At a hundred and sixty some dollars, this black Rough Rider is among the lowest priced single actions you can buy. It is chambered in .22 Long Rifle, with a 4.75 inch barrel and six rounds in the cylinder. The finish is black.

There is not much to say beyond the basics, and that is fine. It cocks, aims and fires like a revolver from a western movie, only quieter and softer. It is a good first gun for teaching a youngster or a new shooter how a single action works.

The 4.75 inch barrel is a handy length. It balances in the hand, fits common holsters and gives enough sight radius for tin cans at a short distance.

Think of it as a spare gun for the truck, a camp plinker or a gift for a new shooter. It isn't meant for competitions, and it doesn't pretend to be. Basic care is wiping it clean and adding a little oil.

The listing is for a new revolver. It ships to your FFL dealer for the background check.
