A nice Henry 41 mag seems like a good alternative.
Like the Henry,, but the 9 mm, I’d have to agree

41 mag?
It's totally unavailable in the LGSs in my area. If you reload 41 mag, you'll have rounds to shoot but if you don't, this rifle will be a safe queen.
9mm is what today's market can support because 9mm is available.
Other caliber can come later.

I know the Henry 41 mag rifles are getting bought as soon as they hit the market,,I don’t know why.
I didn’t realize ammo was scarce also,,,👍

Henry 9mm carbine
I dunno, but the very sound of Henry making a $1000 9mm carbine seems like a contradiction; and I have several Henrys too.
From the description I don’t see it as being a practical homestead firearm for the price point.
Defending the livestock? 🥴 Pfffft puhleeze. I can think of several more practical firearms for this.
I’m sure it will still see a good duty firearm for certain home types, but very few.
A plinker, sure, but an awfully expensive one.
Maybe Henry took too much of a gamble on this one?

I don't think they're "gambling" at all. Any halfway decent AR-15, 9 MM Carbine is going to run you in the neighborhood of $1K+. This Henry 9 MM takes far more expense and craftsmanship to produce. It has a 2 piece Walnut stock, that has to be cut, fit, and finished. As opposed to a cheap, injection molded plastic stock that slips over a plastic tube, that most all the others have.

The fact is guns are getting more expensive, period. AR's can still be had for somewhat cheaper prices, because they're cheaper to produce. And everyone and their brother makes them by the pallet load. But even several models of those are well into 4 digits today. Go price Springfields new 9 MM AR-15 Carbine if you don't believe me.

If I were to set up my Rock River Arms LAR-9, 9 MM Carbine today, (shown below), it would cost far more than that Henry pictured. Henry will sell a ton of these.... 9 MM ammunition is becoming available once again, and is coming back down in price. Making it affordable to shoot. (I've seen it for as little as $11.99 @ box at Grab-A-Gun).

And with good, high quality self defense ammunition out of it's longer barrel, it can take deer sized game at reasonable ranges. If you want to keep these things in perspective, go price a plain jane, wood stocked, .223 Ruger Mini-14 today. Compared to most any AR-15 in the same caliber. And Ruger can't keep them in stock at over 4 digits a pop. You'll come back running to that Henry.

Wow!
After I was nice and polite.
Could you please try to be more insulting in the future?
After all a multiple Champion Shooter for decades just said the same thing I did and yet, you’re gonna tell him and a CB vet that they both have a lot to learn? (You’ve got to be kidding)
I suppose it’s true when they say “some people just don’t like to be wrong“. I sincerely hope your not one of them, sir.
I hope you simmer down long enough so we can participate in other sections and subjects in the forum like adults without getting bent out of shape over such a small thing.

My my. We are a little bit sensitive and bent out of shape.

I don’t think it was a sensitivity issue,, we have to take into account the time of the post, ( happy hour ) and the lack of emojis when you’re kiddingly serious, but meant no harm.
It can seem harsh, it was harsh. … but it was lacking

Three whiskeys then posting seems to be commonplace on many forums.

Wait a minute, 5 round magazine? So what will after market or extended Henry magazines cost? The guns a beauty, but looks awful pricey considering the market.

They come with adapters to fit Glock 9 MM magazines.

That makes a lot of sense.

I saw that Henry announcement for that carbine and thought it was an interesting idea. I have a few Henry's with the Long Ranger in 556 being my current favorite. But if I was going for a pistol caliber carbine, thinking I would go with the Ruger option and probably in the take down version.

Man I’m green with envy, I so wanted to be able to afford that Long Ranger. Some things just aren’t meant to be.
I’m still plenty happy with my Henry 30-30 though.

Let's put an end to this and get back on topic please. Thanks

Glock extended mags are very good.

Pay the money….

Henry recommends factory glock mags for best reliability. I have run my glock P-mags in pistols pretty hard without issue, bet they would work just fine.

I was at a guns tore in Dallas earlier today. Those were $44. So, that's not TOO bad.

My Ruger PCC Takedown model cost > 600 and is suppressor ready. It takes my Glock mags and shoots lights out.
There are aftermarket accessories too.
I doubt a Henry can match it straight up.

That mag was purchased over a year ago 👍

Last thing I would want is,,,,, all my rifles in 9mm, I never took to the 9mm as a hunting round.

I’m with you there.
I’m more than practical with owning firearms. For instance my big game rifle is a do-all for the continent. The 30-30 will take just about everything on the North American Continent. Why would I need a 308, 30-06 etc (Just be a good stalker to short the killed range)
For small game and hogs…..I don’t needed anything more than a 22wmr.
Turkey=shotgun
plinking=CZ 452 22lr
on my hip when I’m hunting…..H&K VP9
when I’m about town, Sheild 9 (+xtra mag)
I’m liking the idea of the new S&W 9mm folder carbine for the truck and out of town excursions. It would certainly fill a nitch. But I need another nitch to justify owning one (believe me, I’m looking) .

My father however is a handgun nut to the 9th degree!
He has 3 different 32 H&R mags as an example.
The “I godda have it” syndrome has never come for me. I must be immune . 🤪 (or just cheap)

The high capacity 9mm for a Home defense round is a possibility.
I think in certain situations,, would I grab the high capacity handgun or high capacity carbine.
It could go either way 👍
