There is a good argument that a single shot 20 gauge is the smartest first shotgun a kid can own, and Henry clearly agrees. The H015Y-20 takes their break-action Single Shot platform and trims the American walnut buttstock down an inch for a 13-inch length of pull, so smaller-framed hunters get a gun that mounts properly instead of one they have to grow into awkwardly. The 20 gauge chambering is the sweet spot too. It patterns well enough to connect on doves and clays without the shoulder punishment of a 12, and the solid rubber recoil pad takes more of the sting out of range days.
The action itself does a lot of the safety work here. A rebounding hammer keeps the hammer off the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled, and an interlock system stops the action from being opened or closed while the hammer is cocked. The break-open design also makes it dead simple for a new hunter to show clear, and easy for a parent or mentor to verify at a glance. Loading one shell at a time slows things down in the best way, teaching kids to make that first shot count.
This is not a stripped-down starter gun. You get a blued steel receiver, a 26-inch round blued steel barrel with a brass bead front sight, and genuine American walnut with a pistol grip profile. The barrel is threaded for Rem-style choke tubes and ships with a modified choke installed, which covers most upland bird, squirrel, and clay target work right out of the box. Want a tighter turkey pattern later? Swap in a full choke and go.
At 6.74 pounds and 40.5 inches overall with a 3-inch chamber, it carries easily on long walks and handles everything from light target loads to heavier hunting shells. It is the kind of gun that starts as a first shotgun and sticks around as the loaner, the truck gun, and eventually the one that gets handed down again.
The youth model has a 13-inch length of pull, which is about an inch shorter than the standard Henry Single Shot. That shorter stock helps kids and smaller-framed adults get a proper cheek weld and mount the gun correctly, which makes a big difference in both comfort and hitting what they aim at.
Yes. The barrel is internally threaded for Rem-style choke tubes, and a modified choke comes installed from the factory. The modified choke handles most clay target and upland bird work, but you can swap in a full choke for turkey or an improved cylinder for close-flushing birds.
No, there is no manual safety switch. Instead, Henry uses a rebounding hammer that only contacts the firing pin when the trigger is deliberately pulled, plus an interlock that prevents opening or closing the action while the hammer is cocked. Combined with the visible break-open action, it is a straightforward system for teaching new hunters safe gun handling.
It has a 3-inch chamber, so it will run both 2-3/4 and 3-inch 20 gauge shells. Light 2-3/4 inch target loads are the way to go for new hunters since they keep recoil mild, while 3-inch loads give you extra payload for turkey or waterfowl when the time comes.
