Henry SPD HUSH .45 Long Colt 16.5in Lever Action, 7rd
About this product
What is the Henry SPD HUSH .45 Long Colt 16.5in Lever Action? The Henry SPD HUSH is a suppressor-ready lever action rifle chambered in .45 Long Colt with a 16.5-inch carbon fiber tension-wrapped barrel and 7-round capacity. This modern interpretation maintains classic lever action ergonomics while integrating contemporary materials and accessory mounting capabilities. Designed for shooters who appreciate traditional mechanics but demand modern performance, it bridges heritage and innovation in a single platform.
What is the Henry SPD SPD HUSH used for?
The Henry SPD HUSH excels as a suppressed hunting and recreational shooting platform for medium game within 100 yards. Its 6.4 lb weight and 34.29-inch overall length make it maneuverable in brush, while the 7-round capacity provides ample shots between reloads. The threaded 5/8×24 muzzle accepts most .45 caliber suppressors, reducing report by approximately 28-32 decibels with subsonic ammunition.
How does the Henry SPD HUSH compare to the Stevens 334?
The Henry SPD HUSH offers faster follow-up shots and traditional aesthetics compared to the bolt-action Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win. While the Stevens 334 delivers superior long-range accuracy with its 20-inch barrel and .308 chambering, the Henry's lever action provides faster cycling and 7-round capacity versus the Stevens' 3-round internal magazine. The Henry better suits brush hunting and nostalgic shooting, while the Stevens excels at precision work beyond 200 yards.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 6.4 pounds unloaded and measures 34.29 inches in overall length with its 16.5-inch barrel. The carbon fiber tension-wrapped barrel contributes to the balanced 42/58 weight distribution, while the laminated hardwood stock adds durability without excessive mass. The 1:16 twist rate stabilizes .45 Long Colt projectiles ranging from 225 to 255 grains effectively.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn't suitable for long-range precision shooters or those requiring high-capacity magazines. The .45 Long Colt cartridge drops approximately 18 inches at 200 yards, making it ineffective beyond 150 yards for ethical hunting. Traditionalists preferring blued steel and walnut may dislike the carbon fiber and laminate construction, while tactical shooters will find the lever action slower than modern semi-autos like the Stevens 334.
What's in the box?
The package includes the rifle, one 7-round removable magazine, and a threaded muzzle protector. You'll need to supply your own optics, suppressor, and ammunition—Henry doesn't include iron sights, requiring either a receiver-mounted optic or aftermarket sight installation. The transfer bar safety mechanism comes pre-installed and tested at the factory.
Is the Henry SPD HUSH worth it at $1633.99?
At $1633.99, this rifle justifies its price for suppressors enthusiasts and hunters wanting traditional aesthetics with modern performance. The carbon fiber barrel construction and suppressor-ready threading add approximately $400 over standard Henry models, while the laminated stock provides durability exceeding typical hardwood. For shooters who already own .45 caliber suppressors and appreciate lever actions, this represents a solid investment—others might prefer the Stevens 555 Sporting for more versatile field use.
