Gold-colored accents against dark metal give this Rough Rider a dressy look that costs far less than a custom shop piece. Heritage builds it as a single-action .22 LR revolver, and the PVD coating on parts of the gun adds a bright contrast to the blue-black finish.

Most people buy a Rough Rider for plain fun. A .22 Long Rifle is cheap to shoot, so a day at the range does not strain the wallet, and the soft recoil is welcoming for beginners. It is also a good revolver to teach a kid the cowboy routine of cocking, aiming, and squeezing.

Out around the farm, it handles tin cans, paper targets, and the odd varmint inside close range. As a collector's piece, the colors make it stand out in a row of plain blued revolvers.

Handle it as you would any single action. Load one chamber at a time, and keep the hammer down on an empty chamber when carrying. A light wipe with an oiled cloth protects the finish. It ships to your FFL dealer, where the background check is done.
