Heritage Rough Rider Barkeep 2" .22 LR Revolver with US Flag Grip

The Heritage Rough Rider Barkeep is a compact single-action revolver built for shooters who want Old West character without sacrificing modern practicality. Chambered in .22 LR, this 2-inch rimfire revolver delivers the kind of lightweight, packable performance that makes it ideal for plinking, small-game hunting, or backyard range sessions. The fixed open sights keep things simple and fast—no complicated adjustments, just point and shoot. At under 26 ounces with an overall length just under 8 inches, the Barkeep lives up to its name as a genuine pocket-carry option that won't bog you down.

What sets the Barkeep apart is its flexibility and its looks. Heritage designed this revolver to accept an interchangeable .22 WMR cylinder, so if you want to step up to magnum rimfire without buying another gun, you've got that option. The US Flag grip gives it unmistakable character—this isn't your stealth EDC piece; it's a gun that announces its heritage. The simulated case-hardened finish pairs classic styling with practical durability. Six-round capacity in .22 LR means you've got enough shots for small varmints or a fun afternoon at the range without needing to reload constantly.

This is a single-action-only revolver, so it requires you to manually cock the hammer between shots. That's part of its charm and part of its discipline—you're engaging with the gun in a deliberate way. Manual safety keeps things simple. Whether you're a revolver purist, a collector of Heritage's tough little rimfires, or someone looking for a fun, affordable gun that won't break the bank or your shooting bag, the Barkeep delivers genuine utility wrapped in cowboy authenticity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a .22 WMR cylinder in the Heritage Barkeep?

Is the Heritage Barkeep suitable for concealed carry?

The Barkeep's compact 2-inch barrel, sub-8-inch overall length, and lightweight construction (26 ounces) make it a genuine pocket-carry option. Its small footprint and low weight won't bog you down, though its distinctive appearance means it's more suited to open or casual carry in most contexts.

The Barkeep features fixed open sights—a fixed front sight and a rear notch. These are simple, fast, and reliable, with no adjustment capability, keeping the gun straightforward and maintenance-free.

Is this single-action or double-action?

The Heritage Barkeep is single-action only, meaning you must manually cock the hammer before each shot. This deliberate action appeals to revolver purists and keeps trigger control simple and consistent.
