HERITAGE .22 LR/MAGNUM REVOLVER OWNER'S CLUB

[Traggs63]

I THINK THIS MODEL IS KNOWN AS THE HERITAGE ROUGHRIDER MODEL. TRADITIONAL COWBOY STYLE, WILD WEST SIXGUN DESIGN, 6 INCH BARREL, 2 INTERCHANGEABLE CYLINDERS TO ACOMMODATE BOTH LR & MAGNUM AMMUNITION. ANYBODY OUT THERE OWN ONE? I'M ABOUT TO MAKE PURCHASE OF A NEW ONE. ANYONE KNOWING WHERE I CAN BUY CCI VELOCITOR HYPER VELOCITY .22 AMMO IN THE WHITE MOUNTAIN REGION OF NORTHEASTERN ARIZONA, PLEASE RESPOND. THANKS. WANT TO SHARE TIPS, THOUGHTS, HANDLING OF THIS TYPE PISTOL.

They are a sweet little S.A .22 ,I have a couple cant beat them for the price . They arent as nice as a Ruger , but they dont cost 500 bucks.

I have two of them. One is the "standard" model with the 4.75-inch barrel. The other is the 3.5-inch "birdshead" model. Both are hard to put down once in hand, but it wasn't until today (05/05, date is changing as I type) that I got to try that second one, and I had forgotten to bring "good" ammo, so I was stuck with some dirty Remington GBs that fouled the chambers pretty quickly.

I enjoy loading, shooting, and unloading them more than with my .22 autoloaders, but I have to admit I haven't tried the secondhand Ruger NM-SS I got a year or so back yet.

There is talk on them sometimes over at the Bryco-Jenning-Jiminez forums..

I bought one and have to say, I was very impressed. I was not expecting this much quality. Goes good with My Henry 22.cal Frontier. Not many firearms out there, that you can get for that price and quality. Sure does bring a lot of fun at the range. Not a Blackhawk like my 9mm/357 which is built like a tank, but you cannot beat it for the Price.

I own a couple and my brother owns one as well. All of ours are great shooters and well worth the price IMHO. I agree that they are fun shooters as all single action revolvers are IMHO. I did purchase one in one of the other calibers Heritage made, a 32 H&R Mag and was disappointed with the accuracy of it. I have since learned that they are hit or miss in that department as the barrels are pressed in with an interference fit and a very few are problematic. The 32 versions are no longer made so I was not able to get it fixed/replaced and have to adjust with Kentucky windage unfortunately. The .22 versions can be sent back for repair/replacement though.

My first handgun (when I was about 15) was one of these. Shot the crap out of it. After breaking the Pawl for the 3rd time I passed it down to my little brother. But to be fair I shot the living crap out of that thing.

I have the birdshead version and love it! The plastic ivory grips fill my hand perfectly the the thing is just plain fun to shoot. I wish the rear sights were more visible, but some accent paint helps.
