I bought my son a Heritage Rough Rider for his first gun and it's great fun! Sometimes I let him shoot it.

I bought this gun first, then watched your video, made me happy with my purchase! Thank you!

I have three Heritage revolvers and I'm so glad that they came out with the new short barrell Barkeep revolver. Of all my guns, the Heritage, NAA, Bond Arms and the Double Tap guns are my favorite. I really like the safety on these Heritage revolvers

Love this channel. No bells, whistles or B.S. just good straight shooting reviews.

I bought a couple of heretidge rough riders in 6" barrel and made my own black walnut grips for one and planning on making cherry grips for the other. They make great plinkers and learning for the younger shooters

I got two of these - though had only planned to buy one. I put a bird's head grip on the first one, and think it feels better. For self defense purposes, any gun is WAY better than anything else. But you have to be VERY experienced if you're thinking of using a SA revolver as your choice for self-defense.

They should have made it with a birds head grip. With a barrel that short it looks “wrong” with the full size grip.

Purchased this little bad boy for my wife and she loves it.

Good review. The Barkeep is a nice little revolver if you enjoy single actions. I swapped grip frames and but a birdhead on mine. I also got a small little screw driver that fits inside a .22 LR casing to use as an ejector. I can also use it to tighten the screws if they loosen up. The .22 mag cylinder works well also in the Barkeep. Fortunately the one I have has sights that are regulated well. I use mine as a snake gun and to dispatch critters I trap. It is a useful revolver.

I have been satisfied with what I have for a good long while now, (unlike many others for who nothing is ever enough) but I find myself desiring one of these little things terribly, I may have to break down and get myself one. Yes, there is still that "cowboy" Old West thing in my heart and soul.

Fantastic review! Appreciate you taking the time to create this. Take care.

Just stunbled upon this channel. Gotta say I am happy I did. To the point and informative. Had to subscribe right away. :)

Kudos, this is the first video I’ve seen where you explain how the safety actually works on these guns. Thanks…….

People that doubt or ask is a .22 good enough for self defense. should first google the origins if the very first rimfire round, the 22 short and they will find it was designed for self defense in pocket pistols in 1857. Also consider the powder back then wasn't as good or powerful as it is today. There's a reason why the 22 short and 22 lr rounds are still around after more than 160 years and that reason is that it worked back then, and still works today.

Cant beat the fact that you can swap in a 22 mag cylinder as well hands down one of my favorite rounds

Bought myself a 4.75 inch Rough Rider and bought some beautiful rose wood and faux pearl grips for it and I love it! I plan on surprising my fiancé with a Barkeep and I'm going to order the same grips for it so we have matching pistols.

They made Thea's gun's just like the 1873 Colt and they done such a good job for anybody that has had a Colt they they know the Colt shoot's a little to the left and so does Thea's gun's Thea's gun's are fun gun's and they last forever I've put over a 1000 plus rounds through mine and it still works great

Love mine - fun little gun. I prefer the wood grips over the plastic pearl - it really pops in terms of looks

I keep checking in my local gun stores still don’t have them yet. I like the style of these little guns. Will have one soon love little poppers like these.

I bought the 3 1/2' barrel version with the birds head grip to teach my grandkids how to shoot. Great little pistol. Also got a "shop keepers" holster for the ruger bearcat that fits it. Very cool.

I think the transfer bar mechanism (example: Ruger) is the more elegant solution for saftey and fully loaded cylinders on SAA revolvers.

I really hope they make a big bore version of that I really love the idea of a 3 inch or less single action revolver like the old colt sheriffs models Hopefully uberti or pietta can do the same I love toting around my single action out here in the country but sometimes that long barrel does preclude it from being comfortably carried especially once you go over that four and three-quarter inch mark Those 5.5 inch barrels and 7.5‘s can definitely be a pain in the ass getting in and out of a pick up truck It’s nice to have a small concealable option or just a lighter package I really like toting around my Roughrider with a longer barrel out here on the farm because it’s great for varmint control Great video God bless keep 2A alive

I wish they made the barkeep in a 9 shot.

Safety on a revolver single action?

I got the barkeep and put a 22 magnum cylinder on it. I also got a custom birdshead grip. Very nice gun !

I have the 6& 1/2" ,with adjustable sights ! Sweet little pea shooter !

I removed the simulated case hardening and polished the steel with a lead remover polishing cloth. Looks much better imo.

Really enjoy your reviews. Thanks Allen.

I love my barkeep. A no nonsense great little gun. Did the birdshead conversion. You can buy almost every part off their website. Including holsters. Good snake gun, always bring it with me fishing. .22 shorts are perfect for snakes

This is a very nice piece I just wish I saw the diamondback. 22 .Shoulda woulda coulda .

its not bad at all its my fishing gun when i go out on the lake its not bad against the coppereheads works great price is not breaking the bank

I believe if you have other heritage arms guns with a 22 mag cylinder it will fit this gun also.

