I purchased a new H+R 949 .22 revolver many years ago and I'm trying to figure out what year it was made. I found an online post of someone whose serial # starts with AD and he says his was made in 1967. My serial # starts with AR so does that mean mine was made in 1981 ?
I never spent enough time with it when I was younger, but now that I'm a target shooter I've found it to be VERY accurate. I like the pistol but the grip seems short and kind of awkward after shooting my center fire pistols, and even my SR-22. I'd really like to trade it on a new M9-22 but I'm reluctant to part with it when it can shoot 9 round groups like the smaller target in the upper right from 5 yds. And it will shoot the cheap stuff that can cause issues in the SR-22.
