My father has one in the original box with all the papers, his has white marble like plastic grips. it feel like it is built real solid but I have never shot it and I don't think he has. It was my mothers fathers gun. I have a H&R pre 1942 hammerless pocket pistol in 38S&W that I use for Cowboy action Shooting and other than the finish being a little worn it still locks up tight and functions fine.

The very first 22 pistol I ever shot was a H&R trappers model a 9 shot top break. To me it was awsome, at 5 yro. I still think it may have been a ok gun. It lead me to buy a S&W 617 so I could maybe expierence my childhood with a revolver.

My first revolver was a 922 which I bought for $75 close to 30 years ago. Still have it and it take it to the range a few times a year. It has never given me any problems and is as accurate as my Ruger Single Six.

I'm not sure what your pistol looks like Olypenn22 because all I have are red X's but I know mine doesnt break over like Cheyenne Ryder's. This is my first post to this site and have a question about my H&R 922.
I got the pistol from my dad and it was his dad's. I have not been able to find any info on this gun.... age, worth (from what I've seen not a hole lot), etc. I just recently found out what H&R stood for. Thanks for anyother input.

Well, I learned to shoot a handgun with one, does that count? Between my brother and I we probably put 10,000 rounds through it. My dad wasn't too happy, since it was his gun. We loved it. Lightweight, 9 shot, it helped you go through a box of .22 cartridges in a hurry. Double action is a bit of a challenge, however.
I always found it to be relatively accurate. I has much better accuracy out of the H&R than from the heavy barrel Ruger auto I bought years later. The first sign of wear was a tendency to skip a chamber. (remember, this was after about 10 yrs of 2 boys carrying it in holsters, pockets and everything else, over hill and dale, through streams, ponds, well you get the idea) I think you will have a blast with it.
Last year I found one in very good condition in a pawn shop. I bought it and gave it to my dad to replace his. Now if I can replace the tools we lost over the years....
