H&R 999 and other H&R revolvers
Harrington & Richardson are very well made in the USA guns that were offered for a very competitive price. My first revolver was a H&R in .22 caliber and I was thrilled with the gun. This is still a stealth manufacturer, as most collectors and shooters don’t consider this manufacturer as a great firearm. That is their loss, as the H&R .22 caliber handguns are some of the most accurate and durable guns ever made. I have owned 5 different models and have never had any problems. As a matter of fact, if you can find one for a reasonable price, buy it. My model 999 is my second one. The first one I purchased new for $230 in 1983 from a sporting goods store. Foolishly I traded it off for something I don’t even remember. I wished that I had never got rid of it. I saw one with a 6 inch barrel in non fired condition a couple of years ago at a local gun repair shop in Portland Oregon while purchasing some scope mounts for another gun. It was marked at $200.00 and came with the original box. I couldn’t hand them my money fast enough. This little top break 9 shot is a jewel. The trigger pull in single action is superb, no creep and about 3 lbs. Double action is about 6lbs, but who cares, as for target shooting I always go single. H&R made a lot of different .22 caliber handgun permutations on their frame design, and they are all great guns. These are great guns and are available at great prices. If someone on a budget wants to purchase a .22 handgun, get an H&R. If you are a collector - purchase all you can get your hands on. They will catch on and appreciate at a higher rate than most other guns
