"game getter"

I believe those fall under the sawed off shotgun deal now.

My folks have an 1918 Belknap Hardware catalog that has a lot of brand name shot pistols.
I would like for it to be legal to own something like that now,for out on the farm use ,they would be hard to beat.
 
While I'm not familiar with the H&R .410, if they are so hard to come by, would the new Taurus 45/.410 or a T/C Contender fill the duty of the Game Getter?
 
The "Game Getter" was a Marble's product- a .22/.410 combination gun with folding stock.
H&R made the "Handy Gun" - a single shot .410 pistol.
There is no H&R Game Getter.
 
Oh that's awesome, Thank you Bill.

Slightly off topic, but semi related, I would love to have a Springfield M6 Scout rifle, .22LR over .410. If any one knows of one......

Back to topic, How popular was this H&R back in the day? Would it fall under C&R regs as to by-pass the sawed-off shotgun laws?
 
The Handy Gun was pretty popular.
They are classified as "Any Other Weapon" by the 1934 National Firearms Act, so C&R does not affect them.
 
Correct. They are AOW because they originally came with a short barrel. They have not been sawed off (never seen one that way anyhow) and are highly collectible. They were pretty popular in their day. The ads described how one could carry them in the glove box and when you saw a dove or rabbit, pull it out and shoot dinner. They would be very handy today for a variety of reasons.....
