Aside from the company's target and more utilitarian models, H&R also vied to capture a share of the market for western styled .22 revolvers (albeit in double rather than single action). Although not so highly regarded (either then or now) as the Ruger and Colt "cowboy" .22's, H&R nevertheless sold plenty of theirs, with the lineup including both 6 and 9 shot versions. Pictured below is a 1966 vintage "Forty-Niner" which falls into the latter category.
