The Henry Single Shot 20ga shotgun is a straightforward, reliable break-open shotgun built for hunters who value simplicity and dependability. This 26-inch barrel model comes chambered in 3-inch 20-gauge, giving you effective range and manageable recoil in a lightweight package ideal for upland game, waterfowl, and clay shooting. With a single-shot design and classic American walnut furniture, it's the kind of gun that handles the job without fuss—no complicated mechanics, just point, aim, and shoot.
At 6.80 lbs, the Henry Single Shot carries easily through thick cover or across an open field. The 41.5-inch overall length keeps things nimble in brush or boat, while the round blued steel barrel resists corrosion and pairs well with the warm grain of the walnut stock. The brass bead front sight gives you a clear aiming reference for fast target acquisition. A break-open action is inherently safe, reliable, and easy to maintain in the field—there's no bolt to cycle or complex lockup to foul.
This shotgun is for the hunter who doesn't need bells and whistles: someone after a durable, honest tool that will function when it matters. Whether you're hunting from a blind, working hedgerows, or spending a day at the range, the Henry Single Shot delivers consistent performance without the price premium of semi-autos or over-unders. It's a no-nonsense gun for straightforward shooting.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a break-open shotgun action and how does it work?
A break-open shotgun hinges at the receiver, allowing the barrel to tilt down for loading and unloading. Simply push the lever or bar to unlock, open the barrel, drop in your shell, and close. It's one of the safest, most intuitive actions ever designed, with no moving parts to jam and instant visual confirmation that the gun is loaded or empty.
Is the Henry Single Shot good for hunting upland game and waterfowl?
Yes. The 3-inch 20-gauge chamber and 26-inch barrel make it suitable for upland birds, ducks, geese, and light waterfowl hunting. The lighter recoil of 20-gauge is also easier on the shoulder during a full day of shooting, and the compact length works well in brush and marshes.
What sights come on this shotgun?
The Henry Single Shot comes equipped with a brass bead front sight mounted on the barrel. This traditional sight is quick to acquire and reliable for hunting ranges.
How much does the Henry Single Shot 20ga weigh?
This model weighs 6.80 lbs, making it lightweight and easy to carry all day in the field without fatigue.
