Design and construction

The HENRY SINGLE SHOT SHOTGUN uses a break-action, round 22 barrel in blued steel and an American walnut stock. At 28″ barrel length and 37″ overall, the shotgun balances downrange stability with manageable handling. Weight is 6.83 lbs and capacity is 1—ideal for hunters and rural property owners who prioritize accuracy and predictability over rapid fire.

Finish and stock options

Choose between the matte steel frame with a curved pistol-grip walnut stock and rubber recoil pad, or the polished hardened brass frame with a straight English wrist and brass buttplate. Each variant preserves classic styling while offering subtle ergonomic differences to suit shooter preference.

Sights, optics, and handling

Standard sights include an adjustable folding leaf rear sight and brass bead front sight for traditional iron-sight shooting. The action is drilled and tapped for scope mounts, allowing you to fit a low-power optic for improved patterning and target acquisition—useful for hunting or precision close-range engagements.

Performance and applications

Chambered in 12GA, the HENRY SINGLE SHOT SHOTGUN leverages the versatility of the gauge: effective for upland birds, small to medium game, and defensive tasks where a single, well-placed shot is required. The long 28″ barrel helps with pellet pattern consistency and pointability when shouldered from the walnut stock.
