Heritage Mfg Roscoe Her Hr38B2W 38 2 5R Bk Wd Grip

The Heritage Roscoe is a compact 38 Special revolver built for shooters who appreciate classic lines and reliable simplicity. Chambered in .38 Special +P, this 5-round DA/SA revolver bridges the gap between retro appeal and practical self-defense—a no-nonsense choice for those who want straightforward functionality without modern tactical clutter. The 2-inch barrel keeps the gun nimble for defensive carry or sport shooting, while the fixed sights and transfer bar safety reflect decades of proven revolver engineering.

Built on a small frame, the Roscoe tips the scales at just 22 ounces unloaded, making it naturally concealable without sacrificing the heft that steadies your shot. The polished black finish on the carbon steel frame and alloy steel cylinder and barrel gives it that classic deep-gloss look—the kind you'd see in period crime dramas or gunfighting scenarios. The wood grip feels substantial in hand and sits naturally for most palm sizes, while the fixed serrated front blade and rear sight are kept simple so there's nothing to snag during the draw or break during hard use.

Whether you're a revolver traditionalist, a sport shooter who prizes mechanical reliability, or someone building a practical carry gun without excess, the Roscoe delivers on both fronts. No safeties to fumble, no magazines to lose—just a straightforward DA/SA action and six grooves of rifling that'll print minute-of-threat at the distances where defensive firearms actually do their job.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Heritage Roscoe good for concealed carry?

Yes. At 22 ounces unloaded with a 2-inch barrel and small frame, the Roscoe is naturally compact and easy to pocket carry or wear inside the waistband. The overall length is 6.5 inches, making it well-suited to close-quarters defensive scenarios where simplicity and reliability matter more than extended sight radius.

Can you use .38 Special +P ammunition in the Roscoe?

Yes. The Roscoe is chambered in .38 Special +P, so it is rated for that hotter ammunition. You can also use standard .38 Special rounds if you prefer a softer shooting load.

What safety features does the Roscoe have?

The Roscoe includes a transfer bar safety, which is a proven mechanism that prevents the hammer from striking the firing pin unless the trigger is fully pressed. There is no external manual safety—this is typical of traditional DA/SA revolvers and relies on the double-action trigger as your first line of control.
