There's something refreshing about a shotgun that does one thing and does it right. The Henry Single Shot Brass in 12 gauge is a break-top gun built around a brightly polished brass receiver, an English-style straight-grip American walnut stock with a smooth brass buttplate, and a 28-inch round blued barrel topped with a classic brass bead. It looks like a gun from another era, but the build quality is pure modern Henry, and the fit and finish holds up to a close look.
The 3.5-inch chamber is the sleeper feature here. Because the break action doesn't care about cycling, this gun will digest just about any 12 gauge shell on the shelf, from light 1 3/4-inch mini shells all the way up to full-house magnum turkey and waterfowl loads. The barrel is threaded for common Rem-Choke style tubes and comes with a modified choke installed, which patterns well for doves, grouse, pheasant, rabbits, and squirrels in that 25 to 45 yard window. Swap tubes and you've got a gun that can handle clays one weekend and a turkey blind the next. Unlike Henry's single shot rifles, the shotgun's chamber is fitted with a true ejector, so spent hulls kick clear when you break it open and reloads come quick with a little practice.
The action uses a rebounding external hammer paired with a pivoting locking lever that works from either direction, handy for lefties. An internal interlock keeps the action from opening or closing while the hammer is cocked, and the hammer can't reach the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled. There's no manual safety to fumble with, just a straightforward hammer-fired system that's easy for a new shotgunner to understand and easy for a veteran to appreciate.
At 6.83 pounds with a 43.5-inch overall length and 14-inch length of pull, it totes comfortably on long walks and swings nicely on flushing birds. Whether you want a first shotgun that teaches shot discipline, a nostalgic upland companion, or just a good-looking single barrel that runs everything, this Henry covers a lot of ground with one trigger pull at a time.
The 3.5-inch chamber and break-top design let it run nearly any 12 gauge shell made, from short mini shells up to heavy 3.5-inch magnum loads. Since there's no action to cycle, light loads that choke up semi-autos feed with zero fuss. That flexibility makes it a great pick for everything from casual clays to turkey season.
Yes. The barrel is internally threaded for the common Rem-Choke pattern, so tubes are easy to find just about anywhere. It ships with a modified choke installed, which is a solid all-around choice for upland birds and small game at medium range, and you can swap to full or improved cylinder depending on the job.
The receiver is Henry's Brasslite, a durable brass-plated alloy with a clear protective coat that keeps that mirror shine looking sharp. It's a smarter choice than solid brass, which is heavy and can stretch over time under 12 gauge pressures. A steel insert supports the shell base and houses the firing pin for added strength.
No, and it doesn't need one in the traditional sense. It uses a rebounding hammer that can't contact the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled, plus an interlock that prevents opening or closing the action with the hammer cocked. It's a simple, time-proven system that keeps operation uncomplicated.
