Picked this little gem up at one of the local adoption agencies ( pawn shop ) – just can’t hardly pass up a Harrington & Richard revolver in good shape. The model 642 is a little different – parkerized frame with blued barrel and cylinder – just the one cylinder in 22Magnum . . .
running hither and yon – thought i would have a few minutes to duck into the range – and i did!
First 6 at 7 yards – way up at the top of the target / fired 5 and brought the target back thinking I was missing totally – shot the 6th one aiming about 2/3 of the way down the bottom vertical stripe – Point Of Impact vs Point Of Aim – shoots way high – except for the 6th shot POA was the bottom of the center diamond . . .
Second 6 at 5 yards a little better ( same POA ) . . .
The double action trigger pull is higher than what you really want at 11lbs 13oz – ugh . . .
Single action is believable and not too bad at 3lbs 1oz . . .
22 Magnum out of this is something else – huge fireball / really loud muzzle blast . . . and virtually no recoil!
For a better look with more pics – go to my post <<<HERE>>> on the H&R 642 – just a quick update on a quickie range trip – I definitely need to put in another requisition for a radar chronograph to my CFO for final disapproval in 30 days! – LMAO!
