New .22 revolver

[DROB]

So my wife and i went to Christmas at her moms house last night and came home with an unexpected surprise. While we were watching football her mom comes out with a leather holster and revolver in it. She hands it to her and said that your Dad would have wanted you to have it since your shooting now (her dad passes away when she was 5 so its been in the house waiting)

What she handed to her was a H&R Inc. model 949 .22 pistol. I got it apart and everything looks good, just needs a cleaning. Its a great looking little pistol, and i cant wait to get her out to shoot it.

I do have a question though, can anyone tell me if it shoots .22 long or standard or anything else i should be aware of? I dont know ifni shouldnlook for something to indicate it, but i didnt find much on the internet about it.

Thanks fornthe help, pics to come soon, damn ipad wont work to upload pics

CB Caps, Short, Long, and Long Rifle ammunition will work.

I saw the LR and wasnt surenif i had to use long rifle ammo or not, thanks!

I have a ton of standard .22 so it sounds like i should be good to go. Thanks for the responses.

I scored one of those a while back. It's not a K22, nor a Colt, but good value for not a lot of money, and you can't beat a legacy. Mine eats anything and everything. Lot's of fun. Enjoy!

i did some checking into the model number and serial number and it looks like between 1972-1975

Gave my daughter an H&R for Christmas. Hers is a 1933.

I've got one, cool little gun! At some point, my hammer was jeweled so it looks all spiffy!

I sold an H&R 9 shot .22LR many years ago; just one of the many guns I regret letting go.
