Pin-up art from the mid-century gives this Rough Rider a bit of nostalgic flair. Heritage names the artwork Liberty Belle and puts it on a .22 LR single-action revolver with a 4.75-inch barrel.

Under the art, it is the same honest plinker the Rough Rider line is known for. Rimfire ammunition is cheap, the recoil is nothing, and the single-action routine of cocking and loading through the gate teaches good habits. It makes a fun gift for someone who likes vintage looks and a practical way to get started in handgun shooting.

The 4.75-inch barrel is a comfortable length. It balances in the hand, fits a standard holster, and gives a decent sight radius for tin cans and paper. Around the farm, it handles small pests at close range, though a .22 has its limits.

Keep the artwork looking good by avoiding harsh solvents and rough storage. Wipe the finish after use and put a drop of oil on moving parts. Keep the hammer on an empty chamber when carrying. It ships to your FFL dealer, and the background check is completed there.
