Every once in a while a gun comes along that makes the whole range stop and look. The Heritage Rough Rider with the 16 inch barrel is one of those. Inspired by the legendary Colt Buntline of the 1870s, this thing stretches the familiar single action rimfire out to a full 21.375 inches overall, and there is nothing else quite like it hanging on the wall at your average gun counter. It still runs like a Rough Rider though: half-cock the hammer, load through the gate, punch empties out with the spring-loaded ejector rod, and enjoy that satisfying click-click-click of a proper single action.
Beyond the wow factor, the long tube earns its keep. A .22LR picks up extra velocity from the added barrel length, and the stretched sight radius between the fixed blade front and notched rear makes precise shooting easier than you would expect from budget rimfire ammo. At 45.82 ounces the weight sits out front, which steadies your hold on small targets at distances that would embarrass a snub nose. Owners regularly report tight lockup, smooth timing, and better accuracy than the price tag suggests, whether they are ringing steel, popping cans, or handling pest duty around the property.
The alloy frame keeps things manageable, the blued finish looks right at home with the western styling, and the cocobolo grips add warm reddish wood grain that photographs as good as it feels. You also get Heritage's familiar frame-mounted safety for an extra layer of peace of mind between range sessions. Like other 6-shot Rough Riders, this one is compatible with Heritage's .22 WMR cylinder, sold separately, so you can step up to magnum power when the mood strikes.
Is it practical? That is not really the point. This is the revolver you bring out when you want to have fun, start conversations, and send a lot of inexpensive rimfire downrange with a grin on your face. Plinker, small game tool, collection piece, wall candy that shoots straight, it wears all those hats well.
Yes. Like the rest of Heritage's 6-shot small bore line, this model accepts the Heritage .22 WMR cylinder, which is sold separately. Note that this particular SKU ships with the .22LR cylinder only, so if you want to run magnums you will need to pick up the swap cylinder. Heritage also sells a dual-cylinder combo version under a different part number.
It works like a traditional single action. Set the hammer to the half-cock notch so the cylinder spins freely, open the loading gate, and drop rounds in one chamber at a time. To unload, use the spring-loaded ejector rod under the barrel to push each empty case out through the gate.
It splits the difference. The long barrel adds velocity to .22LR and the extended sight radius makes it surprisingly accurate, so plenty of owners use it for plinking and small game. That said, most people buy it because it is a blast at the range and an instant conversation starter, and it delivers on both counts.
Yes, it has a frame-mounted hammer block safety, which is a feature you will not find on most traditional single action designs. It lets you block the hammer manually for added peace of mind. Standard single action handling rules still apply, so treat it like any other revolver.
