H&R Defender Special

I always liked them. My grandfather had one like it but I never got a chance to snag it. My stoner brother got it and sold it.

Way cool

Thanks guys. I think it’ll be a fun little revolver. It came with a holster that fits it like a glove. After I condition the leather I’ll post a picture of that too.

A first to me. Looks cool!

Never seen those grips on one, all the ones I've seen have a more angular stock. I've looked at them before but all the ones I've seen in person had issues. I think you done well, if I stumbled across it I would have picked it up too.

Got the holster cleaned and conditioned. Whomever wore it carried on their left hip so it has a curve. No big deal.

How's the trigger feel?

i want it!

How's the trigger feel?

Absolutely no creep and breaks as clean as can be. If I took it to a smith asking for a trigger job he’d look at me like I was crazy.

Swung by an LGS and happened upon this little H&R. Very straight revolver with no rust, clean bore, locks up nice and tight and the only thing I can see wrong is the bluing wear. I reload 38S&W so ammo isn’t a problem and despite its 2” barrel it has a pretty decent heft. Certainly would slap a knot on someone’s head if the situation required. So whatcha think?

Sweet find. I always wanted one. Congratulations. It’s a keeper for sure.
