Henry Repeating Arms is expanding its lineup of modern lever action firearms with the introduction of the new Bear’s Leg Pistol, a compact, utility-minded platform that blends the unmistakable profile of the classic Mare’s Leg with features tailored to the way today’s firearm owners actually use their guns.
Offered in .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, .30-30 Winchester, and .45-70 Government, the Bear’s Leg Pistol is purpose-built for versatility, customization, and hard use. Each model features a factory-threaded barrel, a polymer handguard with M-LOK® slots and a Picatinny rail section, fiber optic sights, a large loop lever, and a side loading gate. The result is a lever action pistol platform equally suited for range use, truck carry, property duty, camp utility, and lawful customization where permitted.
“The Bear’s Leg is our take on what a modern lever action pistol can be, cranked up to 11,” said Anthony Imperato, Founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. “It starts with a format people instantly recognize, then we gave it some additional firepower, and then we added our popular X Model furniture for user configuration. Whether that means adding accessories, shooting suppressed, or using it as the foundation for something more specialized, the Bear’s Leg is purpose-built for possibility.”
While rooted in one of the most iconic silhouettes of the Old West, the Bear’s Leg was developed with a close eye on the present. Henry engineers drew inspiration from how customers are increasingly configuring their lever action rifles, mounting lights, adding accessories, seeking suppressor compatibility, and adapting traditional platforms to more specialized roles.
The pistol-caliber versions, chambered in .357 Magnum and .44 Magnum, offer approachable recoil, fast follow-up shots, and broad all-around practicality. The .30-30 Win. model brings one of America’s most time-tested hunting and ranch cartridges into a compact new format. For those seeking maximum authority in minimum space, the .45-70 Gov’t version stands as the biggest and boldest expression of the platform.
In addition to its out-of-the-box capability, the Bear’s Leg is also designed to offer a straightforward path to Short-Barreled Rifle (SBR) conversion where legally permitted and with approved ATF paperwork. Because it already includes a threaded barrel and modern attachment points from the factory, it provides a ready-made foundation for those interested in building a more compact, lever action SBR platform without permanent modification.
The new Henry Bear’s Leg Pistol is available now through federally licensed firearms dealers carrying an MSRP of $1,129. For more information, visit HenryUSA.com.
