Good video! I enjoy my Heritage Rough Riders. They are well-made. Not just a good gun “for the money,” but just a good gun.

More hand work than I thought. Remarkable they're so inexpensive.

Thanks to all the people on the line. I just bought my first heritage revolver today. Good to see the people who’s hard work went into my new quality firearm. 👍

Great to see where my gun was made! In these current times of low supply in firearms and ammo I've consistently seen Heritage revolvers for sale at local stores and online. 22 Ammo hasn't been as hard to get as others so that was one reason I bought the 4.75" model. Great little gun.

I would have never purchased one of these revolvers if the gun store owner had not convinced me I would be happy with my purchase. I bought the .22 4 3/4 inch barrel six shot and was impressed. I went back to the store and bought three more. I bought the 3 1/2 inch barrel, another 4 3/4 inch barrel .22 and for less than a hundred dollars more, bought the .357 Magnum 4 1/2 inch barrel. The gun is also stamped Pietta of Italy along with the Heritage name. All of those guns worked flawlessly and I put some 180 grain .357 loads through it without any problems. Dollar for dollar, for a great inexpensive gun in the single action category, I would take these over the other brands and have enough money left over for a ton of ammo. I do not believe you could go wrong with this company. They do pack their guns with quality.

Dang Never thought so much went into that 22 plinker makes me love my Heritage even more. Awesome!

Damn! Nice setup! Lots of hands on and lots of manual machining and labor! Love it. Love the anti fatigue mats and comfortable chairs for the workforce. Love the lean concept but too many manufactures and lean facilitators forget the fact that you absolutely have to have people comfortable while they do tedious repetitive labor. It isn't always about cranking out as much product as you can. You just cannot make good production if your guys and gals are wore the heck out. Ive ran CNC for over 30 years but there's something about seeing a young man manually pushing a broach with a arbor press that gets me going. Says a lot to their guys that they wanted to follow along the brand with the new owners. I hope they continue to treat them right. One of the 45's will be my next purchase for sure. Make me a real Good one!

Always nice when a manufacturer creates a quality product at a low cost, creating high value for the customer. Best business model ever. Love companies like this.

I have owned five or six of these. Always got sold or traded, and I always miss them when they're gone. So I bought another one today. NIB for $139. Just has the .22 LR cylinder, but I found that you don't really need the magnum cylinder anyway. With Mini Mags or Stingers, they kill the hell out of big jackrabbits in .22 LR and the mags are expensive to shoot and don't shoot to the same point of aim as the .22 LR anyway. I always refinish the grips and tone down the red-wood looking color on those grips. They look better in my eyes with a flatter finish and darker. The grain always comes out great, and they look much more expensive than they are. Great gun for the price, and it's nice to support those workers in the US.

I bought the Heritage Rough Rider .22LR and .22 Magnum combo about 3 months ago. I have fired this revolver almost every weekend since buying it. I paid about $180 for the complete set up. The gun is very well balanced, made very well, and was accurate enough right out of the box that I didn't need to do anything with the front sight adjustment. It has become one of my favorite guns to shoot and I like it so well that this month I plan to order the .357 version of it. Can't wait to get THAT one!

Thank you for the Heritage factory tour. I just bought my first revolver and I'm 69 years old. I bought a Herutage Rough Rider with a 4;75" barrel and stag grips. It has already became my favortie plinker. I used to work in a steel mill where we machined railroad track. I picked up and down 100 lb. pieces of railroad track 200 times an hour. Gun parts look a lot easier than railroad track. But I do know the employees at Heritage are a lot more accurate than I was with railroad track. My hat is off to each and every one of them. I did make a part for an old Stevens shotgun once on the same machine where I cut 39' rail for our foreman. I had to take it home that night to drill and tap it, because it was so small compared to the other items we worked on in the steel shop. But it worked and our foreman was well pleased. Once again, thanks for the tour, and my hat is off to each and every employee at Heritage.

Thanks for the virtual tour. I own a Heritage Rough Rider with one 22LR cylinder and the 22 mag cylinder. It's a great value and I'm impressed.

Ordered my first Heritage revolver. For the price you cant beat it. Thanks for the video tour of the manufacturing facility. It was nice to see how the gun is manufactured.

The production quality looks good. A lot of non-CNC machine tools in use and broaching means that the process is kept fast, low cost, and repeatable. I like the fixturing that's used for the machining operations and when the parts are being machined on the fixtures that the machining ops being done aren't heavy cuts that cause vibrations on the rotary indexing machines. Again, that keeps things repeatable and repeatability is the point of manufacturing. The only thing I can say that's of lower quality is the metal being used. An aluminum frame works fine for .22 rimfire, but the cylinder and barrel steels could be better, but that would increase cost. I'd like to see the process for making the steel frames. Overall, I came to watch this video to get a feel for the Heritage revolvers quality and I am not disappointed. If I buy a Heritage revolver in the future, I'm not going to worry about a lack of quality in the manufacturing process. Thanks to Kentucky Gun Co. and Heritage for making this video.

