In T2K that would be worth its weight in gold!

it seem very practical

I agree that the Henry Survival would be an excellent addition to ones' emergency supplies. .22LR is still available in most gun supply stores. But with everything else, prices are rising faster than ever. Last time I looked at local Wal-Mart, 550 rounds of .22LR was in the $18 range.

I seem to remember reading in the Sears catalog in the early 1960's about a similar gun. Brake down, floating, .22LR. I can not remember who made it. Remmington? Savage?

IMHO, if you are going to talk pistols/revolvers, I would take a Colt .357 Magnum. Excellent take down power AND can also fire .38.

But, again IMHO, if you are looking for something to have in your "Go Bag". Something lite, rugged, still gets game, and widely available ammo, this henry is tough to beat.
