The Henry H1 Mare’s Leg .22 S/L/LR is a lever-action pistol with a 12.875-inch round blued steel barrel and American walnut furniture (Henry part no. H001ML-22). Its profile echoes the cut-down lever gun from the television Western, built from the start as a pistol with a straight grip and a large loop lever. The tube holds 9 .22 LR, 10 .22 Long or 13 .22 Short rounds, and the grooved receiver accepts 3/8-inch ring mounts if you want an optic. At about 4.45 pounds and 24.5 inches long it is light and handy. It suits plinking, a trap line and anyone who simply enjoys a lever gun.
