Heritage Rough Rider 22LR/22WMR 6.5″ 9-Round Revolver

The Heritage Rough Rider 22LR/22WMR 6.5″ 9-Round Revolver is a single-action rimfire workhorse that lets you swap cylinders to shoot .22 LR or .22 WMR. With a 6.5-inch blued steel barrel and nine-round capacity, this revolver stretches your time between reloads while keeping that old-school cowboy feel.

Key Features

• Dual-Caliber Cylinder Combo — Why it matters: You get two cylinders in the box—one for .22 LR and one for .22 WMR—so you can train cheap with LR or step up to hotter WMR loads without buying another gun.
• 6.5-Inch Blued Steel Barrel — Why it matters: That extra barrel length gives you a longer sight radius for better accuracy at the range and more velocity out of your .22 WMR rounds.
• Nine-Round Cylinder — Why it matters: Two more rounds than the standard six-shooter means fewer reloads during a plinking session or trail walk.
• Cocobolo Wood Grips — Why it matters: These grips look sharp and give you a solid purchase on the frame, even with sweaty hands after a few cylinders.
• Open Fixed Sights with Notched Rear — Why it matters: Simple, snag-free sight picture that’s fast to acquire—perfect for casual shooting and small-game hunting.

Who It’s For

This revolver fits anyone who wants a budget-friendly rimfire that doubles as a trainer and a plinker. New shooters will appreciate the low recoil and simple single-action trigger. Experienced EDC guys looking for a light pack gun or a truck gun will like the dual-caliber flexibility. Cowboy action shooters on a budget? Yeah, this one’s for you too.

Pros / Cons

• Pros: Affordable price, two cylinders included, nine-shot capacity, classic looks, reliable ignition with both rimfire types.
• Cons: Single-action only means you have to manually cock the hammer each shot—slower than a double-action for follow-ups. The fixed sights aren’t adjustable for windage or elevation.

FAQ

Can I swap the cylinders without tools?

Yes. The Heritage Rough Rider ships with a cylinder pin that’s easy to remove by hand. Just slide it out, swap cylinders, and reinsert the pin. No gunsmithing needed.

Does this revolver come with both cylinders?

Yes. This model includes two cylinders: one chambered for .22 LR and one for .22 WMR. Both are pre-installed with the proper timing from the factory.

Is the 6.5-inch barrel accurate for small-game hunting?

Yes. The longer sight radius and barrel length help with precision at typical rimfire distances (25–50 yards). Use .22 WMR for more energy on squirrels or rabbits.

What’s the trigger pull weight?

Per Heritage Manufacturing specs, the single-action trigger pull is approximately 4–5 pounds. It’s crisp with a clean break.

Will the cocobolo grips fit my hands?

They’re medium-sized—good for average to large hands. If you need a smaller profile, aftermarket grips are available from several brands.
