A good friend of mine is looking to pick one of these up as her first firearm. When she mentioned it to me, I had never heard of it before so naturally I went off to do some research on it. So far I know its a 9 shot .22 top break, can either be DA or SA, and went out of production in the late 80's. Beyond that, I don't know much else. A search on gunbroker yielded a few examples priced from $260 to $500.

Does anyone own one of these that could shed some light on reliability, ease of use, trigger, etc.? Also, with it being out of production for some time and H&R no longer existing, are spare parts readily available? Is it worth the prices I've seen?
