Top break revolvers

kthom · Apr 26, 2018

My only top break isn't such a big caliber. But it's a very fine looking H&R "22 Special" made about 1928 to 1930. It's a 9 shot .22LR revolver, large frame, with a six inch barrel. It has the large target style grips mounted, which I believe came with the revolver from the factory. It's tight and smooth, and shoots very well with the few standard velocity rounds I test fired through it. I've always had good luck with H&R .22LR revolvers over the years, but this one is my favorite of all of them! I'd say it's about 95% condition wise.

The shooting part of it is when it gets complicated. Once here, you'll have to follow the "Law of the Land", and there will be no shooting allowed without a valid permit(only outlaws can do that ).

This is redtape paradise. Most European countries are.

I have 4 different gun permits.

Wow as it stands this morning I can legally step out my back door and shoot off my back porch if I want ( and if wife says ok lol) .

I have always had a soft spot for the H&R top breaks ,they are getting harder to come by in high condition , they were a robust and accurate firearm .

Out of my backdoor is my backyard. It's about 14 yards deep and 9 yards wide, and it's surrounded on all 3 sides by similar backyards from neighbours.

My freedom ends where theirs start.

Nearest shoting range is almost 40 miles away and chock full of rules.

They are fine looking and good shooters too. I tried one a while ago, but the owner didn't want to sell it.

It's like that in many US cities. Where I live I can literally open my front door and shoot from my favorite chair to a target about 50 yards away. I've done it many times. I have a lot of windows across the front of my house so even if someone did show up (very unlikely they would show up on foot) I could see them coming if I opened the blinds.

In the really cold months I open my sliding glass door just enough to get my barrel out and I shoot until I get tired of shooting. I can't use semi-autos in the house but I have plenty of bolt action guns to shoot.

If I go outside there are places to shoot much further than 50 yards just from my yard. I can drive a few miles and shoot a few hundred yards.

I've lived in cities. I can't say as I cared much for it. It's great being close to stuff but I much prefer being far enough away that I can do something besides watch TV and surf the net.
