The Heritage Mfg Rough Rider 6.5" revolver in .22 LR/.22 Magnum is a single-action rimfire handgun built on Old West principles but sized and priced for shooters who want genuine revolver handling without the commitment of a centerfire magnum. With its 6-inch blued steel barrel, aluminum alloy frame, and white mother-of-pearl grips, it delivers classic single-action aesthetics and reliable mechanics in a portable package that works equally well for backyard plinking, small-game hunting, or getting your fundamentals sharp at the range.

What sets the Rough Rider apart is the attention to lockup and timing. The cylinder seats tight, and the machined barrel is micro-threaded and precisely inserted to dial in the cylinder gap for consistent performance. A hammer block safety mounted in the recoil shield adds an extra layer of security and includes a red-dot indicator so you know at a glance when the gun is cocked and ready. The 6-pound trigger pull feels deliberate without being punishing, and the flat-sided hammer pairs with those distinctive pearl grips to give you a revolver that looks like it belongs in a holster—not a display case.

At 33.4 ounces and 11.785 inches overall, it's manageable enough for younger shooters or anyone building a versatile rimfire battery. The open fixed notch rear sight keeps things simple and reliable. Whether you're introducing someone to single-action shooting or you're a western action competitor looking for a fun, low-recoil trainer, the Rough Rider punches above its price point in terms of mechanical quality and authentic handling.
