Heritage Manufacturing Rough Rider 4.75" .22lr/.22 Mag Small Bore Revolver, Black Satin – RR22MBS4

A great, inexpensive plinker. Basic and fun. The safety is interesting and not a bad idea for a single action. I found it is a good idea to test different ammunition. I had one brand of .22 mag (45 grain defense type ammo) tumble at 15 yards, but other ammo in 30 grain weight shot well, about an inch high and ok grouping at 15 yards. .22 LR also shot approx. an inch high so there is some appreciated consistency when switching cylinders. There are a lot of different and fun grips one can purchase for this revolver.

I had purchased two of the Rough Rider guns, one of the RR22MCH6 (carbon hardened) and the RR22MBS6. Each with Cocobolo grips, which look great. The guns feel good but the grips are a bit small for my hands. Each gun has had misfires with 22LR or the 22 WMR while at the range. I am looking at taking several different mfg. ammo for the next shoot to see if the ammo is the issue and not the firing pin, as several people have indicated. Any new guns I always clean before I go to a range. I was very disappointed with the RR22MBS6 in that the barrel was filthy, the swab came out black and the 22 LR cylinder showed powder burns on its face. I also have trouble ejecting cartridges from the cylinders and currently have two cartridges stuck in one of the 22 LR cylinders. I will be contacting Heritage about the issues I am having.

Straight from the factory it constantly misfired. Heritage fixed the problem. After getting it back I noticed the front sight was on backwards!

I actually got this AND a 22 mag cyl. Unbelievable fit and finish... Smooth all over and nice black finish. No sharp edges whatsoever. I wanted a cheap 22mag shooter. Very happy and great price .

Can’t go wrong with this firearm. Great for plinking and great for getting your grandkids into shooting revolvers.
