Classic single-action revolvers remain a favorite for shooters who value simplicity, durability, and timeless style. For those seeking a reliable .22 platform that blends traditional aesthetics with practical accuracy, this offering deserves attention.

HERITAGE MFG. ROUGH RIDER is a .22LR revolver with a 6.5-inch barrel that epitomizes classic American craftsmanship and reliability. Adorned with elegant wood grips and finished in excellent condition, this revolver delivers both visual appeal and a comfortable, secure hold for shooters at the range or in the field.

Design and Key Features

The revolver’s 6.5-inch barrel is a defining specification: it increases sight radius and stabilizes the .22LR round for tighter groups at typical pistol distances. The inclusion of a manual safety mechanism is notable on a single-action platform — it provides an added layer of storage and handling assurance without compromising the revolver’s straightforward operation. The wood grips are both functional and classic, offering a tactile surface that improves control during follow-up shots.

Why the .22LR Matters

.22LR is an economical, low-recoil cartridge ideal for training, plinking, and small game hunting. Paired with the longer 6.5-inch barrel, shooters will notice better velocity consistency and pointability compared with shorter-barreled pistols. For new shooters building fundamentals or experienced shooters conducting high-volume practice, this cartridge and platform are a practical match.

Price is an appealing factor: listed at $169.99, the HERITAGE MFG. ROUGH RIDER represents strong value for collectors and shooters who want a usable, attractive revolver without a premium price tag.
