Bought a new gun today.

Not knowing much at all about firearms, I’m curious what makes this special over a typical .22. Keep in mind that I don’t know what “typical” is.

Nothing. Nothing at all. It is a typical .22LR revolver, well-priced, albeit a little bit heavier than some. But it’s a nice piece.

I was aware of the Harrington Richardson name but never saw that pistol before. Cool!

Not the best known manufacturer today but they were one of the 3 main producers of the M1 Garand. I always wanted a break-action.

Mine 9 shot (I think it is) is an Iver Johnson (not actually an automatic) Safety Automatic. Can’t remember if mine is the Sure-shot or Supershot. It has a transfer bar-like thing which makes the “safety” the part that’s automatic ----- but its basically a plain old wheel-gun. Its sort of a family heirloom and not much more. From a vise it will print a fairly nice group but the sights suck so bad that you would almost be better off throwing the gun than shooting it. I’m sure I could figure them out in time but ------- some day.

A friend has one. Make sure that you check the serial and springs for generation (although sounds like you have shot it no problem before).

OP might’ve overstated it some. It’s a K-frame, which is the standard or medium size for S&W.

One reason folks like it is because it’s the same size as the 686 which is a 357 Mag revolver. They get to shoot an almost identical gun at a cheaper price. Well, somewhat cheaper these days.

A . 243 brush is the perfect size for cleaning the cylinder.
