Design and Mechanical Integrity

The HERITAGE MFG ROUGH RIDER .22 LR reproduces the iconic Single Action Army silhouette scaled for rimfire cartridges. Built using state-of-the-art precision machinery, the revolver emphasizes tight cylinder lock-up and exact timing of the action—two attributes that directly translate to reliable, repeatable shot placement. The front blade sight provides a simple, durable aiming reference ideal for close-to-mid range .22 LR work.

Action, Fit, and Finish

On the range the timing and lock-up feel deliberate; the cylinder aligns solidly with each chamber indexed, which supports consistent accuracy out of the box. Synthetic gray pearl grips offer a clean, low-maintenance aesthetic while delivering comfortable ergonomics for shooters of varied hand sizes.
