I posted this down in the classified, but post it here too in the event someone has what I'm looking for but hasn't thought about selling it.

I'm looking for a Harrington and Richards, 9-shot, break-open revolver known as the Model 999 Sportsman. Not looking for a collector. Just a good quality shooter. You can send an email to brentd@iastate.edu or post here.

Thanks

I had one of these 9 shot 22 Rimfire revolvers years ago. It was a nice handgun, but kept loosing the rear sight blade. Don’t remember why I sold or traded it. Good luck with your quest.

Those were nice little revolvers. For some reason, I remember going into a local gun shop in 1970 when I was at Ft. Hood + seeing them for $39.95. Of course everything was cheaper then, but somehow that stuck in my mind.

That's a pretty remarkable recollection, Norman C.

I have one in the mail today. It is an early ~1939 version. Looking forward to some fun with it.

Yeah, we always seem to remember the ones that we wish we had bought.

Or the ones we wish we had never sold.

Hello, I have one I might sell, pm me if you are interested

I have one on the way, but I might be interested anyway. Can you send some details to my email, brentd@iastate.edu? I also have a friend that is looking for one. Not sure how serious he is, but he is the one that got me to go looking for these.

i think i had one, or one like it, but i think the model was the titan -- 9 shot break open?

I've not heard of a Titan, but the H&R Sportsman, model 999 is a 9-shot, break-action gun

I gave mine to my older brother in law in the 80s, i THINK - and when he passed, *I* wasn't allowed to have any of his firearms, regardless of the fact that I was his constant hunting buddy and his two grown kids (roughly my age) have zero interest in guns ... i think i might still be salty about that

I think I can understand that. Sorry for your loss(es). That would really suck.

Use one in AK on a hunt to pot a few grouse.

Exactly my intentions, but in Minnesota.