My first gun review was on the little Heritage. Great little guns with plenty of applications. Thanks for bringing us along.

Have the .22 LR/Mag combo in the 4 3/4 barrel length and love it. For the price it is what it is, great plinking gun with no problems. Didn’t realize that they’re a Taurus subsidiary, thanks for that info. Have seen the .22 LR on sale at local shops for $100, can’t beat it‼️

Wow ! What a gorgeous display case these guys have...

Recently purchased one. Love it, basically a 2 in 1 revolver. Fires both. 22lr and 22 mag. Fun plinking gun for sure.

My 1st grandson was born this past Sept. and my first Christmas present for him was a Heritage .22 revolver. Of course it'll be a while before he'll be shooting with me but he's already got a great little gun. His parents and I have shot it an love it.

test firing those guns...."The best job in the world"

Excellent firearm for what it is. I have one. And I don't have any complaints. Thanks for the tour.

Love these little .22 pistols. Have 5 and plan on getting another very soon!! Thanks for the great pistols!!

thanks for sharing this. helped me decide to buy one in the near future.

That was really a great video shows people how much work goes into making one pistol 💯👍

Excellent video and very happy that its made in the USA.

Good to know that not many of them come back for repairs that gives me confidence in buying one.Very cool factory tour.

We recently went to #Miami to #tour the #Heritage Manufacturing plant! Check out this video to see how these quality #firearms are made, and sold to you at a #bargain !! Checkout our line of Heritage firearms at KyGunCo.com goo.gl/3pd8Oz

Well that was very interesting thanks for the tour.

Interesting. As part of a brand new manufacturer, I’m impressed.

I bought one of the 22LR revolver , and also bought clin. To shoot 22mag. Love it great gun, very fun to shoot.

Great video! Impressive!

Just today bought a Rough Rider from my local Dunham's Sports retailer here in beautiful Joplin, MO. "Down at the mall". It's a 6" barreled .22lr only with Cocobolo grips. The staff could not be nicer and encouraged me to pick the one I liked best out of (8) on display. Look but don't handle. Best part was the $109.99 sale price. 8.75% sales tax. They ran a disposable cable lock thru the removed cylinder and walked me to the front door but it was a generally cool transaction. I did quite a bit of research before kicking down my 120 bucks and feel good about the whole thing. I had watched this video over a year ago and it looks to me like there is a pretty motivated and competent workforce at the Heritage plant. I was considering buying a 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan minivan recently and watched a video of how they make the 3.6 V6 engines in Windsor, Ontario Canada. Not nearly as inspiring.... Buncha listless, disinterested, individuals going thru the motions... I know I'm getting my money's worth on this baby. People make the difference! Think I'll keep my money on the Dodge. Wonder why they (FCA) would even let that video of the engine plant out.

I've got one on order can't wait to get it. thank you for this video. Yes now I know where all of the .22 ammo has gone. lol

I own one of 22s, it's a gun of fine quality, really impressive, and a excellent product i may consider purchasing another

I bought mine a couple of years ago with both cylinders for $160. It's a terrific gun and I think that everyone should have one.

I gotta give props where it's due, whoever mixed the audio for this A+ job I know it's noisy in there and I could hear them perfectly.

Awesome TY for sharing

Plant manager giving tour: “And here we have this funky thing I’ve never seen before.” 🙄🤦‍♂️

Thank you for sharing this excellent, informative video.

A lot of hand work. Raw material converted in fine finished product. A lot of people using machines. For a product of usd 200. Now I ask myself why a phone of usd 1000 cannot be made in America. And let me be clear I'm not American. But very proud of purchasing any product stamped with the MADE IN THE USA . Hope that this phone maker bring that phones factories to USA.

Thank you for the info thinking about getting one for a good long while now may get one soon

I work the gun counter at a store in northern Kentucky. We sell LOTS of rough riders. Great little revolvers. For the money, they can’t be beat in my opinion. They remind me of my grandfathers Ives and Johnson, but with a safety.

Ive owned three or four of these revolvers in the past and currently own one also. All of mine came in the old blue box, instead of the brown.. Not sure if they changed the box color when the company changed ownership or not.. Ive always had good luck with these guns and never had a problem what so ever with the function and durability... I like the fact that there so affordable. I love the big name brand guns, but spending lots of money gets old after awhile. With these guns its a win win situation... Another gun that gets talked poorly about is the Pheonix Arms HP22. They are also priced cheap and affordable, but are great little guns aswell.

