I recall H&R did SA-only in the Sportsman which later became the Model 199 (maybe?). I don't see anything in any reference 'round here (not many really) but there's something that says to me they might have.

There. How's that for absolutely no help?

Seems like if its like my 732 after firing the hammer rebounds back into the safety notch. Mine is not reliable in doing this so I make sure I carry with 5 rounds. I'll wager it has been fiddeld with. But there would be no reason for them to do away with the safety notch. The mainspring plunger/mainspring (hammerspring) has to be balanced along with the hammer strut configuration for the thing to rebound reliably. It can be frustrating. My 732 in 32 S&W Long misfires on a regualer basis if I dont use Federal primers . CCI's and Winchesters seem too hard for the hammerspring.

Have this friends H&R 922 w/six digit serial #. Its DA only. Did H&R make a DA only 922 or did someone fiddle with this thing. It has no notches for safety, 1/2 cock or SA function....just DA.
