I have a Henry Single Shot, but not in 44mag, in 243win.
Trigger sucked. Did the recall, much better now. Its heavy but I bought it for my kids to learn with so that is not a bad thing for me.
Original stock wasn't ugly, but the youth stock Henry sent me (for free no less!) is even nicer!
I'm not sure I would buy one at the prices they're selling for these days, but I'm happy I got one when they were still sub-$500.
