There's a reason the Rough Rider has become the go-to starter wheelgun for so many folks: it looks and feels like the classic Single Action Army, it runs on cheap rimfire ammo, and it just plain works. This 250th anniversary edition takes that proven formula and dresses it up for America's semiquincentennial with special commemorative wood grips on the traditional blued frame. It's the kind of gun that pulls double duty, fun at the range on Saturday and good looking enough to earn a spot in the safe as a keepsake from a once-in-a-lifetime milestone year.
Underneath the anniversary treatment, this is the same American-made single action that Heritage has been building for decades. The 4.75 inch barrel is micro-threaded into the frame for a consistent barrel-to-cylinder gap, which helps squeeze real accuracy out of the .22 LR cartridge. The six-shot cylinder locks up tight, the fixed blade front and notch rear sights keep things simple, and the hammer block safety with its red dot indicator gives newer folks an easy visual check before shooting. Cock the hammer, press the trigger, repeat. That deliberate pace is half the charm and makes it a fantastic trainer for teaching fundamentals.
At this barrel length the gun balances nicely and rides well in a belt holster, whether you're plinking cans behind the barn, handling pests around the property, or just burning through a brick of .22 on a lazy afternoon. Recoil is basically nonexistent and ammo costs stay friendly, so range days last as long as your ammo can does. Special edition Rough Riders like this one tend to come and go quickly once the run is done, so if the 250th grips speak to you, this is one of those grab-it-while-you-see-it guns. Shoot it, display it, or tuck it away for the next generation. It'll handle any of those jobs just fine.
It's part of Heritage's special edition lineup celebrating America's 250th birthday. Mechanically it's the proven Rough Rider single action, but it wears commemorative wood grips that set it apart from the standard cocobolo models. Limited runs like this tend to disappear once the anniversary year passes, which gives it some collector appeal on top of being a fun shooter.
No, this particular model is chambered for .22 LR only. Heritage does sell combo versions of the Rough Rider that ship with an interchangeable .22 WMR cylinder, but this anniversary edition comes set up strictly for .22 Long Rifle. That keeps ammo costs low and recoil soft, which is a big part of the appeal.
It's one of the most popular choices out there for exactly that reason. The single action design forces a deliberate pace that's great for learning fundamentals, .22 LR recoil is mild, and the hammer block safety with its red dot indicator gives new folks a clear visual cue. It's a low-pressure way to learn revolver shooting without spending a fortune on the gun or the ammo.
Heritage mounts a hammer block safety in the recoil shield, operated by a small thumb lever on the left side of the frame. When it's disengaged, a red dot shows to let you know the gun is ready to fire. It's a feature you won't find on most traditional single actions, and it's handy when introducing newer folks to the platform.
