Exceptional mid-production H&R USRA single shot target pistol, named after the United States Revolver Association, with scarce 7 inch barrel sporting a separable sight protector. The pistol that put the Colt Camp Perry and the S&W Straight Line to shame!

Description:

H&R U.S.R.A. Model single shot target pistol with tip-up 7" barrel having ramped, undercut, Patridge front sight guarded by separable protector, elevation-adjustable rear sight, automatic extractor, and short hammer fall. Approximately 3500 assembled between 1928-1941, cal. .22 LR, SN: 1843. Top of rib marked "HARRINGTON & RICHARDSON ARMS CO. / WORCESTER, MASS. U.S.A."

Walnut grip with tang extension and generous checkered panels, secured to frame with single screw at rear. This model achieved such exceptional accuracy that it was adopted by the U.S. Army Pistol Team and gained prominence in 1932 when an H&R pistol was used to set a new U.S. pistol record, establishing it as the most famous firearm of its kind during that era.
