H&R 922 Manufacture Date - Page 2 - The Firearms Forum

August1410,

Your 922 has the two piece grip panels on the "old style" square butt. That feature makes it a 3rd Variation made between 1932 and 1937, and the serial number indicates it was made about 2/3s of the way through that range - so it's more likely made a year or so after 1933. You have a very nice condition example.
I've attached a couple pics for comparison.

dear jim, i just got an early 922. is the cylinder supposed to rotate clockwise with the hammer down or is something broken? thanks

afwingnut,
Early ones have no "automatic" cylinder stop. That came later with changes to lock-work, but right now I can't remember when - I believe it was around the mid '30s with the change to the "Rice" type grip.

Jim,
I have a 922 serial 125814. The hammer has a piece broken off that held the hammer away from the cylinder. Of course it's missing so I don't know what it looks like to try and repair.
Do any of your references show a picture of the hammer itself. (Numrich doesn't have any)
Thanks,
Bob

I'll send a picture if I can figure out what my URL is...

Hello, I recently acquired an H&R 922 revolver. Serial number 152306 with wood grips. Grips have the number 96 etched into them. I was wondering what year this revolver was made. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank. you.
