Tin cans have met their match. Heritage builds the Rough Rider as an affordable single-action .22 revolver, and this one comes in nickel with a 6.5-inch barrel and black polymer grips decorated with stars.

A .22 Long Rifle revolver is the right gun for learning how a single action works. It is cheap to feed, quiet in the hand, and has almost no recoil. The longer barrel gives you a good sight radius, which helps new shooters hold groups on a target. Plinking at the back pasture, teaching a nephew, or chasing rabbits and squirrels are all within its reach.

The nickel finish wipes clean with a rag, and the polymer grips will not swell or crack if you leave the gun in a damp truck cab overnight. Keep in mind that it is a single action, so you cock the hammer for every shot and load through the gate one chamber at a time.

Count the rounds and keep the hammer on an empty chamber when carrying. This revolver ships to your FFL dealer for the background check.
