Hey everybody, I know it’s not Wheel Gun Wednesday but I thought it would be fun sharing with you all my pair of customized Heritage Rough Riders.
They have had the following work done to them:
1- Cerakote paint jobs because the basic black coating they come with is terrible. However the Cerakote around the cylinder hasn’t withstood the rigors of going to the range.
2- New matching grips from premium gun grips.
3- Shim placed between the hammer main spring, and grip frame. I was getting constant light strikes on the 6.5” model, and the 2” model couldnt get anything to fire at all. The shims fixed those issues with both firearms and now they strike rims with authority. I haven’t had either model fail to fire since the upgrade. The shim is made from felt moving pads.
4- 9 shot conversion. The 6.5” model came with a 9 shot capacity. The 2” barkeep did not. So I swapped in the parts required to make it a 9 shooter, cause who doesn’t want a 9 shot .22 wmr SA pocket revolver? I ordered up the parts needed to do that conversion direct from heritage.
5- Safety Post ground down. I like the safety on the Heritage Rough Rider cause I like carrying it with all 9 Cylinders loaded. However on the 9 shot model the end of the safety post sticks out a little bit past the frame and interferes with smooth loading/unloading of the cylinder at the safety gate. Now with the safety post ground down to being flush with the frame, that issue no long applies.
I hope you folks enjoyed that little tour of my Heritage Rough Riders. They are some great little firearms that really shine with just a little love.
