The intro shows me the need for a single action revolver in my life.

Just picked up one of these from Dunham's for $99 with the Black Pearl grip. Walked out with the revolver and 500 rounds of ammo for $143. Insane deal.

I was gifted one of these for Christmas. I have nothing but good things to say about it. It’s reliable, accurate, and a boatload of fun. I also had an issue with screws walking out. No big deal, locktite addressed that issue. Buy one of these with confidence.

I’ve had mine for almost a decade shooting .22WMR and LR and still carry it around the farm to this day. Works as good as the day I bought it and it’s taken a beating.

I'd love to spin mine, but I think my range would frown upon that practice! Lol

Those are some pretty cool spins in the opening 🤠

I own the 6.5" cocobolo combo and love this pistol. The trigger is an absolute spoiler for shooting other pistols. Just bought my son the Honor Betsy 6.5" as his first pistol... Solid investment.

RESPECT As an educator all my life, I know how important it is to know my limitations. It is NOT a weakness. When you say stuff like......."for that information look elsewhere".......or "this is just for update, don't take it for anything else"..........you have my RESPECT. good job

I bought mine 5 years ago at a pawn shop for 70$ put at least 1000 rounds through it and only cleaned it 3 times. Still fires flawlessly.

Lots of great info in this video! One thing I would say about dry firing is that, even if you do it with the safety engaged on the Rough Rider, the hammering action between any two hardened parts will cause stress to the parts and to the mechanism. It's just not good for hard parts to hammer against each other. Striking a sandwich of softer brass and primer compounds is much less stressful to the mechanism. That you have dry fired a RR 1000s of times is more a testament to the quality of modern manufacturing materials and methods than a standard for best practices.

I have this revolver with a 4 3/4" barrel and an extra cylinder in 22mag. It is very accurate in 22lr rifle. I agree with your review!! great little shooter for little $$$. Watching you spin this pistol around reminds me of a story my dad would tell. His Air Force buddy shot his big toe off spinning a loaded Colt SAA.

I just bought this today on sale for $99.00 dollars at academy. Appreciate the video.

Much to my surprise and delight, my mother bought this exact revolver as my Christmas/birthday gift (my birthday is Dec 29th). I haven't had a chance just yet to go test firing and target practice but I'm already in love with this weapon. The simplicity and reliability of revolvers has always appealed to me.

I'm seeing a 6 shooter in my future. Looks too fun.

Just picked one up today for $129 and am excited to use it soon! Also looking forward to picking up a .22 WMR cylinder.

2 years and thousands of rounds in mine. Absolutely ZERO issues!! And I have 2 of them!

Just bought one. Totally psyched to take it to the range.

Excellent video. Heritage does not recommend dry-firing this revolver even with the safety engaged. I called the support line with an issue. My safety falls into firing position if I dry-fire it once. Service Support told me not to dry-fire the Rough Rider and it would cost more than a new revolver to send it in to them to fix. I stopped dry-firing it and only load five rounds to keep the hammer over an empty chamber.

.22 is the most fun to shoot. It’s quite, there’s no recoil and it’s super affordable

Snagged one for $149 this morning. Exactly like yours and I'm going to order the 22 mag cylinder and I ordered some really nice rose wood and pearl grips from Amazon. Can't wait to fire it.

Those are sweet little revolvers I've had one just like it for about a year love it fun to shoot. Just bought a ruger wrangler with pearl grips I love it also both shoot pretty much the same I'm 68 years old can see like I used to and definitely not a steady but can still hit decent with both but believe in the right hands you could drive nails with either one. Thanks for sharing be safe have fun enjoy

Bought one about 5 years ago. Shoots great. That one gun led to a Ruger Blackhawk, Ruger sp101 in 22lr and 357. Taurus 942, Ruger single 9. Be careful they are addicting.

Got mine for 119. Friggin love it so far. Got it to be my carry piece for trapping. Figured maybe I’d use it for varmint shooting and maybe a squirrel hunt once I figure out where the PoA/PoI line up.

It must have been brutal reloading that thing for 3000 rounds

Bought one today ( 1/9/2021) for only $174 in North Carolina . Loving it already

Hey,I just got one of these yesterday. Got only one box of Bullets through it,,,but OMG,,, this thing is a friggen blast to shoot!!! It's gonna be my everyday carry for a while,,,

I got one and am happy with it. I did get carved wooden grips and spent more on the western holster than I did the gun.

I'm getting my second rough rider for my birthday. I really like these little single action guns.

You can often find the 22lr/magnum combos for around $129. Just wish like hell they would come out with a double action and have it be close to the same price!

Gaston county here, And I LOVE my heritage. Had my first squib load today from some Federal bulk ammo.

Made in U.S.A. too!

