Henry Mare’s Leg Pistol 22 WMR 12.875″ American Walnut

In the golden era of television Westerns, Steve McQueen rode across black-and-white screens in Wanted: Dead or Alive with a sidearm the world had never seen before. His cut-down repeater, dubbed the Mare’s Leg, could be holstered like a revolver, yet fired with the speed and precision of a lever-action rifle. It brought outlaws to justice every week and quickly became the true star of the series.

The show may have been short-lived, but the legend of the Mare’s Leg never faded. Today, that iconic firearm lives on in the H1 Mare’s Leg Pistol, a rimfire lever-action pistol built in the spirit and style of the original, equal parts nostalgia, craftsmanship, and pure shooting enjoyment.

Made in the USA to our exacting standards, the H1 Mare’s Leg Pistol is offered in .22 Short/Long/Long Rifle and .22 Magnum, giving shooters the option to choose between maximum versatility or a little extra punch. Both chamberings benefit from the smooth, reliable Henry lever action, delivering fast follow-up shots and an unmistakably satisfying shooting experience.

Each H1 Mare’s Leg features American walnut furniture shaped to echo the profile of the original television gun, paired with a large loop lever for quick, intuitive cycling. A receiver-mounted saddle ring adds authentic Western character, while the compact design makes the Mare’s Leg exceptionally handy. Weighing just over four pounds and measuring approximately 25 inches overall, it’s light, portable, and easy to carry.

While best known for its fun factor, today’s outdoorsmen also appreciate the H1 Mare’s Leg as a practical tool for working a trap line or handling close-range tasks where portability matters. The 12.875″ blued steel barrel is topped with fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sights and a hooded front sight, and the grooved receiver allows for easy optic mounting if desired.

Unholstering a Mare’s Leg won’t make you a lawman of the Wild West, but it will make you feel like one. The H1 Mare’s Leg Pistol delivers a shooting experience unlike anything else.
