Description
There's something about a brass receiver and walnut furniture that makes you slow down and appreciate a shotgun, and the Henry H015B-410 leans into that all the way. This is a break-action single shot in .410 bore with a 26 inch round blued barrel, a brass bead up front, and a straight English-style wrist on the stock instead of the pistol grip you'll find on Henry's steel-framed guns. Even the buttplate is smooth brass. It looks like something your grandfather would have carried, but it left the Henry factory in the USA with modern manufacturing behind it.
How the Henry H015B-410 Runs
The action comes straight from Henry's Single Shot rifle, and it's a smart setup. A rebounding hammer blocks contact with the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled, and an interlock system keeps you from opening or closing the action with the hammer cocked. There's no manual safety to fumble with, which keeps the manual of arms about as simple as it gets: break it open, drop in a shell, close, cock, and fire. When you pop the action open, spent shells eject fully rather than just lifting partway out, so reloading for a follow-up is quicker than you'd expect from a single shot. The barrel release is ambidextrous too, so lefties are covered.
Where the .410 Single Shot Shines
The 3 inch chamber and included removable Full choke make this a natural for squirrels, rabbits, and close-flushing birds, and the tight pattern rewards careful shooting. At 6.73 pounds with a 41.5 inch overall length and a 14 inch length of pull, it's light enough to carry deep into the timber without complaint. The .410's soft recoil also makes this a great gun for teaching someone new to shotgunning, since one shot at a time forces good habits and the light kick keeps the experience fun. Plenty of folks buy one as a first gun for a kid and end up borrowing it for their own small game walks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Henry H015B-410 have a manual safety?
No, there is no manual safety switch on this shotgun. Instead, it uses a rebounding hammer that physically blocks contact with the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled, plus an interlock that prevents opening or closing the action while the hammer is cocked. It's a simple, time-tested system that works well for a break-action design.
Can the Henry Single Shot .410 use different choke tubes?
Yes. The .410 version ships with a removable Full choke using Invector-style threads, so you can swap in other compatible chokes if you want a more open pattern. The Full choke it comes with is a solid match for squirrels, rabbits, and other small game where tight patterns help at distance.
Is this a good first shotgun for a new or young shooter?
It's one of the better options out there for exactly that. The .410 bore has very mild recoil, the break-action operation is easy to learn and easy to supervise, and the single shot format builds good habits by making each shot count. The 14 inch length of pull fits most teens and adults comfortably.
What's the difference between this brass model and Henry's steel-framed single shot?
The brass model has a polished brass receiver, a straight English-style wrist on the walnut stock, and a smooth brass buttplate. The steel-framed versions use a blued receiver, a pistol grip stock, and a black rubber recoil pad. Mechanically the actions are the same, so it mostly comes down to looks and stock feel.
