Next thing you know, this happens:
See, when they show up, the price is low, 'cos, well, ".22 revolver" is very much a back-yard family activity and there aren't nearly as many back yards where that's possible any more (more's the pity).The J.C. Higgins is interesting, in some ways nicer than the High-Standard original. It doesn't have the clever palm-swell grip; OTOH, the cylinder release is a little more finger-friendly and the grip is a lot more like a generic Colt/Smith & Wesson. A matter of taste, I suppose. And dig that shiny nickle plating!

To quote the Joker - Where does she get such wonderful toys?
A .22 revolver is definitely on my short list at the moment. Congrats on such good finds.
Had a K-22 Model 17 6" Smith for a while.
Great for learning trigger control.

Hmmm. I think you need an older H&R so you can shoot single or double action. Watch for a nine round break-top model just so the box of ammo will never come out even.
All of these will shoot SA -- but that would be cheating. :)
Yes you can keep it, but you have to promise to take care of it, exercise it regularly, and keep it fed. I don't think housebreaking will be a problem.
If there is anything more fun than 22 rim-fire in any flavor, I don't know what it is. Enjoy the new old toy of the day.
