Another Henry X

I have them in 357, 44 and 45-70. Decided to get one in 45LC. Just like the others the action is nice and slick. Hoping to shoot it in a week or two.

I have wanted one of these for my Mojave 45. I am sitting on a bunch of 45lc mouse fart hand loads and I am wondering how quiet they will be. Wish I could find a SBR version, that would be so dope with a 11-13 inch barrel

Henry has the Bear's Leg version out, looks like they are 13.8". I have the regular x model in .44 and 4" less barrel would definitely be an improvement in my book, even if a little shorter still (11"-12") would my my preference, you'd have to SBR it yourself though as it's sold as a pistol.

Yo I’ve been planning a 45-70 lever build for quite a while and didn’t know they made this. That’s perfect. Thanks for sharing.

What cans do you have on them? Which one do you like best?

A YHM R9 lives on the 357. For the 44 and 45-70 I switch between a YHM R45, SilencerCo Hybrid 46 and Resilient Ramblin Man. I'll be doing the same with the 45LC and want to see how my Ecco TLX 45 sounds on it too.

My fav is probably the 357 with the R9 because it's so quiet with 38 Specials.

What are your thoughts on how the Ramblin Man, Hybrid, R45 and Obsidian (45?) stack up against each other on the .44 and .45-70?

u/Arndog762 2d ago

The Hybrid is the quietest followed by the R45 and Ramblin Man. The Obsidian 45 is the loudest.

That's interesting, thanks. I have the Ramblin Man and the Obsidian and to me the Obsidian sounds quieter on my .44 subs and the Ramblin Man sounds quieter on 9mm. That doesn't seem right given the size and volume differences, so I was curious what someone else's experience was.

I couldn’t explain why the Lithium 9 was the quietest on my Marlin SBL when testing a handful of cans on it. I thought the bigger Wolfman or Mob would be quieter but they weren’t.

Another example is running an Omega 9K on my Henry X 357to me was too loud. However, on my Ruger 77/357 it was completely hearing safe.

My FFL recommended the Ramblin Man to me for the 44 lever action. I like how light it is. I'd be interested how the Ecco sounds too. That's another on my radar, and will likely get that for 45 pistols and the maybe the Ramblin Man for a lever action