Just bought 3 for Xmas. Nice little gun and a more than fair price .

I really like Heritage. Ive been a believer from the start. I have a revolver and the rancher carbine.

can;t wait to get mine , just ordered from Bud's

Got my rough rider new a few weeks ago for 125 bucks. Love it

Just purchased a 6.5" Rough Rider .22LR / .22WMR combo today. Gave it a basic cleaning and took it to the Range. .22LR would fire about 2 of 6 consistently and .22WMR about the same. The remaining rounds were light strikes and did not fire. When the Trigger was pulled, the Hammer was getting caught about a quarter way through it's travel, slowing it down and causing light strikes. Also, the action felt really "gritty" and the firing pin was a bit Rusty. Every single screw holding the Grip / Trigger Guard to the Gun was completely loose or ready to fall out. I took the Revolver home, completely disassembled and cleaned it; and polished many of the internal components. It now fires 6/6 on .22LR and .22 WMR Cartridges. Took a few hours of work but was well worth it. If you're not into, or don't have any knowledge of Gunsmithing, I'd recommend buying the Ruger Wrangler for fifty or so dollars more. If you like to tinker a bit, the Heritage is a nice little Revolver. Plenty accurate for "plinking around". I'd buy another Heritage. Cool little Revolvers. You roll the Dice on whether or not yours is going to work right out of the box. Shame they tout "Made in the USA" and they barely work, but for and approximate cost of $160, one shouldn't expect much nowadays.

Made in the USA!!!

Update got one about a year ago love it and my wife has the bar keep with a 22 mag cylinder fits her really good no issues

Love the .22 great gun and real great bargain.

I own three of the guns, two 22 with a six inch barrel, and the other with yes the sixteen inch barrel they are the most amazing firearm made really impressed with this guns firing, and the quality it there, thanks for making this firearm s and at decent price

Got one last year love it about to get another one

Thanks for your video👍. It helped me make a decision on buying my first SAA revolver 🔫. I plan on buying a .357 magnum 4.75" from Heritage 😁

Now that is awesome! Thx for sharing. I just subscribed as well.

Love my Heritage.

I bet those diecast parts are shipped up from Brazil from the Rossi plant. I've had a Rough Rider for 2 years for plinking purposes. I've put box after box of CCI and Aguila through it with zero problems. The die cast aluminum parts only support the load bearing parts of the gun.....the cylinder and barrel......perfectly fine for .22 LR. Wouldn't want to see a Super Blackhawk with diecast parts though.

I just ordered one last week. A 22lr/22 mag. Coming in on the 12th to do the paper work

I want one! .22lr and.22mag. Can't wait!😁

HELL YEAH Thanks!

Got mine for B/D Love it...............................Jim from Mich.

It is nice to own something made in the USA... I like my Heritage Rough Rider 4.75 in and 6.5 in models... I had to have one repaired and they did a good job... so they do stand behind their products... I also own a pair of Grado headphones... also made in the USA

It was so nice to see how my gun was made I love mine I shoot a cylinder full every week!

TY my Dream Gun now. Gave My 6 shooter 2 Daughter 4 protection! Only gun left is a 20 gauge s/barrel. LiL 2 big 4 CCW! So TY 4 tour sealed my conviction 2 aquire one someday. Gotta buy new left my name @ 4 pawn shops now 13 months & nev er a used one came in 4 pawn or trade. Good sign they R reliable & Keepers TY 4 ur videos also !

Great video. Just goes to show that Heritage is definitely not junk like all of the gun snobs say they are. I own several and have never had an issue. Will continue to buy more.

Their 22lr was my first pistol, loved it and so did everyone that shot it. Mine shot smoother than a friends Ruger 22. Heritage was lighter with a better trigger feel.

Interesting....I would have like to see more and explained more how the front sights are installed. I've seen several reviews where the Point of impact is off, either low and to the left or way to the right. Since the sights are fixed many are having to do some type of modifications. I noticed that there were no test shots for accuracy at this plant just test firing.!!! If they have "Quality Control" I would like to see that process in-depth. Thanks for video.

I was surprised to hear that Taurus owns Heritage. My $500 Taurus Tracker 992 was defective right out of the box (eventually traded it off for a Ruger 22/45), but my $200 Heritage Rough Rider has been going strong for years now. Would love to own the 9 inch barrel version with adjustable sights.

Nice to see all the people working on an American firearm

Just got mine yesterday. I like it. The sight needs a little help. But otherwise it's a nice little revolver. Well worth the money.

