Heritage RIDER Revolver: Precision-Engineered Old West Icon

The look and feel of a classic single-action revolver still holds practical value today for sport shooting, small-game hunting, and backyard plinking. As tactical-minded shooters we appreciate firearms that pair period-correct ergonomics with modern manufacturing tolerances, and that balance is exactly where this model shines.

Design and Build: Old West Styling with Modern Fit

The HERITAGE MFG. ROUGH RIDER is a single-action revolver available in both .22 LR and .22 Magnum, giving shooters the choice between economical target rounds and higher-velocity rimfire hunting loads. Its machined steel barrel and steel cylinder are blued for durability, while the frame uses an aluminum alloy blued finish to keep weight manageable at 33.4 oz. With an overall length of 14.285 inches and a 9-inch barrel option, the balance is favorable for steady, deliberate shots.

Key Specifications

Action: SA (single-action) — Capacity: 6 rounds — Barrel: 9″ steel blued — Frame: aluminum alloy blued — Cylinder: steel blued — Grip: cocobolo (other options available) — Sights: open fixed notch rear — Trigger pull: approximately 6 lbs.

Accuracy, Timing, and Field Performance

Precision machining gives the Rough Rider tight cylinder lock-up and crisp timing, which are critical for consistent point of impact in a rimfire revolver. The micro-threaded, inserted barrel is engineered to maintain an optimal barrel-to-cylinder gap, helping maximize ammunition performance whether you’re using .22 LR for practice or .22 Magnum for small-game work.

The hammer block mounted in the recoil shield and the red dot indicator are thoughtful safety and readiness features. The new flat-sided hammer profile and exotic cocobolo grips make the revolver both functional and visually appealing for western action shooters and collectors alike.

Practical Uses and Ammunition Choices

.22 LR is ideal for economical range time and developing fundamentals: recoil management, sight alignment, and trigger control. .22 Magnum adds reach and terminal performance for varmint hunting in brush or fields. The 6-round cylinder keeps the profile faithful to historic single-actions while providing enough capacity for sport shooting scenarios.

Why This Model Stands Out

At a price point of $181.99, the HERITAGE MFG. ROUGH RIDER offers an accessible entry into single-action revolver ownership without sacrificing craftsmanship. Whether you prioritize authenticity for cowboy action competition or a reliable rimfire for the range, this design delivers an attractive blend of tradition and modern engineering.