I have the pearl grip version of this gun, nice little gun for the money. You can buy a more expensive gun but if this one is anything like my 6” barrel rough rider its going to last for many many years and thousands and thousands of rounds.. Happy shooting..

They make a holster for the Barkeep that has a pocket for the shell ejector tool.

Looks a tough little machine :o) Like your favourite flat blade screwdriver: It ain’t fancy like a cross head, but they don’t open paint tins :D

Good review, again.

I just got one yesterday, the handle is in the American flag!

I put a Birdshead grip on mine . Very nice looking gun.

Are Heritage legal in Mn?

Great video review. Also post your video on Rumble they are more friendly to this type of content .

i use it as a up close defense weapon sitting in my car or on the subway one in the belly for the bad guy while i'm sitting down

I own the Heritage Arms rough rider and I think this would be hilarious to pull out at the range

If these experts like it I'll give it a try

Nice little pistol. Love my heritage RR, looking for the 9 shot model.

I've got a Rough Rider, but think a Barkeep would be better for snake shot around the farm, without getting in the way of farm chores.

not a fan of the safety but i think its a great gun

Love it but I just can’t get past the safety on a single action revolver

AWESOME ! I hope to be getting me one , Thank you pard :)

Very well done. Thank you.

Love the new Heritage barkeep

Excellent review

Are you able to use 22 magnum cylinder?

Can you use the magnum cylinder with the 2" barrel?

Any idea how I can heat treat my frame if it's zamack? Or what have ya...

I wanted something small to take fishing with me. Loaded with rat shot for the water moccasins around here. This looks like it checks all the boxes.

I want

Subscribed!

Can you put birdshead grips on it?

Do they make them 38 special

Well put!!!!!!!!

Just looks fun

How many years would it take to shoot 10,000 rounds out of this thing?

Can you just shake out the spent casings?

I saw one of those today and fell in love with the look of it. After this? I would not have one if you gave it to me unless I could trade it for something better. Thanx very much.

A DA/SA 9 shot 22lr British Bull Dog revolver clone would be nice.

I just bought a 4.75 inch Rough Rider at Academy Sports and Outdoors for only $155. I would think that this would be cheaper. But it probably is. I just haven't seen one yet in a store yet.

I like the four click's like a colt and at 10 yards I'm right on with this gun you can carry it for self defense if you have the right shell's my brother shot a man with a 22 and killed him with one shot so people don't think for a minet that a 22 won't kill you a 22 will kill you just as dead as a 357 mag will the only difference is the 22 won't leave as big of a hole one shot in the upper left side of the chest that's all it took to kill that old boy

Barkeep for concealed carry? Fan the trigger

If you leave the whip it in the cylinder, it will act as an extra safety.

Interesting...

Just got one for 159.00 at big R..and military discount

Can you fan the trigger? Lol

I just bought one. After rebate I paid $90.00. To good of a deal not to.

Why would they not put the birds head grip on it?

You had me at the safety, ruined the gun for me. Especially me being a south paw.

They Dont make center fire guns . Pietta makes center fire guns for them

For you old folks that gun looks like bat masterson pistol

this must be an old video. Heritage is in Florida.

my bar keep woudnt fire haif the time told the company ,they woudnt even respond ,i wont buy any heritge gun again!!!

You're joking, right? For another $30, get the Ruger. WAY better pistol. Then again, too bad HR isn't still around. Had a 929, 9 shot. Any revolvers around like that anymore is beyond me.

The heritage twenty two pistols, can get out of round, or out of cylinder timing, due to the aluminum frame. If wanting to use it extensively, especially with the twenty two magnum cylinder, you are better off purchasing a steel frame Ruger, older made Colt, or Uberti Colt copy. It would hold or increase in value, and you can hand it down to family members for future use and heirloom quality. You get what you pay for, if you want quality. You will have the steel framed Ruger, Colt, or Uberty copy for a lifetime. Kevin Phoenix

4 clicks not 3.

Safety tab = Junk

"Heritage Farms" spoken like a man who shops at Kroger.

Did you really just point a gun right at your chest to show us the safety? Lmao

No ejector rod?? That’s bullshit

do not care for the safety on it.....

Why do ppl talk abt that magnum cylinder coupon like it's some big deal? Stupid thing is 29.99 just ordering it off the site. You save maybe 8$ or so on shipping with the coupon, it's not even like the cylinder is discounted or anything, you just save on shipping, nothing to get too excited about, more of a marketing strategy than a help if you ask me

Heritage has the worst customer service. Would never buy another firearm from them again..

Why

Junk gun

screw driver to take the emptys out --sissy safety --carry it with only 5 rounds in it--2 inch barrel ....you carry the screwdriver to keep the screws tight-- pug gun thats pug ugly get a Ruger--better made and better looking

Meh....we know what a heritage 22 is and its ugly safety, didn't need a 2 minute tutorial on it. More barkeep, less safety talk

The safety tab is not "neat", it's cringy...as hell.

Hi No pushrod No sale Too bad Thanks

All junk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

heritage is also owned by taurus
