Description
There is something about thumbing back the hammer on a single-action revolver that never gets old, and the Heritage Rough Rider SRR22C6 delivers that experience without burning through your ammo budget. This is the steel-frame version of Heritage's popular rimfire wheelgun, dressed in a tungsten gray Cerakote finish over the frame and barrel with a black satin cylinder and black polymer star grips. The two-tone look sets it apart from the usual blued Rough Riders, and the Cerakote holds up well to handling, holster wear, and time outdoors.
Why the 6.5 Inch Barrel Makes Sense on the SRR22C6
The longer 6.5 inch barrel stretches out the sight radius, which makes the fixed front and notched rear sights noticeably easier to shoot well compared to shorter snub configurations. That matters when you're trying to ring a small steel plate at 25 yards or take care of pests around the barn. At roughly 11.78 inches overall and around two pounds unloaded, it has enough heft to sit steady in the hand while soaking up what little recoil .22 LR produces, which is basically none. New handgunners and young folks learning the fundamentals tend to do really well with this setup.
Simple Controls, Classic Rough Rider Operation
This is single action only, so every shot starts with cocking the exposed hammer. Loading and unloading happen one round at a time through the loading gate, old-west style. Heritage also builds in a manual thumb safety on the left side of the frame, a feature you won't find on traditional single actions, and it adds a layer of security while loading or moving around with the gun.
A Steel Frame Rough Rider Built for Years of Plinking
Between the six-shot .22 LR cylinder, the durable finish, and the dead-simple action with very few parts to fuss over, the SRR22C6 is the kind of revolver that gets handed around at the range and passed down later. Feed it bulk-pack ammo, keep it wiped down, and it will keep punching paper for a long time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Heritage Rough Rider SRR22C6 shoot .22 WMR?
No, this model ships with a single .22 LR cylinder only. Heritage does make combo versions of the Rough Rider that include both .22 LR and .22 WMR cylinders, but those carry different model numbers. If magnum capability matters to you, look for one of the combo SKUs instead.
Does the SRR22C6 have a safety?
Yes. Unlike traditional single-action revolvers, the Rough Rider has a manual thumb safety on the left rear of the frame that blocks the hammer from striking a cartridge. It's a nice extra layer of security when loading, unloading, or handing the gun to a new shooter, though standard safe handling rules always apply.
How is this different from the standard alloy-frame Rough Rider?
The SRR22C6 is part of the Rough Rider Steel line, which gives you a steel frame instead of the zinc alloy used on the base models. The tungsten gray Cerakote finish is also a step up in durability and looks compared to the standard treatments. The action, controls, and overall handling stay true to the classic Rough Rider design.
Are the sights on the Rough Rider SRR22C6 adjustable?
No, it uses a fixed blade front sight paired with a notch cut into the rear of the frame. That keeps things rugged and snag-free with nothing to knock out of alignment. The 6.5 inch barrel's long sight radius helps quite a bit with practical accuracy at typical plinking distances.
