The 999 H&R is a cool handgun, had one in the 1970`s the problem I had is that my (at the time girlfriend) could out shoot me with it , in front of all my friends!! it had to go.

I learned to shoot on an H&R 949, satin nickel. They are good, solid, underrated guns.

Congrats!

I also have a late model H&R Sportsman purchased shortly after they were discontinued.

I read somewhere that the late guns were made one at a time by one old guy and were truely hand fitted revolvers. When he died H&R dropped the line.

Is this true and does anyone have any other info on these cool .22s?

Thanks in advance,

Byron

found two of them recently -- one made in 1962, the other in 1984, and both nearly new. and both at good prices. they are hard to find below 500$ but got these out of auctions in the northeast, and for a lot less. they are beautifully made revolvers!

Rob, our tastes run very parallel on many of these things dont they!

Boge, i may have a line on another at a good price, if i do i will let you know.

The first handgun I ever shot was a 999. The family was visting in Iowa and my dad's high school buddy lived on a farm outside of town, and he let me chase a can down the road with his 999. Loved those guns ever since.

I have been searching for one--use to shoot one as a kid--fun!
