What’s Included
- Harrington & Richardson U.S.R.A. Model .22 LR single-shot pistol
Unique among its contemporaries, the U.S.R.A. Model uses a single-action, break-open tip-up mechanism that allows rapid loading while maintaining a solid lockup for consistent shot placement.
The 10" carbon-steel barrel is cut-rifled and topped with a full-length rib, providing a stable sighting plane. Patridge-style front and micrometer-adjustable rear sights give precise, repeatable adjustments favored by serious competitors.
An ultra-crisp trigger, forged steel frame, and polished blue finish reflect the pistol’s focus on accuracy and build quality. The one-piece smooth walnut target grip with an integral palm swell offers a secure, natural point of aim for slow-fire bullseye disciplines.
With its low production numbers, association with the United States Revolver Association, and documented use by military marksmen, this U.S.R.A. Model holds strong appeal for collectors seeking historically significant American target pistols.
