Im trying to identify a H&R pistol so I can try to find a hand which is wore out

It looks very similar to a Model 999 but it has a teardrop style grip. Plus the internal parts are different. It is a break open 9 shot 22 LR. The only markings are H&R "Sportsman" the caliber and serial number. Most H&R pistols have the hand attached to the lifter and it has s wire spring. This lifter attaches to the hammer and its a single action pistol. Barrel is around 6 inches, didn't measure.

I have scoured Numerich, called Jack First, and many others with no luck. Trying to identify the model so parts looking can be easier.

I can probably rebuild the worn hand but would like to also tune up the springs.

Thanks

Maybe a 199 ?

grip is different?

Its a single action but grip is different. It has the newer style hand too. Thanks though

That one is double action and yes grip is traditional on that gun. This grip looks just like the grip on a Colt Lightning. Thanks though

Hey 'earl,

PM me for my email address if you want me to post some pictures. The teardrop grip has me baffled a bit. Pix go a long way.

Pm sent sir

It is a Model 199 I finally figured it out. Thanks for the suggestions

A 199? I guess the "teardrop grip" in your description threw me way off as this seems to be a regular grip hence the request for pictures.

I threw myself off. Appreciate the assistance.

A birds head frame. grip I.D.

I replied to your email but Google gave me an error not sure if you got it. I appreciate the help. I was able to repair the hand and cylinder rotates now. Customer found some grips on eBay. It is a second model made in 1934-1935. Found the info in Blue Book Gun Values web site. Thanks again for helping me ID it

You're welcome. Youda man!

Is this it? Might be worthwhile to have it as a backup.

Thanks for the new business name.

I have been looking for 922 parts for the Old octagon bbl style for years. I need all the internals.

I found the same model 922 round bbl is a totally different gun. Be aware of that.
