The Harrington & Richardson (H&R) Model 999 Sportsman is a top-break, double-action revolver that was produced from the 1930s until the 1990s. It was popular for its solid design, accuracy, and affordability, making it a favorite among target shooters and small-game hunters.
Early Development (1932-1939)
The Model 999 Sportsman was introduced in 1932 as a top-break, single-action revolver chambered in .22 Long Rifle (LR).
It featured a 9-round cylinder, making it one of the few high-capacity revolvers of its time.
Early versions had a one-piece grip and adjustable sights, which made it attractive to target shooters.
Pre-War and Wartime Production (1939-1945)
Around 1939, H&R updated the Model 999 to include double-action functionality, allowing for both single-action and double-action firing.
During World War II, production of civilian firearms was limited, but the Model 999 remained a respected choice among civilian shooters.
Post-War Production (1946-1986)
After the war, H&R resumed full-scale production of the Model 999, refining its design.
It featured improvements such as:
Improved top-break mechanism for quicker reloading.
Adjustable target sights for enhanced accuracy.
Better ergonomics with revised grip designs.
Throughout the 1950s-1970s, it became a favorite among small-game hunters and recreational shooters due to its accuracy and durability.
Later Years and End of Production (1986-1999)
In the 1980s, H&R introduced slight modifications but largely kept the design unchanged.
H&R went out of business in 1986, but the brand was briefly revived under new ownership.
By 1999, production of the Model 999 officially ended, marking the end of an era for one of the most well-regarded break-top .22 revolvers.
Legacy
The Model 999 Sportsman remains popular among collectors due to its unique design and reliability.
Many consider it one of the best break-top .22 revolvers ever made, and its distinctive look and function set it apart from other rimfire revolvers.
