- Harrington & Richardson Model 929 Side-Kick revolver (.22 LR, 4 in barrel)
The Model 929 Side-Kick is a nine-shot DA/SA rimfire revolver with a swing-out cylinder to the left and a front-mounted cylinder latch. This configuration offers straightforward operation and reflects the practical engineering of H&R's mid-century revolver line.
It wears a 4-inch steel barrel with clear "MODEL 929 ... WORCESTER, MASS., U.S.A." and "SIDE-KICK" rollmarks. The barrel, frame, and cylinder carry a uniform blued finish across the steel construction.
Sighting is handled by iron sights: a fixed ramped front blade paired with a square-notch rear set into the topstrap. The external hammer has a checkered spur for positive control, and the round-butt grip frame is fitted with two-piece molded plastic grip panels in marbled amber, checkered with a molded H&R roundel.
Introduced in H&R's first solid-frame revolver line with a swing-out cylinder (1956), this example falls within the brand's Two-Point cylinder locking era (introduced 1958). It is a United States-made revolver from the 1950s, with a U-prefix serial observed on the butt that aligns with the period.