I’m lucky to live on a ranch with neighbors far away who also love to shoot guns. It’s nice to go out back somewhere on the property and just practice shooting whenever

I bought three of these, one in case hardened 4.75" barrel, one in Black 4.75" barrel and one that is a 9 shot in case hardened and a 6.5" barrel. I love all of them, also have a Ruger Wrangler I love as well.

Owned one or two off and on for the past 12 years .. have one at this time .. great yard work gun , farm gun

I stopped in at Sportsman's today, the guy behind the gun counter told me up to 50% of what they sold last year had been returned for a defective or broken firing pin Spring (or maybe he said trigger spring. This addendum is why my post is edited) I don't own one, I'm not speaking from experience, just repeating what a guy at a major firearms retailer told me today 11-30-2022. These revolvers do have a lifetime warranty, and the man at Sportsmans said Heritage was pretty good on the turn-around time to repair whatever problems the revolver had.

had 1 about a year ago, had the mag. cylinder too, loved it, traded it in on an AR, as we say in Arkansas, "fixin to get another one"...loads of fun to shoot

Just bought one today at academy sports. Has interchangeable 22 mag cylinder with. Can't wait to start plinking

That finger twirling shit makes me nervous

Purchased the .22Magnum cylinder for a little more Pew power. Haven't put the 22LR since. Love my Heritage Rough Rider. No problems at all.

I have two of these guns, acquiring the first in 2012. They're neat little plinkers for sure. Regarding the safety lever that so many knock, it allows the gun to be sold in jurisdictions that require it. It also allows for dry-fire without risking the damage that can occur while doing so with rimfire guns.

I've had mine for six years - love it! Going to buy a Barkeep soon.

I bought my RR 6.5" .22LR with Black Pearl grips brand new for $75.00 @ Dunham's sporting goods last night. Counter guy said they had at least a dozen in stock yet(with different grip styles) so I called a few friends and my nephew and they also went down a got them one too. Awesome revolver for the price. I've purchased hammers for my shop that cost more money, and they are way less fun 🤷‍♂️

Spinning that thing loaded is risky fella. Either way, looks like a fine piece for the money!

For any Rough Rider owners out there you should know that Heritage Manufacturing has back in stock the beautiful Cedar Wood Presentation cases for their Rough Rider revolvers. There are several styles available all for only $29.99.

Oh man, gun spinning 🤘Good intro! 22lr pistols are always fun to shoot. I think I need one now in a revolver. I have an AR, a Taurus TX 22, and a M&P in that caliber, fun to shoot!

Picked up the barkeep about a month ago took to range fell in love with it so ordered the 22 wmr cylinder got it in and went 2 days ago and got the rough rider 6 inche version put the 22 wmr in it lobe them both so far

Just bought one for my wife yesterday. Great weapon.

I bought one and added the 22 wmr cylinder

I got one in 2017 and still having fun with it today. Mine has a grey smokey colored handle and is all too sweet :-D

I have one that is over twenty years old. Not as nice a hammer or grips but still works flawlessly and prolly three time the amount of rounds through it. Bought the shorter barrel about ten years ago with the nicer hammer and nicer grips and maybe 5 thousand rounds and still works. Well I needed another 6.5 inch barrel with the nicer grips and hammer. Chose another Heritage. I don't care for the Ruger Wrangler. Although I do like my Mini 14 and 1022. But my Heritage .22s work the same as my Uberti Cattleman. And a hell of a lot cheaper to run through .22 than .45 Colt. And honestly you want your little guns to mimic your big guns.

For the money it's definitely worth it I have 3 of them no issues with any of them

Had one for years now love it. Great for snakes and such.

Whoa! That’s hours and hours!! In a single action!!

I love the heritage rough rider bought mine at about 125 and worth every penny

Made with either a steel or alloy frame, these Rough Riders are the work horses of the . 22 caliber lines. Sporting a beautiful Black Satin Finish, these revolvers offer yet another alternative to bluing, as this special finish is perfect when non-glare barrels and actions are preferred.

I have owned a lot of guns and the heritage rough rider is one of my favorites if it would have been produced back in the old days it would carry the same notoriety as a Colt even tho it just a 22 the quality is up there for a cheap revolver i carry mine mainly when out on the property doing some work i dont mind it getting a little dusty or scuffed they were meant to be used and worn out

Lol finally got one for myself! This will cost a lot less when i want to have some fun in the range. Love my czp10f and g3 but i am saving my ammo for now till everything gets back to normal.

Tons of fun, mine something must have come loose on mine, locked up the hammer, cylinder and trigger. Took it apart and the trigger spring popped over into the wrong spot, put it back together and no issues

I don't care what people say i like it and i copy it. It is a lot of fun. Thank you.

I got one a few years back and I love it!

