Does anyone know if H&R made a 922 in single action only? The one I am looking at seems to be single action only. I can only find info on single action/double action models.

Thanks!

  There is no single action only listed in my reference book. I've owned a few H&R over the years and they were all DA/SA.

  H&R made a Sportsman model that was single action only, somewhat similar in appearance to the 922, but model number was 999 I think.

  The 922 is a solid frame revolver with a pull-pin cylinder release. The Sportsman 999 series were ALL hinged frame break action - no similarity. The Sportsman 199 series were similar to the 999 but single action only.
  According to all the research I have access to, the 922 was never made in single action only configuration. You have a broken DA lifter in your 922.

  The triger won't budge with the hammer down, it feels like a single action gun, weird?

  Here is a link to someone who appears to have one as well?

  Are you saying that the trigger stays at rear and never goes to center of trigger guard? If so, does it cycle the cylinder when hammer is cocked?

  When the hammer is cocked manually the cylinder turns no problem, then a nice single action trigger pull. With the hammer down with the trigger pulled, the trigger doesn't move, the cylinder doesn't move, nothing happens just like a single action gun.

  You need to post photos, including the model marking.
  
  1. On a double action revolver, the hand or lever that turns the cylinder is attached to the trigger, and it's the rearward movement of the trigger that turns the cylinder, whether pulled for double action or hammer cocked manually.
  
  2. On a single action only revolver, the trigger has only a tiny movement, so the hand or lever is attached to the hammer.
  
  If yours is as number 2, then it's a single action only, whatever the model, and not a broken double action.
  
  And just to confirm, is it a solid frame pull-pin type that loads on right side, or a break open type with auto ejector?
