Another inexpensive revolver

Post by bunkysdad »

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.

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.

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!

Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson are rolling over in their graves over that one.

I think they were merged into one company, or partner company around the time these were made.

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