Henry Repeating Arms H1 Bandit 22Lr 18.5

The Henry Repeating Arms H1 Bandit .22 LR is a lever-action .22 rifle built for shooters who want timeless handling married to modern versatility. With its 18.5-inch barrel and compact 35.5-inch overall length, the Bandit handles like a classic small-game and target rifle—light enough to carry all day, quick enough to track fast-moving prey. Whether you're introducing a new shooter to lever guns, working on precision at the range, or taking small game, this is a rifle that rewards good fundamentals and never feels slow or clumsy in your hands.

The H1 Bandit feeds .22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle from the same magazine—hold 21 shorts, 17 longs, or 15 LR rounds depending on what you're running. That flexibility means you're not locked into one load. The 1:16 twist rate is optimized for standard .22 LR velocities, and the half-inch by 28-thread barrel accepts suppressors (with a 26-dB reduction if you run subsonic ammo). The 1/4 cock safety is intuitive and reliable, letting you lower the hammer safely without firing.

Build quality is pure Henry: a blued-steel round barrel, American walnut furniture with checkered pistol grip and Monte Carlo comb, and a black receiver. The integrated Picatinny rail lets you mount optics without gunsmithing—use ring mounts on standard Pic rails for a scope, dot, or magnifier. At 5.25 pounds, the Bandit is light enough that you won't feel it by day's end, and the 13-inch length of pull fits most adult frames comfortably.

This is a rifle that works. No frills, no plastic, no compromises on the things that matter. If you want a .22 lever gun that shoots straight, handles fast, and lasts decades, the Henry H1 Bandit is it.
