Here are my old econo-gun .22s. Top is my Dad's 9-shot H&R "Expert" target pistol from 1938. It has the classic H&R top-break design which automatically ejects the shells from the cylinder as it opens. It still works perfectly, considering it went unfired for 75 years. I shoot it once or twice a year. Double-action is really hard, but single action is just about perfect. The second photo shows it with its target from Rastoff's Challenge.
Bottom is my Ruger Standard from 1974. As I recall, I paid about $60 for it. It also works perfectly, and still has the best trigger of any semi-auto I've ever shot, about 3 1/2 lbs. with zero takeup, and ultra-smooth. It's as accurate at 15 yards as most of my non-econo semi-autos.
