New to me H&R 686 Revolver

[Amputee Marksman]

Was in Shawsheen Firearms yesterday when I saw this. I'm a sucker for classic revolvers and I've wanted a 22 for a long time. Couldn't leave without it.

H&R 686 Double Action. 22LR and 22 Magnum cylinders.

Nice score - got to love a wheel gun!

It's a DA trigger with a side loading gate like a SA revolver? Neat!

Is that an unusually wide gap between the cylinder and the barrel?

You're looking at the gap between the cylinder and the ejection rod.

Interesting design, have never seen an ejection rod shroud like that. I'd recently remarked on the complete absence of an ejection rod shroud on the new Henry revolver.

Isn't that the ejector rod housing rather than cylinder gap

His 686 H&R is a single action design, as in the cylinder doesn’t swing out, you eject one case at a time out the loading gate. I’m not familiar with that model, he says it’s da….I would assume da/sa but in a sa style frame?!

I have a H&R 929 which is swing out da/sa and 9 rounds of 22lr. Fun plinker!

A lot of old Colts were the same way.

The 686 is DA/SA which surprised me. When I saw it in the case I was sure it was SA only.

I've been tempted by H&Rs 999 top break 22LR revolver, because why not a top break? Haven't stumbled into one at the right time, but I'm sure it'll happen someday. Plus in 22, I might actually shoot it every once and a while.

I got one of those in the 4.5 in barrel about 1980 over 40 years ago in a department store in Miss. I think it was $99 new in the box. I hope your enjoying it. Mine sure shoots straight.
