Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

There's something about a single-action revolver that never gets old. Cock the hammer, line up the sights, squeeze, repeat. The Heritage Rough Rider delivers that classic Old West experience in .22 LR, which means you get all the fun of a traditional sixgun without the cost of centerfire ammo. This version pairs a nickel-finished frame with black laminate wood grips and a 4.75" barrel, the same barrel length that defined the classic gunslinger profile.
Heritage builds the Rough Rider with the same profile and feel as big-bore single actions, just scaled to rimfire. The barrel is machined, micro-threaded, and set into the frame at a controlled depth to keep the barrel-to-cylinder gap consistent, which pays off in accuracy and velocity. The six-round cylinder, fixed sights, and exposed hammer keep everything simple and familiar. Loading and unloading through the gate is part of the charm here, and it slows things down in a good way, especially when teaching someone new to handguns. Unlike vintage-style single actions, the Rough Rider also includes a manual hammer-block safety, a nice extra layer when passing the gun around at the range or handing it to a first-timer.
This is a do-a-little-of-everything rimfire. Plinking cans, ringing steel, small game and pest duty around the property, or low-cost trigger time between centerfire sessions, it handles all of it without complaint. At around 30 ounces, it has enough heft to sit steady in the hand, and with .22 LR's mild recoil, you can shoot it all afternoon comfortably. The 4.75" barrel gives you a usable sight radius while keeping the gun quick-handling and holster friendly.
Heritage has been making the Rough Rider in the USA for decades, and it remains one of the best-selling single-action rimfires in the country. The nickel and black laminate combo on this one looks sharper than its price class suggests, and it makes a great first revolver, trainer, or truck-and-tackle-box companion.
Yes. Since the chambers are cut for .22 LR, this cylinder will also accept .22 Short and .22 Long. Just keep in mind that shorter cartridges may leave some fouling in the chambers, so give the cylinder a good cleaning afterward for smooth extraction.
No, this particular model is .22 LR only and ships with a single six-round cylinder. Heritage does offer combo versions of the Rough Rider that include an extra .22 WMR cylinder, but this SKU is the LR-only configuration.
It's one of the most common first revolvers on the market, and for good reason. The single-action operation forces a deliberate pace, .22 LR recoil is next to nothing, and the manual hammer-block safety adds peace of mind while learning. Ammo is cheap too, so new folks can get plenty of practice without breaking the bank.
Like a traditional single action, you load and unload one round at a time through the loading gate on the right side of the frame, rotating the cylinder as you go. Spent cases are pushed out with the ejector rod under the barrel. It's slower than a swing-out cylinder, but that classic process is a big part of the appeal.
