Henry Repeating Arms Company is the U. S. manufacturer of over a dozen .22 rifles owned by Debbie and me and all members of our family. (See our favorites the Survival AR-7 and the Lever Action Youth). The ammunition of choice is CCI Stinger (Hypervelocity) 22LR Long Rifle Copper-plated Hollow Point 1640PPS 32 Grain Varmint ammo.

Among the five personal defense guns Debbie and I keep at the ready for unexpected nighttime readiness are three Henry survival rifles with eight round magazines loaded and, for purposes of safety, positioned separately. I recommend you are skilled at getting these guns into a state of quick readiness in fully darkened conditions. Keep at hand, as we do, a couple of SUREFIRE FURY flashlights as well as a couple of Larry2 red dot pointer, laser lights.
