What’s Included
- Harrington & Richardson factory cardboard box
The Sidekick series configuration stands out here with a nine-shot, fluted, swing-out cylinder paired with a forward-pull ejector rod, giving this compact 2.5 inch barrel variant a distinctive feature set. The double-action/single-action system with an exposed hammer provides versatile operation in a classic rimfire platform.
Blued steel construction is used for both the frame and cylinder, presenting a uniform finish throughout. The round-butt grip frame wears black checkered hard-rubber/plastic grips, each inset with H&R medallions for a correct factory look and secure purchase.
Sighting is straightforward and durable with a fixed setup: a ramped front blade and a frame-notch rear. This matches the Sidekick’s purpose-built design and keeps the topstrap clean and uncluttered.
Factory markings are crisp and informative. The barrel is marked "MODEL 929 22 L.R. MADE IN U.S.A." and the frame reads "H&R INC. GARDNER, MASS. U.S.A.," confirming U.S.
manufacture and model identification.
