Henry Repeating Arms has added two sight-upgraded revolvers to its lineup. The details come from the company's Henry Repeating Arms's press release, dated February 11, 2026.
What Was Announced
Henry is releasing two Deadeye variants: the H16 Golden Boy Deadeye and the H17 Big Boy Deadeye. Both are based on the standard Golden Boy and Big Boy revolvers. The main change is a fully adjustable rear notch sight paired with a high-visibility fiber-optic front sight. Henry says the models were built in response to requests from its customers.
Key Details
- H16 Golden Boy Deadeye: 10-round capacity in .22 Short, .22 Long, or .22 Long Rifle
- H17 Big Boy Deadeye: 6-round capacity in .357 Magnum or .38 Special
- Deeply blued and polished steel frame
- Genuine American walnut grips, with a choice of Gunfighter-style or Birdshead-style
- Polished brass backstrap and trigger guard
- 4-inch round-profile barrel
- Double-action and single-action trigger
- Quick-takedown cylinder system operated by a switch inside the trigger guard
- Made in America, with Henry's Lifetime Warranty
What It Means for Gun Owners
The Deadeye models keep the traditional double-action design and materials of the base revolvers. The change is in the sights, which are adjustable for windage and elevation through the rear notch. For shooters who found the original fixed sights limiting for target work, that is the practical difference. The H17 is also chambered for the same cartridges as Henry's H6 Big Boy lever-action rifle, which Henry notes as a natural pairing.
Bottom Line
The Deadeye revolvers are a sight-focused update to Henry's existing Golden Boy and Big Boy revolvers. Pricing and availability dates were not stated in the announcement.
