I bought a Ruger Wrangler. My son bought a Heritage Rough Rider. We give each other crap about the guns. Now your doing videos of both. Awesome man! We love our little 22s..
Sometimes I need to get out of the house so the missus can get a good nap...I grab the heritage, a good amount of cheap bulk, and go to the range...the leisure pace of load, shoot, unload, repeat, repeat, repeat is downright relaxing, and very easy on the wallet...our gun shows the years in scratches, dings, and worn finish, and just keeps on ticking like a timex⌚...
They work. The screw holding the ejection rod cover comes loose and needs blue loctite. The finish scratches easily The cylinder gap could be tighter. The fit of the grips is so so. That safety. Some come with front sights that are not aligned to point of impact. Mine came with a dinged 22WMR cylinder. I called Heritage and had a new one withing a week. It has been reliable for the first 2,500 rounds, all makes of ammo. They are again making 38 special SA/DA revolvers.
The Heritage Rough Rider is a kick in the pants, definitely a great value! By now I imagine you got that 22 WMR cylinder, and I already know you're enjoying it. I like my Rough Rider so much that last week I picked up a Heritage Barkeep, 3" barrel and birdhead grip. I put a 22 WMR cylinder in it, and it's quickly becoming one of my favorites. Great content, you've got a new sub over next door in Montana!
Great video my friend, I have the same heritage like the one on your video and the Ruger Wrangler I like both but prefer the rr, better trigger smooth action and lm more accurate with it, take care and stay safe.
Still can't believe how smooth that trigger is for the price...ha. Both are great plinkers. I think I'm favoring the Rough Rider as well. Thanks for checking out the vid 👍
I had both my RRs before the Wrangler came out. After seeing the Ruger, I still favor the Heritage for its more-authentic four-click hammer, aligning ejector-to-chamber, and the cylinder not free-spinning until the hammer is partially cocked. I also find the Heritage finishes more authentic in appearance. Incidentally, I do own a New Model Single Six. It definitely appears to be the more-rugged revolver, but the Heritage still appeals to me for those reasons above Thanks for sharing.
I have TWO of these. Love them both. One is the same color as your in the video, but a shorter barrel. I replaced BOTH hammers with black ones to make the color scheme match better. But they work great, and a lot of fun to shoot. But I do NOT use them for my carry gun. I use a Taurus G3c for that. I had the Ruger Wrangler as well, but I sold it and got the two Rough Riders ONLY because they have the more cowboy look to them.
2 Heritages 1 is the 6.5 the other is 4.3/4. Neither one is my goto just fun plinking with family cheaply. The 2 i have are before Taurus bought the company both manufactured in Miami Fla. I have looked at all the other budget 22's out there but for what I'm doing with mine the Heritage is my best option.
I wanted to ask you about something I just noticed at 3:18 and again at 3:25 while you were dry firing with the safety block on. Watch closely, and you will see that the cylinder rotated 1/8" off line from the barrel both times that the hammer fell. It clearly did not do this during your firing segment that followed. These revolvers seem to have a cylinder stop malfunction when dropping the hammer on the safety bar. I t doesn't appear to repeat itself when live-firing, but I thought I should at least make mention of it. I have 3 of these .22 Heritage revolvers, myself, and I have been able to duplicate this malfunction with mine as well. It does not do this when dropping on a cartridge ( I dry-fire with expended shells), but consistently jumps off the cylinder stop when the hammer hits the safety bar. I find this anomaly a little bit disconcerting, but doesn't interfere with proper chamber alignment on the following full-cock. I will tell you that I also did have a cylinder-stop malfunction in my brand new Heritage Big-Bore .357. It could slip backward about 1/32" at times, after engaging full-cock. I did not notice this until the 8th round I fired, when it shaved off a piece of the copper jacket of a .357 round, and it jammed in the cylinder-barrel gap. I discovered, later in my workshop, that the cylinder stop was just 1/64" wider than the notches in the cylinder itself, which allowed the slight backward drift of the cylinder. I had to reshape the cylinder stop to properly fit the cylinder notches, and now the action locks smoothly and firmly in each notch. The cylinder could have moved even more when it did malfunction, causing much more damage than it did! I just wanted to share this in case it saves you, or someone else, any damage or injury. Cheers!
As for the Heritage .22, the trigger, hammer/ hammer spring is what initiates the movement of the cylinder. If the hammer is not allowed to travel to its final destination, then neither will the cylinder. So it's not really a malfunction. Just the nature of the hammer block safety. But that is interesting about the .357 and cylinder stop...
@@northdakotaplinking9794 I know, I suppose I should just call it an 'anomaly' for this particular safety-bar design. I've had all of my firearms apart at one time or another, if just to polish up the rough spots that get missed during assembly. The .357 cylinder stop issue caught me off guard for certain. I had friend recently buy one, and that was the 1st thing I checked with his, before he even got it home, lol! His appeared to work perfectly in every regard, so maybe it was just my luck to have a glitchy one. I built my first revolver kit when I was 15. S&W DA revolvers seem to be the best out of the box, but are so damned expensive now.

I have that same revolver w both cylinders. It's a great clone of the Colt Frontier Scout. The 22 mag hits like a big gun.
It's not too bad of a revolver at all! Pretty stoked actually to try out the mag cylinder. 👍
I’ve been debating on getting a ruger MK 4 for plinking and a heritage. I’ve make my decision….ill just get both haha Keep up the good work man!

Awesome 👍 Yep, I did a video after this one with the WMR... Great to get feedback from a fellow RR fan!
That Tuco Ramirez impression was great, ha! Very nice to have a new review of the gun come out right when I’m thinking about buying one.
Tuco the rat. Ha! Was hoping someone would catch that bit. Thanks for watching.
I keep my two Jonny Boys in TonyU Leatherworks Holsters. I got a TonyU Holster for my granddaugters Jonny Boy to.

It’s not LR bub. It’s long rifle.
.22LR stands for .22 long rifle.
@@northdakotaplinking9794oh, you do know that. Good. Whew.
nu uh, it's 22's
Example: Hey RayRay wana go to the rang and shoot some 22's with me.
Ok guys this might kind of beside the point, but is it 'pop', 'soda pop', or coke ? lol
@@northdakotaplinking9794 Did you buy it at Cracker Barrel ? 🤠
