Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

Back in the day, Colt built a handful of long-barreled Buntline revolvers that became the stuff of Old West legend. Heritage tips its hat to that idea with this Rough Rider, stretching the barrel to a full 16 inches while keeping everything else that makes their single action rimfires such a good time. Chambered in .22 LR with a six round cylinder, it delivers the classic cock-the-hammer, squeeze-the-trigger experience with almost no recoil and ammo that costs pennies a round.
The extra-long tube isn't just for looks. It gives .22 LR extra time to build velocity and creates a sight radius most handguns can only dream about, which makes the fixed blade front and notch rear sights easier to line up with precision. Plinkers regularly stretch this one out well past normal handgun distances, and it makes a fun option for small game and pest duty around the property. At just under three pounds, the weight sits forward and settles nicely on target for slow, deliberate shooting.
The simulated case hardened frame gives it that swirled, old-school character, the barrel wears a black finish, and the camo laminate grip panels set this model apart from the standard wood-gripped versions. It looks right at home leaning against a fence post at deer camp. Heritage also builds in a manual hammer block safety on the recoil shield, a feature you won't find on traditional single actions, which adds a welcome layer of protection when loading and handling.
This is one of those guns people buy for a laugh and end up shooting more than anything else in the safe. It draws attention at the range, it's a blast for new and experienced hands alike, and the four-click action gives you that satisfying western feel every time you thumb the hammer. Made in the USA by the largest revolver maker in the country, it's a whole lot of fun in one very long package.
Yes, Heritage sells .22 WMR cylinders separately for the Small Bore Rough Rider line, and swapping is quick. Just pull the base pin, drop in the magnum cylinder, and lock it back in place with the gun unloaded. This model ships with the .22 LR cylinder only, so plan on picking up the WMR cylinder if you want that flexibility.
It does, and it's a feature you rarely see on single action revolvers. Heritage builds a manual hammer block into the recoil shield that physically prevents the hammer from reaching the firing pin until you flip it to fire. It's a nice extra layer of protection while loading and unloading, though safe handling habits always come first.
The long barrel gives you a much longer sight radius, which makes precise aiming with the fixed sights a lot easier, and the extra barrel length squeezes more velocity out of .22 LR. Plenty of owners ring steel at distances that would be a real stretch with a 4.75 or 6.5 inch model. It's front-heavy by design, so it rewards a steady, deliberate shooting style.
Think target shooting, plinking, small game, and pest control around the farm. The mild .22 LR recoil and simple single action manual of arms also make it a great trainer for newer folks. And frankly, a lot of people buy it just because a 16 inch six-shooter is a genuinely fun conversation piece at the range.
