Henry Drops Deadeye Revolvers with Upgraded Sights

Henry just doubled down on wheelgun fans.

On February 11, 2026, Henry Repeating Arms out of Rice Lake, Wisconsin announced two new revolvers built directly from customer feedback: the H16 Golden Boy Deadeye Revolver and the H17 Big Boy Deadeye Revolver. Same classic Henry feel. Sharper sights. More precision.

The big upgrade? A fully adjustable rear notch sight paired with a high-visibility fiber-optic front sight. Translation: better target acquisition, easier point-of-impact adjustments, and improved performance whether you’re punching paper or ringing steel.

Both Deadeye models stick with the traditional double-action platform Henry owners already know and trust. You still get premium materials, smooth triggers, and clean American craftsmanship. But now you can fine-tune your revolver exactly how you like it.

The Golden Boy Deadeye is a 10-shot rimfire chambered in .22 Short, Long, or Long Rifle. It features a deeply blued and polished steel frame, genuine American walnut grips, and a polished brass backstrap and trigger guard. It’s got that classic Henry look—but now with modern sight capability.

The Big Boy Deadeye holds six rounds and is chambered in .357 Magnum or .38 Special. That makes it a perfect companion to Henry’s H6 Big Boy lever guns for anyone building a caliber-matched setup.

Both models feature:

• 4-inch round-profile barrel
• Smooth double-action and crisp single-action trigger
• Quick-takedown cylinder system activated by a switch inside the trigger guard
• Choice of Gunfighter-style grips for added control or Birdshead-style grips for a compact feel

Anthony Imperato, Founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms, made it clear this launch was driven by shooters themselves:

“The Deadeye revolvers directly reflect what our customers asked for. They wanted the same revolvers they already enjoy, with more functionality in the sights, and that’s exactly what these new models deliver.”

Both revolvers are proudly Made in America and backed by Henry’s Lifetime Warranty.
