Who It’s For

This revolver is intended for Illinois shooters who prefer manual-action firearms for recreational target shooting, tin can plinking, or small pest control. The .22 S/L/LR chambering makes it suitable for newer shooters learning fundamentals on a single-action platform, as well as experienced rimfire enthusiasts who value the tactile cycling of a traditional revolver. The fixed sights and 5.5-inch barrel provide a sight radius adequate for 25-yard accuracy without the complexity of adjustable rear sights. Because the henry h16 golden boy deadeye revolver is a single-action design, it requires manual hammer cocking before each shot, making it less suited for defensive or high-volume competition use. Illinois residents should note that the revolver’s six-round capacity complies with state magazine restrictions, and the non-semiautomatic action does not fall under the Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card prohibition for assault weapons. This model is also compatible with standard .22 LR ammunition, which remains widely available for range sessions.

• Single-action revolver for deliberate, accurate shooting
• Fixed sights for low-maintenance field use
• Compatible with subsonic, standard-velocity, and high-velocity .22 LR loads
