Key Features
- 6.50″ Machined Steel Barrel – why it matters: delivers consistent accuracy for plinking and tin can shooting, with enough sight radius to keep groups tight at 15-25 yards.
- Hammer/Thumb Safety – why it matters: lets you carry six rounds safely without relying solely on the half-cock notch—critical for new shooters learning single-action discipline.
- Cerakote Cylinder Finish – why it matters: resists rust and holster wear better than bare steel, so your revolver still looks good after a season of range trips.
- Black Polymer Grips – why it matters: provides a secure, non-slip hold even with sweaty hands, and the ergonomic shape fits most hand sizes comfortably.
- Fixed Front & Notched Rear Sights – why it matters: no adjustments needed—just align the blade and notch for fast target acquisition on steel or paper.
Who It’s For

FAQ
Is the Heritage Rough Rider safe to carry with six rounds?
Yes. The hammer/thumb safety blocks the firing pin when engaged, so you can load all six chambers safely. Just ensure the safety is on before holstering.
What .22 LR ammo works best in this revolver?
Standard velocity or high velocity .22 LR works fine. Avoid subsonic or hyper-velocity loads—they may cause misfires or inconsistent ignition.
Can I dry fire this revolver?
Heritage recommends against dry firing without snap caps. The firing pin can strike the cylinder face and cause damage over time.
Does this model come with a spare cylinder for .22 Magnum?
No, the RR22MB6PG is .22 LR only. You can buy a separate .22 WMR cylinder from Heritage if you want dual-caliber capability.
