Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

There is something about a single action rimfire that never gets old. Cock the hammer, line up the sights, squeeze, repeat. The Heritage Rough Rider in nickel takes that old-west experience and wraps it in a bright, eye-catching finish that stands apart from the usual blued models on the rack. Black polymer grips with an embossed star pattern give it a distinctive look and a secure hold without chewing up your palm during a long afternoon of shooting.
Heritage patterned the Rough Rider after the legendary Single Action Army, scaled down for the .22 LR cartridge, and the family resemblance shows in every line. The 6.5 inch barrel is micro-threaded into the frame for a consistent barrel-to-cylinder gap, which helps this little wheelgun get the most out of bulk-pack rimfire ammo. Lockup is tight, the timing is crisp, and the fixed front sight paired with a notched rear keeps things simple. At around 33 ounces, it has enough heft to sit steady in the hand, and with .22 LR recoil being next to nothing, it is a genuinely pleasant gun to shoot all day.
One thoughtful touch on the Rough Rider is the manual hammer block safety mounted in the recoil shield, complete with a red dot indicator so you can tell at a glance when the revolver is ready to fire. That extra layer of security, combined with the deliberate pace of single action shooting, makes this a great platform for teaching fundamentals. Trigger discipline, sight alignment, and follow-through all come naturally when every shot requires you to slow down.
This model ships with a single six-round .22 LR cylinder, with the frame, barrel, and cylinder all wearing matching nickel. Whether you are pinging steel out back, keeping pests in check around the property, or just adding a classic-styled wheelgun to the safe, the Rough Rider covers a lot of ground for very little money spent on ammo.
This specific model ships with a single .22 LR cylinder, so it is set up for .22 LR out of the box. Heritage does sell .22 WMR cylinders separately that fit Rough Rider frames, and they periodically run promotions offering one to new Rough Rider owners. Never fire .22 WMR through the .22 LR cylinder.
Yes. Heritage builds a manual hammer block safety into the recoil shield, which is a bit unusual for a single action revolver. A red dot indicator shows when the gun is ready to fire, giving newer wheelgun owners an added layer of visual confirmation.
It is one of the most popular starter revolvers on the market for good reason. The .22 LR chambering means soft recoil and cheap ammo, and the single action operation forces a deliberate pace that helps build solid fundamentals. The 6.5 inch barrel also gives a long sight radius, which makes accurate shooting easier to learn.
Like a traditional single action, rounds are loaded one at a time through the loading gate on the right side of the frame while rotating the cylinder by hand. Unloading works the same way using the ejector rod under the barrel to push out empties. It is slower than a swing-out cylinder, but that classic process is part of the charm.
