It would be interesting if someone did a shooting test comparison of the Roughrider, Wrangler, and the Chiappa 1873.
The test would consist of firing say 5000 rounds of .22 LR through each (100 boxes) and see what happens.
Keeping track of accuracy, out of the box sight regulation, and parts breakages and wear.
If a part breaks or wears out it would be replaced and noted and the test would continue.
If a particular revolver seems to have problems right out of the box then another new one could be substituted.
It would no doubt be very revealing and perhaps surprising.
For you HRR fans, I spotted this video that you might like:
It just so happens I'm doing a head to head comparison of the 4 5/8 HRR and a Wrangler right now. Same round count, cleaning schedule, everything. No Chiappa though for this test.
I am currently at 600 rounds through each.
Both were NIB at the start of the test.
You can search for the original thread and detailed write up. The title included "Head to head comparison"
I will update at the 1000 round Mark.
There are those who report getting Heritage guns that shoot offside or too high or low, but there seems to be far more that feel their money got them what they wanted for it.
I suspect that the vast majority of Wranglers shoot pretty close to the point of aim though.
I suspect that's true for the HRR, too. At least, it seems to be.
