Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Harrington & Richardson 22 Special in .22LR with a 6-inch blued barrel is a classic example of H&R’s early-to-mid 20th-century rimfire craftsmanship, offering shooters a durable, straightforward, and surprisingly accurate revolver that was built to serve as both a farm gun and an affordable target or small-game companion. Constructed on H&R’s solid-frame, nine-shot design, the 22 Special possesses a robust, one-piece frame that gives it better strength and alignment than the company’s earlier top-break models, while still maintaining the mechanical simplicity and ease of use that made H&R revolvers so popular. The long 6-inch barrel contributes significantly to the revolver’s shootability: it provides an extended sight radius, steadier muzzle balance, and velocity benefits that make the .22LR cartridge cleaner-burning, flatter-shooting, and more accurate. Its blued finish ranges from utilitarian matte tones to deeper, well-polished surfaces depending on the production era. Still, all versions exhibit crisp markings and the honest machining typical of H&R’s mass-produced working guns. The fixed sights—a notched rear cut into the top strap and a tall, serrated front blade—are simple but surprisingly usable for deliberate target shooting, and many shooters remark on how well a properly maintained example groups at 15 to 25 yards.

The grip frame typically features checkered hard-rubber or walnut stocks with the familiar H&R target logo, offering a comfortable, hand-filling profile that balances nicely with the longer barrel. Mechanically, the 22 Special uses H&R’s reliable double-action/single-action system and—on later models—may incorporate safety enhancements like a transfer bar, allowing safe carry with all chambers loaded. The trigger pull in double action is firm but serviceable, while the single-action mode is lighter, making it easier to take advantage of the revolver’s inherent accuracy. As a whole, the H&R 22 Special 6-inch stands out today as an affordable yet historically enjoyable rimfire revolver—one that delivers real practical performance, old-school charm, and a satisfying shooting experience for collectors and casual shooters alike.
