The Heritage Rough Rider .22 LR revolver delivers a functional and cost-effective platform for rimfire training and recreational shooting. Its distinct 16-inch barrel configuration is a deliberate design choice, extending the sight radius to facilitate precise sight alignment for target acquisition and fundamental skill development.
Key Features
Barrel Configuration & Precision
The 16-inch black oxide steel barrel is the primary feature of this model. This extended length directly translates to an optimized sight radius, enhancing the shooter’s ability to achieve and maintain sight picture consistency. Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, the 6-shot capacity minimizes operational costs for sustained range sessions, making it an efficient tool for fundamental handgun skill development.
Construction & Ergonomics
This Rough Rider variant features a black oxide zinc alloy frame and a matching black oxide steel cylinder, ensuring robust construction with a consistent finish. Sighting is managed via a fixed blade front sight paired with a clear notched rear sight. Ergonomically, the revolver is equipped with black pearl grip panels that provide a secure purchase and contribute to its visual profile. A frame-mounted manual safety mechanism is integrated, providing an additional layer of control for safe handling protocols.
Operational Mechanics
As a single-action rimfire revolver, the Heritage Rough Rider mandates manual hammer cocking prior to each shot. This operational characteristic inherently reinforces fundamental shooting mechanics, promoting deliberate action and trigger control, essential for developing proficient handgun skills.
