What's Included
- Harrington & Richardson (H&R) Premier .22 LR revolver
The Premier series top-break design uses a T-style double-post latch that unlocks the barrel and cylinder together, enabling fast ejection and reloading. Its automatic star extractor lifts all spent cases simultaneously, a hallmark of this mechanism.
The 5" carbon-steel barrel has an integral top rib with a two-line rollmark, paired with a half-moon front sight and a fixed rear notch in the latch for a straightforward sight picture. The fixed iron sights complement the revolver’s classic configuration.
This model runs double-/single-action with an external hammer and a 7-shot .22 Long Rifle cylinder, providing a traditional DA/SA trigger system in a rimfire package. The frame, barrel, and cylinder are carbon steel.
Hard-rubber grip panels with H&R target logo medallions provide a period-correct look and secure hold. Manufactured in the United States, this example aligns with the recognizable features of H&R’s Premier lineup.
