For home defense and close-quarters preparedness, a reliable, simple platform that emphasizes accuracy and ease of use is often the best choice. Single-shot break-action designs deliver that clarity: one round, one deliberate shot, minimal maintenance, and long-term reliability.

HENRY SINGLE SHOT SHOTGUN is offered in two distinct finishes — matte steel or polished hardened brass — and combines a traditional break-action with modern features that make it a practical option for tactical-minded owners. Both variants feature a round 22 barrel with an adjustable folding leaf rear sight and a brass bead front sight mounted over an American walnut stock. The action is drilled and tapped for scope mounts for those who prefer an optic over iron sights. Shop this product

Design and Specifications

This model is chambered in 410 GA with a capacity of 1, making it lightweight and easy to handle. Key specs include a weight of 6.73 lbs, overall length of 41.5 inches, and a 26-inch round blued steel barrel. The American walnut stock provides classic lines and durability; the brass-frame option carries a straight English wrist and brass buttplate for a traditional feel, while the steel-frame option uses a curved pistol grip and a rubber recoil pad to improve control under rapid follow-up or with heavier loads.

Features That Matter

Adjustable folding leaf rear and brass bead front sights offer reliable, low-profile aiming that performs well in low-light and close-range scenarios. The drilled-and-tapped receiver allows mounting a compact optic for shooters who prefer a red dot or low-power scope. For those comparing hand-feel and recoil management, the different stock configurations between the brass and steel variants make it easy to select the ergonomics you prefer.
