Doc Holiday grips put a bit of Wild West legend right in your hand. Heritage fits this black Rough Rider with them, and the result is a .22 LR single-action revolver with a 4.75-inch barrel and a six-round cylinder.

At this size, the gun is easy to handle and pleasant to shoot. The classic barrel length strikes a good balance between sight radius and carrying comfort. Rimfire ammunition is cheap, so you can burn a few boxes on a Saturday afternoon without a second thought, and the minimal recoil makes it welcoming to newer shooters.

It makes a good gift for someone who loves Westerns and wants a safe, inexpensive way to enjoy the pattern. Cowboy-themed grips look just right on a fence post or a dinner table conversation. Though .22 is small, it can handle small game at close range if the hunter does the work.

Load carefully, keep the hammer on an empty chamber, and wipe the finish after use. It ships to your FFL dealer, and the background check is completed there before pickup.
