The Heritage Mfg Rough Rider .22LR revolver is a classic single-action rimfire that delivers fun and utility in one affordable package. Built on the same proven platform as Heritage's larger-caliber wheelguns, the Rough Rider chambers .22 LR and combines the timeless appeal of old-school revolver handling with practical accuracy and reliability. Whether you're plinking at the range, controlling varmints around the homestead, or just enjoying the simple pleasure of trigger time, this 6-round .22 gives you everything you need without the price tag of centerfire options.
The 6.50" barrel provides a solid sight radius and velocity platform for .22 LR, while the fixed front sight and rear notch keep the design straightforward and rugged. The tungsten gray Cerakote finish on the barrel and frame offers solid protection against the elements, and the black satin cylinder rounds out a professional appearance. The poly grip is comfortable and durable, and the single-action-only trigger delivers the crisp, predictable break that makes .22 revolvers so satisfying to shoot. At just over 35 ounces unloaded, this gun is light enough for all-day carry or casual use without fatigue.
Heritage engineered the Rough Rider to be user-friendly and low-maintenance. The manual safety design is straightforward, and the 6-round capacity is standard for single-action rimfire revolvers. If you want maximum versatility, Heritage also offers two-cylinder versions that accept both .22 LR and .22 WMR ammunition in separate cylinders—but this model is dedicated .22 LR, which keeps cost down and simplifies your ammo logistics.

Yes. The .22 LR is inherently affordable and low-recoil, and the Rough Rider's single-action-only design and fixed sights make it straightforward to learn on. The 6-round capacity and 6.50" barrel strike a good balance between portability and sight radius, making it ideal for casual range work, small-game control, or backyard plinking.
No. This model is chambered in .22 LR only. Heritage does offer a two-cylinder combo version of the Rough Rider that allows you to shoot either .22 LR or .22 WMR by swapping cylinders, but this specific revolver is dedicated to .22 LR ammo.
This model comes with poly Stars grips. The product information provided does not detail aftermarket grip compatibility or options, so we recommend contacting Heritage Mfg directly or asking our team if you are interested in exploring custom grip choices.
The barrel is 6.50" long, with an overall length of 11.78". The fixed front sight and rear notch provide a reliable sight picture suitable for .22 rimfire work at typical plinking and varmint distances.