Hello, I recently got this gun, thanks very much this is such a good for newbies

My trigger spring broke very early on with snap caps and doing those cool spins

The trigger spring broke on mine but it was only $5 for a new one

The trigger spring broke on mine before I ever got to shoot it from just cocking the hammer back and letting it down. But it was a cheap and easy replacement

Always showing up to the party late. Man these prices have gone up and long gone is the free shipping on it. Paid for mine even though on sale, but it was like paying full price in person after FFL transfer, shipping and taxes. But I've got mine now and can't wait to shoot it ASAP! Thanks for the video and tips. Solidified my reasons for purchasing also.

I picked one of these up checking reviews great pistol work bud👍🏻

Picking up the American flag one today. Bass pro shop has it for $109. $30 rebate is going on right now making it a BRAND NEW $79 revolver. Can't beat it

Can't wait for mine to come in just keep looking at new videos of it😂

I love my Rough Rider, it's so fun to shoot with .22 Magnum, I just wish the price of the ammo would go back down

Every one just be careful when spinning a single or double action. My uncle shot his self in the leg when he was 14 or so doing this shit watching rawhide or gunsmoke. I ant yo Moma just be careful.

I thought I was watching Doc Holiday there for a minute...! LOL Gotta love them 22 revolvers...!

You’ll shoot your eye out kid…. Especially spinning that gun around like that! 😂

Great video. I am thinking about buying one of these, but they are hard to find in my area in NC. But guns and ammo are in high demand, and I mean any gun and any ammo.

Just bought the .22wmr cylinder for mine.

Great vids always ... The rough rider in .22 WMR is alot of fun

For 140 gun im loving it!

Just bought 2 of these from PSA @ $119. (Free .22mag cylinder with rebate, still in stock on 16 May, fyi). Started thinking I might have a problem, buying 2 of the same gun I never even wanted, just on a whim. Now I think I should have bought a couple more. 😂

I have more money than what this costs in a few boxes of .45 JHP's that I have stored. Hell, I have more money in high cap mags that I will never use. I pulled the trigger 😎 and bought one today. I am no gun snob, but a sweet shooting single .22 that is fun to shoot? Sounded sketchy...but Done and done. Shooting ammo that costs .50 to 1.00+ around is painful to the wallet. And love how the shooter is forced to slooooow down and enjoy the experience. Kinda like listening to an old analog vinyl record. Things you have have been missing all along may come to light and bring some enjoyment.

I have colts rugars Smith's I like my heritage more with replacement grips a cylinders holsters they aren't that cheap but those white and black stag grips are great

“Look Da’lin it’s Johnny Ringo, the deadliest pistolier since Wild Bill they say.” -Doc Holiday- your pretty good with that, makes me wanna dig out my Stetson, go stand in front of the mirror. Draw Mister! Lmao, skin that smoke wagon and see what happens lololol

I'm a female with small hands. I keep this gem in my bed, but if I tried to spin it I'd end up in hospital. You danged ol' men and your big ol' hands. grrrrr

Super fun. I have the original with the handle rounded at the bottom.

I just ordered mine from buds gun shop, January 13 2023,89 dollars after rebate, can't wait to get it.take care and stay safe.

Damn I want one of these now

Just bought the longer barrel version for 119, must be the only gun that’s not going up in price, 119 on sale of course, I think they’re beautiful for a fun gun, dies dry fire with safety off do damage? Dry fire being a good drill and all

Solid gun, I have a few. Only the paint around the part that holds the cylinder seems to be flaking a little on a couple. But I do clean the gun after every range visit. They run flawlessly and only wish the larger bore models were more widely available like these 22’s are.

Those of you who own this. When on the 3rd click, does the hammer drop when you pull the trigger (mine does, and the barrel is not lined up with the cylinder, so it seems to be very dangerous)? I won't do it on purpose, but if you fire quickly there is a very real possibility you'll pull the trigger when it's on the 3rd click...

Absolutely love mine!

I think it would make for a very interesting video if you could compare Heritage Rough Rider and Ruger's Wranger.

breaking as many firearm safety rules as possible I see

Nice moves ,reminds me of Three Amigos

Sigma Male gunslinger, I wouldnt wanna be anywhere near this guy during high noon, awesome skills!

can u reload another cylinder for speed or is it one at a time

Thanks

Just picked a used one up about 3 weeks ago. Haven't shot it yet just wanted one.

Make sure to tighten the ejection rod screw after a range day. Mine fell apart at the range and could find the screw. Op just heard him say he locktight-ed it all

Just got one myself wanted a revolver in a small caliber

Can you do another update? Is it still holding up?

Calm down there Doc Holliday! hahaha.

I picked one up at Christmas last year they had them for $99. Onlt thing I didn't care for was the stained handles turned my hand "orange" when I shot it in the rain
