I’m a fan of Henry Repeating Arms, and I’ve tested and hunted with the manufacturer’s lever-action wonders for two decades. Henry’s new-for-2023 Homesteader isn’t a lever-action, but this 9mm carbine screams the Henry name, and the 16.37-inch-barreled, semi-auto shooter made an immediate impression on me.
