The Heritage Rough Rider .22 LR/.22 Mag revolver is a classic single-action rimfire that punches above its weight for plinking, small game, and learning handgun fundamentals. Built with a blued steel barrel and cylinder paired to an aluminum alloy frame, this 6-round revolver handles both .22 Long Rifle and .22 Magnum ammunition—giving you flexibility to match your shooting needs and budget. At just 33.4 ounces with a 3.75-inch barrel, it's light enough for extended range sessions without fatigue, and the bird's head grip style with mother of pearl grips gives it real character alongside genuine utility.
Single-action operation keeps things simple: cock and fire. The fixed open notch rear sight lets you dial in on small targets at reasonable distances, and the 6-pound trigger break is crisp and predictable. Whether you're introducing a new shooter to handguns, working steel plates, or running rimfire matches, the Rough Rider's modest recoil and affordable ammunition make it an honest choice. The blued finish on barrel and cylinder looks good and resists corrosion with proper care.
Heritage Mfg engineered the Rough Rider to be dead reliable and stupidly fun to shoot. No frills, no electronics, no complications—just a proven platform that's been in the hands of shooters for decades. If you want a real single-action revolver that won't break the bank and shoots straight, the Rough Rider belongs in your rotation.

Yes. The Rough Rider is chambered for both .22 Long Rifle and .22 Magnum. You can load either cartridge into the 6-round cylinder without any modifications or caliber conversions. Just make sure you're loading the ammo you intend to shoot.
The single-action trigger breaks at 6 pounds. That's a clean, predictable break—you cock the hammer, press straight back, and the gun fires. No long, heavy creep. It's ideal for learning trigger control and shooting tight groups.
It works for both. The .22 Magnum is capable on small game like rabbits and squirrels at reasonable range, while the .22 LR is perfect for plinking, target practice, and varmint work. The fixed sights and light recoil make it easy to shoot accurately.
At 33.4 ounces with the 3.75-inch barrel, it's light enough for extended shooting sessions without hand fatigue. The mother of pearl bird's head grips fit well and provide good control. Most shooters find it comfortable for belt carry or range bags.
