I had an H&R 9-shot 22 revolver years ago. It wasn't the top break one though. It shot accurately enough in single action, double action was long and gritty. It wouldn't extract the shells though, and no amount of cleaning would change it. I didn't try polishing the chambers and ended up selling the revolver.
It would be better than nothing, but make sure that the trigger is something your friend can handle.
