Bright spot in what's otherwise been a particularly awful Thanksgiving weekend where we lost our dog, today I received a surprisingly nice 1930s H&R 922 revolver. I bought it almost on a whim, partly because I've been looking another .22 revolver (my H&R top break is interesting but a crappy shooter and my Woodsman only seems to like Remington Target and I can't get it locally anymore) and partly because I'll buy pretty much any vintage handgun for under $100.
It's a pretty simple design, a 9 shot single / double action that's loaded / unloaded by pulling out the cylinder rod and dropping out the cylinder. It actually does have a cutout in the recoil shield you can fiddle a round through, but it's pretty impractical. Surprisingly, it has a quite decent trigger and sights, espescially when my H&R Target top break has neither. Can't wait to put some rounds through it.
