The Henry H1 Garden Gun answers a question most lever guns can't: what do you grab when a snake shows up in the tall grass, mice are raiding the feed room, or pigeons have claimed the barn rafters? Firing .22 LR shotshells through an 18.5-inch smoothbore barrel, this little lever action throws a tight, even pattern of fine shot that handles close-range pest work without the noise, recoil, or over-penetration of a centerfire. Rifling would spin those shotshells apart and scatter the pattern, so Henry left it out entirely, and the barrel is stamped for .22 LR shotshells to make its purpose clear.
Under the hood, this is essentially Henry's beloved Classic Lever Action .22, which means the same buttery smooth blued steel hammer, lever, and trigger that made that rifle famous. The 15-round tubular magazine gives you plenty of follow-up shots, and the whole package weighs a trim 5.25 pounds at 36.5 inches overall, so it rides nicely next to the tractor seat or behind the truck bench. The fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight and hooded blade front are all the aiming you need at garden distances, and the 3/8-inch grooved receiver accepts ringmount optics if you want them. A traditional quarter cock hammer position rounds out the simple, familiar controls.
The rustic black ash stock and forend set this one apart from anything else in Henry's lineup. The finish leaves just enough texture that you can feel the grain, which gives you a solid grip with wet or gloved hands and a look that gets noticed at the range. Pair it with CCI .22 LR shotshells, the go-to load for this platform, and you've got a quiet, low-recoil tool that patterns well out to typical pest-control distances. Range reports show even spreads at 30 feet that open up gradually beyond that, right in the sweet spot for rats, snakes, starlings, and other small nuisances. It is a purpose-built piece of American-made craftsmanship, and owners who put hundreds of rounds through them report the same smooth cycling on round 500 as round one.
It's built for .22 LR shotshells, and Henry stamps that right on the barrel. With no rifling to stabilize a solid bullet, standard rounds would tumble and lose accuracy fast, so there's no real point. Stick with .22 LR shotshells like CCI's #12 shot loads and it does exactly what it was designed to do.
Think close-quarters work. The 18.5-inch smoothbore keeps patterns noticeably tighter than a shotshell fired from a handgun, with even spreads at 30 feet and usable patterns stretching further depending on the target size. For rats, mice, snakes, and small birds around the barn or garden, that's plenty.
Yes. The receiver has a 3/8-inch groove that accepts standard rimfire ringmounts, so a compact optic goes on easily. That said, most owners find the adjustable semi-buckhorn rear and hooded blade front handle the short distances this gun works at just fine.
Pretty much. Aside from the smoothbore barrel and the distinctive black ash furniture, it shares the same blued steel hammer, lever, and trigger, and the same famously smooth cycling. If you've run a Henry Classic, this will feel like an old friend the moment you shoulder it.
