I found this little beauty at a garage sale today. It's a 1975 Harrington & Richardson Model 929 9-shot .22 caliber revolver with a 2-1/2" barrel, and in dead mint condition. I asked the old man having the sale if he had any guns he wanted to part with, and he brought this out. I asked him what he had to have to part with it and he said "How much would you give"? I said "How about $30?, and he said "sure." He also had a Winchester Model 94 in 30-30 and some pistol in .380, but didn't want to part with them.
The pistol is dated 1975 and the asking price on the gunbroker auction site can be as high as $699.00, but they never bring that much. Some people tend to put a ridiculously-high asking price on their fixed-price auctions. They usually get bid up to about $230 at auction. I just tried it out on some steel targets out back. Even with the 2-1/2" barrel, it can consistently hit the 4" target at 20 yards. H&R makes a decent low-priced .22 pistol, and the longer-barreled versions are favored by coon hunters.
