"Commission: Happy Birthday to Liz & Sonya"

Hey, Hellaverse fans! Here's a special commission of Charlie and all of her friends and family celebrating her favorite cousins Liz and Sonya's birthday for my best friend, @kiddoryder. It took me a long time, but I had a blast working on it for her. I hope you like it as much as I do and Happy Belated Birthday, Ryder. ^u^

"The Sportsman"

1934 H&R Sportsman Model 999 (United States) .22LR

Harrington & Richardson's top-of-the-line Top-Break, Double-Action, Adjustable Sight, Nine Round revolver produced from 1932 to 1986. Examples like this, with the single piece walnut grip, were only made until 1952.

A masterfully crafted revolver from a bygone era of American commercial small-arms that paid no mind to the concept of "self-defense" and focused entirely on you and your buddies heading out for an afternoon of good old-fashioned backyard plinking and terrorizing the local squirrel population.

For decades, humble "sporting" rimfire handguns like the H&R Sportsman, Colt Woodsman, Ruger Mark 1, and High-Standard HD series dominated a segment of the American pistol market that was more focused on blasting tin cans off fence posts rather than being kept on the nightstand to blast holes in errant home-invaders.

H&R's Model 999 never fought in any wars, and never served with any military, but its top-break design and sturdy wood and steel construction takes you back to a fascinating era where auto-loading pistols were still seen as untrustworthy and unreliable novelties when compared to the tried and tested double-action revolvers of yesteryear.

It's Science she swears and not excuse to make out. Rimfire was definitely a willing volunteer. Do you think the experiment was a Success or Failure ?

This is based on a meme that somebody made here in Tumblr to some story. I couldn't find a link to the thread and can't remember when and where I ran into this, cuz the picture lived so long in my 'maybe' folder :(( So I can only offer the picture of the og meme 👇
