H&R Break open .22 revolvers are small, compact handguns that are designed for easy loading and unloading by breaking the barrel open. They are commonly used for target shooting and plinking due to their simplicity and accuracy.
depends on condition. H&R revolvers have little value as collectors. Exc. cond. $100-150...................
Single action, double action, double action only. There have been automatic revolvers (the Webley-Fosberry) There have been ball-and-cap revolvers, and even one flintlock revolver (did not work well) There have been tip up revolvers, top break revolvers, and swing-out cylinder revolvers. There was one revolver made to shoot triangular bullets, and some to shoot shotgun shells. There have been revolvers with 2, 3, or MANY barrels. There have been 4 shot, 5 shot, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12- or more- shot revolvers. There were revolvers that loaded from the front, the bottom, and the rear. All in all, there are probably several HUNDRED different types of revolvers.
Yes they make the izmech 412 rex in .357. It's actually a polymer frame but i havent seen anything imports.
Most likely HD
As far as I know Iver Johnson made .22 break-top revolvers from 1900 to the 1930's and they were all seven shot if there were some five shots made I've never seen one.
Despite the question mark, you have not yet asked a question. There have been several guns that used a hinged action- the modern Thompson/ Center single shot pistol, the older "top break" revolvers, and the antique S&W "tip up" revolvers. Please repost with a complete question, and we will try to get you an answer.
EASTERN ARMS CO. was a tradename used by Sears Roebuck & Company on revolvers made by Meriden Firearms.Meriden Arms was 30% owned by Sears, and manufactured a line of top-break revolvers and shotguns in the 1905 to 1920 timeframe. Almost all their production went to Sears. The Meriden revolvers closely resembled the Iver Johnson revolvers of the time because the plant manager at Meriden, Andrew Fryberg, had previously worked for Iver Johnson. And unfortunately, there are no public records of exactly when a particular gun was made by them.
Hundreds. They are generally separated into revolvers and pistols (anything not a revolver) But then it becomes complex. There are different types of revolvers, such as single action, double action, top break, tip up, swing out cylinder, etc. There are single shot pistols that are top break, and bolt action. There are double and single action pistols, and even fully automatic (machine pistols). There are shotgun pistols, small caliber pistols, ones that will fit in a vest pocket, and some that have scopes and a bipod. There are antique black powder pistols and revolvers, and pistols with frames made of plastic type polymers. The study of firearms is a VERY broad subject.
in the early 1900's many small machine shops turned out small break open revolvers in different calibers. Also, larger machine shops also made the break open revolvers and put the name of the firearm dealer on the weapon......so, many different dealers sold their revolvers under their brand name even though the revolvers were made in mass by large machine shops............................
Go to Google.com, from the upper toolbar select images, and enter "Iver Johnson" or "Harrington and Richardson". You should get several images of "top break" revolvers, some of which will be 5 shot.
