Those old H&R's are pretty safe with the original cartridges; the ammunition is low powered and there is more than enough iron to keep things under control. While I understand a gunsmith's reluctance to repair the old timers, the real problem is not safety, but the simple fact that spending four or five hours repairing a revolver that is worth, at best, $50, just is not cost effective. If the customer is willing to shell out $300 or so (more if parts have to be made) to repair one of those guns, they can be made to shoot OK.
