attention to fundamentals while remaining approachable for family members or novice shooters. The accessible ergonomics and predictable action help make training sessions more productive.

Maintenance and Handling Tips

Maintaining a lever-action pistol follows familiar steps: keep a light film of oil on the action, inspect and clean the magazine tube area, and remove fouling from the barrel and chamber with appropriate rimfire cleaning tools. The blued metal finish is durable but benefits from periodic care to maintain appearance and function. Store the pistol in a cool, dry place, and cycle the lever occasionally to keep the action in good working order.

Holstering and Safe Storage

Because this design is holsterable like a pistol, confirm you have a holster rated for a lever-action pistol or custom-fit soft case. Treat it with the same safe handling rules as any firearm: keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, keep fingers off the trigger until ready to shoot, and store unloaded when not in use and away from unauthorized access.

Pricing and Value

At a price of $462.99, the HENRY MARE’S LEG PISTOL sits in a value range for both collectors and practical shooters who want authentic lever-action feel without a rifle-length footprint. For the handcrafted American Walnut stock, crisp Henry action, and the unique platform it represents, the price point is competitive within the lever-action niche.

Whether you’re drawn to the handcrafted American Walnut stock, the large loop lever for fast cycling, or the easy-to-manage 22 LR chambering, the HENRY MARE’S LEG PISTOL offers a distinctive experience.