They may test fire them for function at the factory but they missed the muzzle crown mar on mine. Marred muzzle crown brand new from the factory. They should not have missed that in their inspection. Meaning they don't test for accuracy or even bullet groups. So I did my own crown job on it and now it shoots good groups, not the shotgun pattern it used to shoot. Overall its a good revolver for the cheap price and what it is and I would get another one despite the defect mine had. My neighbor liked mine so much she got a bird's head three inch.

Impressive manufacturing process, excellent video! P.S Louie's thumb must look like Popeye's forearm and rough leather

Glad to see they are made in the usa really glad 😊 i will have to get a barkeep with a birdshead

on just bought another heritage,,,makes 3 now,,,,i have a bunch of ruger single actions, but for the money the heritage cant be beat,,,,i still wish they made the 32 i have a birds head 32 that is my carry pistol at times,,,,,,so that says a lot for my belief in heritage firearms,,,,

Wow, impressive.

Fanning the gun voids the warrenty? Yet that is what the factory guy does to test them, wtf?

I am getting ready to grab one.

Well, to tell the truth, I was on the fence and after researching I've made up my mind I guess I'll be buying the heritage with that funky ass safety, man what an eyesore. but their factory video is what won me over. spending close to 400 for a .22 is insane.

What an awesome job just being able to shoot all of the guns.

I bought mine in a divorce 'sale' NIB for $100 and I like it as much as my Ruger's, plus I can shoot magnums, great plinking pistol.

kinda reminds me of the old days in machine shop.

I got one a civil war grip edition in .22LR for $179. I order the .22wmr cylinder in combination with their We the People 1776 grips. Civil war edition went on sale for $129 so bought another one and swapped the 1776 grips on the second one and installed the .22wmr cylinder in that one.

Picking one up tomorrow It's the 6 inch 22 lr 129$ Done a lot of research before Buying and as of now I like what I hear about this gun FYI only put 22 lr in this gun it says it on there website not on the gun it self

They are excellent firearms, especially for the price.

Very interesting !!

Every gun owner should own at least one. They make excellent retirement gifts

I bought a 22 revolver from a friend. Shoots good. I was surprised

I love revolvers! Own a Taurus and a Heritage.

you have all the equipment needed to build a really good gun I think what is lacking is quality control and a whole lot more emphasis on finishing I bought four of the Roughriders yesterday all of them had rust on them

Imma Gonna Buy One. :)

Hey, I just ordered one of these from you guys! Weird how this video gets recommended now

One other thing I want to mention is that the 9 inch barrel model should be offered in adjustable sights. It's almost pointless to have a revolver with that long a barrel and not have sights that are adjustable. Put some Adj. sights on that revolver, Heritage, and me and thousands of others will buy it.

I just checked the price for one of these at Sportsmans Guide, and they’re $119!!! For $144, you get a .22lr and .22 magnum cylinders.

I have 3, my original one with a 6” barrel that I purchased at Gander Mountain about 6 years ago for $199 and two I bought for my kids with 4” barrels for $109 each off of www.gun.deals about 2 years ago, LOVE my revolvers. They aren’t a Ruger but then again I didn’t pay $600 each for them either.

Dream Job!

Love these guns

I love my heritage 22 lr. Can't wait to fire The magnum rounds now that I have the mag cylinder. Can you please tell me what the best line of 22lr & 22mag should I fire

Thanks

I have the 22lr/22wmr 9 shot 4.75 barrel and I love it. I want to get the 3 inch barrel with the bird head ivory grip next? Does anyone have one of these?

I bought one at Rural King for about $139 out the door 6 1/2 inch barrel 22 Long rifle only one complaint I have is I like the old style heritage boxes with the canon and stuff on them I think that you should be allowed to order them I have went to their website and you can’t get a case/box right now but you can get an acrylic display stand,,,also I can’t get every single grip that I would like to they should offer Betsy Ross and all the rest of them,,, thanks it’s hard to get certain models the case treated satin finish hard to get,,,I do like all the different options for cylinders two different engraved I noticed one stainless steel and then regular blued I thought that was nice,,,however I would like to see the original boxes come back display case order options at least,,, I would like to see more models available through Rural King right now I’ve noticed there’s about two the shorter barrel and the one that I’ve got the 6 1/2 inch I may go for the shorter one also,,,I think it’s something like 4 1/2 inches,,,be nice to have them both by the time you’re done with different accessories and options you can trick them out really nice with a custom cylinder and custom grips and then that gun is yours you on it you created your signature firearm custom leather holster and all,,, my 22 caliber long rifle Heritage Roughrider came with an offer if I contact the company they will send me a 22 Magnum cylinder for about $30 with free shipping I’ll probably do that also how ever I’ll probably get both engraved cylinders in 22 Long rifle and also one stainless steel cylinder in Long rifle as well,,, then of course I will have to look at the beautiful leather holsters they have for their sidearms very nice 👍
