Heritage Rough Rider Combo Revolver 6.5 in Case Hardened

The Heritage Rough Rider Combo Revolver 6.5 in Case Hardened is a true throwback that brings the spirit of the Old West right into your hands. This compact single-action revolver pairs a 6.5-inch blued steel barrel with a simulated case-hardened frame and camo laminate grips for a classic, rugged look. You get a two-cylinder combo—a .22 LR and a .22 Magnum cylinder—so you can switch between small-bore cartridges without buying another gun. It’s a six-shooter with open fixed sights and an exposed hammer, preserving the traditional single-action feel that collectors and plinkers love. At $175.58, it’s one of the most affordable ways to own a piece of shooting history.

Key Features

• Two-Cylinder Combo: Swapping between .22 LR and .22 Magnum cylinders is fast and tool-free, so you can shoot cheap plinking loads or hotter Magnum rounds from the same gun.
• 6.5-Inch Blued Barrel: The longer barrel gives you a steady sight radius for improved accuracy at the range, while the blued finish resists rust and wear.
• Simulated Case-Hardened Frame: That mottled gray-and-blue finish isn’t just for show—it’s a classic look that stands out in any collection and hides holster wear beautifully.
• Fixed Open Sights: No adjustments needed—just point and shoot. It’s the same sight system used on original Colt Single Action Armies, and it works perfectly for plinking and small-game hunting.
• Exposed Hammer: You manually cock the hammer for each shot, giving you full control over the trigger pull and a satisfying mechanical feel that modern guns can’t match.

Who It’s For

This revolver is built for collectors who appreciate old-school design, gun show enthusiasts looking for a budget-friendly addition to their display, and recreational shooters who want a reliable plinker that’s fun to shoot all day. If you’re a new shooter curious about single-action revolvers, the low price and two-cylinder versatility make this an ideal entry point. Even experienced shooters will love the nostalgia factor and the ability to switch between .22 LR and .22 WMR on a whim.

Pros & Cons

Pros: Affordable price point under $180, includes two cylinders for ammo versatility, classic cowboy styling that turns heads at the range, reliable single-action mechanism, lightweight enough for all-day carry in a holster.

Cons: The fixed sights are not adjustable, so you’re stuck with the factory zero—if you need fine-tuning, you’ll have to file the front blade. Also, the simulated case-hardening is a coating, not true case-hardening, which some purists might scoff at.

The Heritage Rough Rider is a dedicated revolver for nostalgic shooting and budget-friendly fun. In contrast, the Zev OZ9 is a high-end competition pistol, and the Timney Alpha is just a trigger upgrade—neither offers the classic single-action experience or the two-cylinder versatility of the Rough Rider.

FAQ

Does this come with both .22 LR and .22 Magnum cylinders?

Yes, the combo package includes both cylinders. You can swap them out in seconds to switch between the two calibers—no tools required.

Is the case-hardened finish real or just paint?

It’s a simulated case-hardened finish applied to the frame. It looks like traditional case-hardening but is a durable coating that holds up well to regular use.

What kind of sights does it have?

It has fixed open sights—a front blade and a rear notch. They’re non-adjustable, so you get a consistent point of aim out of the box.

Can I use this for hunting small game?

Absolutely. With the .22 Magnum cylinder, it’s plenty capable for rabbits, squirrels, and other small game within reasonable distances.

Is this revolver safe to carry with all six rounds loaded?

Like all single-action revolvers, it’s safest to carry with the hammer down on an empty chamber. The manual recommends loading five rounds and resting the hammer on the empty chamber to prevent accidental discharge.
