    Nice. .22 are rimfire. Do you feel confident in firing it when you want?

    Haven't tried it yet, cylinder is 'sloppy' but locks up fine when cocking in SA or DA. Seller shot it with no problems. Just need to pick up some .22 long and see!

    I like the design and history of these early revolvers.

    Yes, nice pistol. Long barrel .22 is fine and a perfectly serviceable shooter.

    I have some early 1900's H & R pistols that were my grandfathers. I shot them as a kid and wouldn't hesitate to do so now.

    BTW, the .32 above sold new for $2.49, and the .22 long/short sold for $1.79. Made by Harrington and Richardson so that every American could own a pocket pistol.

    I've heard of J frame, etc.

    These are earlier and smaller than that?

    I've got to say that I love how the early guns, have this flat shape to their stock, very mechanical, "this is a gun" feel.

    Yes, they are thin and easily concealable. I often carried them concealed when I was in college. The .32 is lighter and smaller than my regular CCW, a 1956 pre-Centennial Safety Hammerless. This is an early J-frame.

    One of my favorite, older model S&W revolvers was the little Terrier...if I recall it was an "I" frame. Nifty little guns. I bought one from a retired judge sometime in the 90s. His story was he kept that gun with him in the courtroom for his entire career and never fired it. It looked unfired. The box looked brand new, too. The gun was from the 60s...don't recall exactly when. He gave me the original box of .32 ammo that he bought, too. It was missing 5 rounds. He said he unloaded it when he retired and didn't know what he did with the ammo that was in the gun. It's one I really regret selling. But, we do what we have to do sometimes.
