Hello. Thank you ladies (?) and gentlemen for allowing me to join your forum.
As a relative newcomer to the handgun hobby, I've found myself rapidly collecting as many guns as I possibly can. My most recent addition to the family is a cosmetically challenged but mechanically sound H&R 922 for my first resto project. I've been lurking on this forum for some time now and have found that you have a number of members that are extremely knowledgeable about these guns. I knew if any questions arose, this would be the place to get them answered. So here I am.
I'm a bit confused about the exact model. There is no doubt that it's a 922 because it says so on the 2.5" barrel. It's a 9-shot and the frame looks like many other H&R's I've seen online and in person. But the grip is what has me puzzled. Instead of a two piece affair, like every other 922's, this one has a one piece plastic grip that attaches with a single screw almost at the bottom of the backstrap. And the proportions make me think Colt Banker's Special as the grip is much larger than other 922's. Has anyone ever seen one of these, and what can you tell me about it such as model name or age? Also, although I’m not in it for money, any ideas on the approximate value?
Thank you in advance for any assistance or guidance you can provide to this enthusiastic newb.
P.S. If it helps, the serial number is J113xx. Thanks again.
