I was expecting a handgun not a carbine.

I tried to bid on some last year and I found out I didn't want one that bad. You did good.

Sweet! I would love to get a small .22 revolver. How is the trigger? Most rimfire revolvers I've looked at have pretty heavy triggers.

Neat little revolver, gwilly! A friend of mine just recieved a S&W very similar to that from his Dad. Big grip, small revolver. Can't wait to try it out this summer. Hope you have a lot of fun with your H&R .22, gwilly!

That is a nice H&R. I like the octagon barrel, it should be pretty accurate. Here is an old Ruger Single Six I picked up a little while back. It came with the holster.

Here you go, gwilly. This here's a real trapper's rimfire revolver. A S&W model 34-1, also known as a .22-.32 Kit Gun. My Dad bought it for me 45 years ago. And YEAH, I had one helluva good dad. Coming back from the service in a wheelchair, I think he knew he wasn't going to be around too long. He wasn't, but while he was, he taught me stuff. I remember summertimes, we'd shoot a brick apiece every week. To those who have accused me of hoarding .22 ammo, let me remind them that amounts to a case of ammo over every summer vacation. A case EACH. We shot year round, but we really shot in the summer. Since them days, this revolver has travelled more miles with me, in backpacks and canoes, than most can imagine. It's fed me, comforted me, even defended me just by its presence. It will always be a link to a time that ended much too early. When I say "From my cold dead hands...", THIS is the one I'm picturing.

Not to hijack Gwilly's thread, but I've bought 2000 rounds of .22LR ammo in the last month or so, never paying more than six cents per round. More specifically, I've bought three bricks of CCI Blazer for $27.99 each and one brick of Federal Champion for $19.99
I've had the opportunity to buy several bricks for around $35, I just refuse to pay that much. I explained how in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=30&t=20005
And it's still working. You just gotta be FAST. Those deals aren't there long. Now Russell, you want to drive from Texas to southern ohio, you come on up. Only take you a coupla days. We'll shoot .22's just like it's the old days again.
