Nine inches of barrel is a lot for a rimfire revolver, and it changes how the gun shoots. This Rough Rider Small Bore holds six rounds of .22 Long Rifle in a blued finish with cocobolo grips. The long barrel brings extra sight radius and extra weight forward.

Cocobolo is a dense, oily hardwood with a rich red brown color. It looks fine with blued steel and holds up to use. Wood grips feel better than plastic, especially in cold weather.

A nine inch barrel suits a person who wants to shoot well at distance. You can reach out on steel plates with a steady rest, and the sights are easier to line up than on a short barrel. It is also a fun gun for a young shooter who wants to look like a gunslinger.

On the downside, the long barrel makes a revolver slow in a holster and heavier to carry. It's a range gun and a camp gun more than a belt gun.

The price is low. The listing is new. It ships to your FFL dealer for the background check.
