The Heritage Barkeep is a compact, single-action revolver engineered for discreet carry and immediate deployment. This .22 Magnum platform integrates robust construction with practical features, designed for users requiring a reliable, high-capacity rimfire option in a compact form factor. Its design principles prioritize concealability and functional ergonomics for a consistent operational experience.
Key Features
Performance & Mechanics
The Barkeep operates on a proven single-action mechanism, ensuring deliberate and precise control during operation. The exposed hammer design provides clear visual and tactile feedback for firearm status. Fixed open sights are integrated to facilitate rapid sight acquisition, a critical factor for close-quarters engagement and swift target identification.
Construction & Materials
This revolver is constructed with a black oxide steel frame, barrel, and cylinder, providing a durable and corrosion-resistant finish. The black oxide treatment enhances material hardness and reduces glare. The 3-inch steel barrel is optimized for ballistic performance within the .22 Magnum cartridge’s parameters, balancing velocity with a compact profile. A robust G10 Birds Head grip in black offers a secure hold and contributes to the revolver’s overall compact footprint and aesthetic.
Ergonomics & Utility
The Barkeep’s compact frame and Birds Head grip configuration are specifically designed to minimize overall dimensions, rendering it highly adaptable for concealed carry. This design facilitates efficient draw and manipulation, supporting rapid deployment when required. The 9-round cylinder capacity maximizes ammunition on board for its size class in a compact revolver.
