Design and fit — classic lines, modern finish

The HERITAGE MFG. BARKEEP is a pint-sized revolver with an Old West flair, built for optimal concealability in a light and portable package. It ships chambered with the economical .22 LR rimfire cylinder and is designed to accept an interchangeable .22 WMR cylinder for operators who want additional performance without changing platforms. Several grip options are available to complement the standard black oxide finish, and this model’s all-black on black configuration with gold PVD accents elevates a traditional silhouette into a stealthy, refined package.

Sights and shootability

Fixed open sights provide a fast sight picture and straightforward alignment — ideal for quick-target acquisition at close ranges. The single-action trigger profile yields a crisp break that experienced shooters will appreciate for deliberate shots, training, or confined-range defensive use.

Caliber versatility: .22 LR and .22 WMR

.22 LR offers very low recoil, minimal muzzle blast, and inexpensive practice ammo — perfect for developing fundamentals and carrying a lightweight defensive option. The Barkeep’s compatibility with an interchangeable .22 WMR cylinder expands its capability by providing more velocity and terminal performance when the situation calls for it, all without sacrificing the platform’s compact footprint.
