In other words the rifle is quick and slick, everything on it when working the lever is just smooth. Quick when working the lever for the next round. - Low Recoil
To reduce the recoil on the 44 magnum Henry Repeating Arms incorporates the heavy octagon barrel, weighted forward balance and wide buttplate mitigates the recoil. - Simple Safety
Henry rifles do not feature a manual or half cock safety.
