rodent.22 Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Trying AGAIN!!!! Got on the phone today, verified this pistol, a saw-gripped H&R ''.22 Special" made in 1928. It's a large-frame, top-break 9 shot revolver with a 6'' barrel. 80% blue left, good bore, tight action, the screws show no sign of ever being removed. Perfect slots. It's in a gun shop in Ozark, Mo.

asmurff Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Does it qualify as an antique gun? It is pretty cool looking, were break tops ever very popular in the US. I know this English made a lot of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodent.22 Posted August 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Thanks guys. Smurff the top break was a Smith & Wesson feature for several years in the late 19th century. H&R made revolvers in top break for many years. Solid frame revolvers proved more durable, easier to make for the arms companies. Hinge wear and latch problems moved this design out of the mainstream.... :grin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodent.22 Posted August 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 yeah man it shoots well. It's obvious the screws have never been out of the gun in 82 years...The guy described the mechanical condition perfectly, but was a little optimistic on the blue. He said the blue was 75%, but it should have said 75% GONE..... Overall I'm happy, LOL One thing about this pistol is the cylinder is not recessed, the cartriges are fully exposed and are subject to being struck and accidently fired if dropped. In 1932 the back of the cylinder was recessed, putting more space between the cartriges and the hammer, making these pistols a little safer. Then even later they went to the transfer bar system...
