HARRINGTON AND RICHARDSON ARMS Revolvers
These excellent revolvers and guns are noted for simplicity of construction, qualities of safety and good shooting. The automatic double action revolver, shown in Figures 1 and 2, is made in all desired calibers. These are the standard—32 caliber 6 shot, 3 1/2 inch barrel, weight 18 ounces, using center fire Smith and Wesson cartridge: 38 caliber 5 shot, 3 inch barrel, weight 15 ounces, using center fire Smith and Wesson cartridge; in these a 4, 5, or 6 inch barrel may be substituted. In the "Police" pattern, the thumb piece is cut away to prevent catching in the clothes when withdrawing from the pocket. To enable the user to thumb-cock the revolver, if he desires, the inner and upper part of the hammer is concaved.
By pulling the trigger until the hammer catches on the sear at the half-cock notch, the cocking can be completed with the thumb. The 22 caliber, 7 shot, 3 inch barrel, weighs 13 ounces, using a long or short cartridge, rim fire, with a possible substitution of 4 or 5 inch barrels. The small frame 32 caliber, 5 shot, 3 inch barrel, using center fire Smith and Wesson cartridge, weighs only 12 ounces; 4 or 5 inch barrels may be substituted also in this revolver. The 22 caliber, 7 shot, 2 inch barrel, weight 12 ounces, rim fire long or short cartridge, and 32 caliber. 5 shot, 2 inch barrel, weight 11 ounces, center fire Smith and Wesson cartridge are especially adapted in all cases where a small, lightweight, effective weapon is desired. The automatic shell ejecting is seen in Figure 2.
