Henry H015-410 Single Shot Shotgun .410 Bore 26 in
Pros & cons
What works
- Weighs 6.2 lb (2806g) — 1.3 lb lighter than a comparable single-shot 20-gauge for easier handling by new shooters.
- 26-inch barrel provides a 33.5-inch sight plane for improved swing mechanics over youth-length options.
- Uses simple, field-serviceable rebounding hammer safety — zero plastic or electronic components to fail.
Trade-offs
- Single-shot only — reload time of 3-4 seconds eliminates it for any multi-target or defensive role.
- No second choke tube included — requires a separate $25 purchase to change from the included Modified pattern.
- Walnut stock lacks adjustable comb or length-of-pull — fixed 13.75-inch LOP may not fit all adult shooters ideally.

About this product
The Henry H015-410 Single Shot Shotgun is a break-action, single-shot .410 bore shotgun with a 26-inch barrel, classic walnut furniture, and simple manual operation. It represents the most fundamental form of shotgun available on the commercial market today, designed around a completely mechanical action that requires no external safeties or complex triggers to function. Its primary role is to serve as an introductory firearm and a reliable, no-frills tool for specific field applications where minimal maintenance and utter mechanical simplicity are paramount.
What is the Henry H015-410 used for?
The Henry H015-410 is used for foundational shotgun instruction and small-scale pest control. Its single-shot design enforces maximum round safety and a deliberate rate of fire, making it ideal for supervised new shooter training, particularly for youth or adults unfamiliar with firearms. Its lightweight 6.2 lb carry weight and .410 bore chambering make it suitable for small game at close ranges under approximately 30 yards, typically with a Modified or Full choke installed.
How does the Henry H015-410 compare to the Stevens 555 Sporting O/U .410?
The Henry H015-410 is better for teaching basic fundamentals and as a low-cost tool, while the Stevens 555 Sporting delivers superior versatility for actual clay target or hunting work. The Stevens 555 features a 28-inch barrel, over-under twin-bore design giving you two chokes and an immediate second shot, making it a far more practical choice for skeet, dove, or rabbit hunting where follow-up shots are critical; however, it commands a price nearly double that of the Henry. You can see the Stevens option here.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The Henry H015-410 weighs 6.2 lb (2806 grams) unloaded and measures 41.5 inches overall in length. Its 26-inch round barrel has an outside diameter of 0.87 inches and a bore diameter of .410 inches, while the walnut buttstock is 13.75 inches from the trigger to the solid rubber pad.
Who is this NOT for?
This shotgun is NOT for any shooter whose primary need is defensive capability or who participates in skeet, sporting clays, or bird hunting where multiple shots are required. The mandatory 2-3 second action open-reload-close cycle between shots eliminates it for any scenario demanding a second or third round in under 5 seconds. Its utility for pest control is limited to individual rodents or snakes rather than groups of pests like starlings or pigeons.
What's in the box?
The Henry H015-410 ships with the shotgun, one Modified choke tube pre-installed in the Invector-style threads, and an owner's manual. I should note that unlike many modern shotguns, it does not include a second choke tube, a lock, or any form of case, plastic or otherwise; expect to invest another $25-35 for a dedicated soft case.
Is the Henry H015-410 worth it at $508.99?
Yes, the Henry H015-410 is worth it at just over $500 as a dedicated training tool or a specialized single-purpose field gun. When evaluated against other new-production, walnut-stocked single-shots, its price reflects Henry's quality of fit and finish and the inherent cost of machining all-steel components, including the rebounding hammer and blued receiver. Its value is as a lifetime firearm that teaches fundamentals, not as a high-volume shooter; for the latter, consider a used pump-action like a Stevens 334 at a similar price point for more versatility.

Frequently asked questions
- Is this shotgun compatible with 2.5-inch .410 shells?
- Yes, the Henry H015-410 is fully compatible with both 2.5-inch and 3-inch .410 bore shotgun shells. Its chamber is machined for the full 3-inch length, so it will safely and reliably fire the shorter 2.5-inch shells as well, which is typical for all modern .410 chamberings.
- Does this fit in a standard 42-inch gun case?
- Yes, its 41.5-inch overall length allows it to fit in any standard 42-inch or longer shotgun case with a slight margin for padding. A 44-inch padded case would be ideal, allowing room for an accessory pouch or the choke tube wrench at the muzzle end without a tight crush fit.
- Is it compatible with Invector-Plus choke tubes?
- No, it is only compatible with the original Invector-style choke tubes from Briley, Carlson's, or similar major manufacturers, not the longer Invector-Plus pattern used by Browning and some Winchester models. Check your specific aftermarket choke tube to ensure it is explicitly labeled for 'Invector' (non-Plus) threads.
- How long does shipping to an FFL take from Ironclad Armory?
- Ironclad Armory processes and ships in-stock firearms like the H015-410 within 1 business day via FedEx 2Day. Once shipped, transit time to the receiving Federal Firearms License (FFL) holder is typically 2-3 business days, depending on your geographic location relative to our Utah warehouse.
