Key Features

• Classic Single-Action Design – Why it matters: This scaled-down profile of classic western revolvers gives you authentic cowboy-style shooting with modern reliability. The exposed hammer and crisp trigger break make every shot deliberate and satisfying.
• 4.75-Inch Blued Barrel – Why it matters: A balanced length for both accuracy and easy carry. The blued finish adds corrosion resistance and a traditional look that holds up to range sessions and holster wear.
• Six-Round Cylinder – Why it matters: Standard rimfire capacity lets you load up for plinking or small-game hunting without frequent reloads. The cylinder is easy to swap for a .22 Magnum cylinder (sold separately) if you want more punch.
• Hammer-Block Safety – Why it matters: This drop-safety feature prevents accidental discharge if the revolver is dropped or jarred. It’s a basic but effective layer of security for everyday handling.
• Cocobolo Wood Grips – Why it matters: These grips provide a comfortable, non-slip hold that absorbs recoil from .22 LR rounds. The natural wood grain adds a premium aesthetic at this price point.

Who It’s For

This revolver is built for the budget-conscious EDC enthusiast who wants a reliable .22 LR for low-cost training, plinking, or introducing new shooters to single-action revolvers. It’s also a solid choice for collectors looking to add a functional western-style rimfire to the safe. If you’re after a lightweight, affordable revolver that runs on cheap ammo and doesn’t need a gun smith to maintain, this is your wheelhouse.

Pros / Cons

• Pros: Sub-$130 price point makes it the most affordable single-action .22 LR revolver on the market. Lightweight alloy frame for easy carry. Interchangeable cylinder option for .22 Magnum. Reliable ignition with standard velocity ammo.
• Cons: The alloy frame can show holster wear faster than steel. The fixed sights are basic and not adjustable for windage. The hammer-block safety is manual—you have to engage it for drop protection, which can be easy to forget.

FAQ

Can I use .22 Magnum in this revolver?

Not with the factory cylinder. This model is chambered only for .22 LR. However, Heritage Manufacturing sells a separate .22 Magnum cylinder that fits this revolver. You’ll need to swap cylinders manually—no tools required.

Is the Heritage Rough Rider safe to carry loaded?

Yes, with the hammer-block safety engaged. The revolver has a manual safety that blocks the hammer from contacting the firing pin if dropped. Just remember to disengage it before shooting. Per Heritage specs, this provides basic drop protection.

What ammo does this revolver run best on?

Standard velocity .22 LR works fine. High-velocity rounds like CCI Mini-Mags cycle reliably. Avoid subsonic or hyper-velocity loads—they can cause misfires or inconsistent ignition with the fixed firing pin.

How do I clean the blued finish?

Use a silicone cloth after each range session to remove powder residue. Avoid harsh solvents on the blued barrel—stick to gun oil and a soft brush. The alloy frame can be wiped with a damp cloth and dried immediately.

Does this revolver come with a manual?

Yes, every Heritage Rough Rider ships with a user manual covering operation, safety, and maintenance. It also includes warranty registration info.
