Henry Bear’s Leg Pistol

Overview

The Henry Bear’s Leg Pistol stands as a unique offering from Henry Repeating Arms, bridging the gap between classic lever-action rifles and modern handgun utility. This compact pistol, chambered in powerful calibers including .357 Magnum/.38 Spl, .44 Magnum/.44 Spl, .30-30 Win., and .45-70 Gov’t, delivers the familiar lever-action cycling mechanism in a short, packable frame. Designed for hunters, wilderness explorers, and shooting enthusiasts, the Henry Bear’s Leg Pistol provides substantial stopping power in a format that is easier to manage than a full-length rifle while offering higher capacity and faster follow-up shots than most traditional revolvers. Each unit is built with the same attention to detail and American craftsmanship that defines the Henry Repeating Arms lineage, making this pistol a reliable choice for field use and target work alike.

Who It’s For

The Henry Bear’s Leg Pistol is designed for the serious shooter who requires a compact, high-power firearm for specific applications. Hunters working in thick brush or dense timber will appreciate the short overall length and the ability to carry it in a scabbard without sacrificing the stopping power of rifle calibers like .30-30 Win. or .45-70 Gov’t. It is also well-suited for those who want a versatile trail gun capable of handling defensive situations against large predators in bear country. Target shooters and collectors of Henry firearms will find the Bear’s Leg Pistol to be a distinctive addition, offering the familiar lever-action experience in a novel form factor.
