Another inexpensive revolver
I never met a revolver I didn't like at least a little bit. After buying a Ruger Wrangler I was very surprised at how much I enjoyed it and for only 200.00. So I spent another 30 bucks for grips to dress it up a little. Then I came across a Christmas sale that I couldn't resist. Everyone knows of the Heritage Rough Rider and has a opinion on them. What I was hearing was that the negative comments were almost entirely by people who didn't actually own one. So I joined the ranks of people that owned Rough Riders and liked em and I ordered online a birdshead model combo, which includes a 22 mag cylinder. For the price I was really surprised at how well the pistol feels. The finish is ok, not like a nice blued revolver, but that's how they do it. That's how they keep the cost down. And it's lots of fun to shoot. I paid 129.00 plus another 20 to my FFL dealer.

That's a neat addition!!!!
I still want that Wrangler... And the Heritige would be cool too; Especially with the 22 Mag cylinder.

Heritage is in the process of releasing a new model, the Rough Rider Rancher, a 16.25" barrel carbine with a walnut stock and leather sling.

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Re: Another inexpensive revolver
You guys got me looking. $129.00 with both cylinders sounds like a killer deal. Palmetto has those in .22 L.R. without the extra cylinder for $119.00. I showed the deal to my son and I think he is going to get one. I love it when he gets one, and I get to play with it for free. If I am slick, I will be able to shoot his ammo too!

I think they were merged into one company, or partner company around the time these were made.SA1911a1 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 22, 2019 3:34 pmMr. Smith and Mr. Wesson are rolling over in their graves over that one.steelbuttplate wrote: ↑Sun Dec 22, 2019 12:51 pm AND STILL ANOTHER ONE, inexpensive, but not cheap.

After sending the first issue back the Army will be getting Sig's. There should be a lot of Beretta M9's around soon.
