The Heritage Manufacturing 92 Ranch Hand delivers classic lever-action performance in a compact, maneuverable platform chambered in powerful .44 Magnum. This large-loop lever rifle combines traditional Western styling with modern manufacturing precision for both recreational shooting and practical applications.
What Makes This Different
The Ranch Hand features a shortened 16.5-inch barrel that maintains velocity while improving handling in tight spaces compared to full-length rifles. The large loop lever accommodates gloved hands and enables faster cycling, while the fixed hardwood stock provides a stable shooting platform. The black polished finish on both barrel and receiver offers corrosion resistance with classic appeal.
Key Features
- 8-round tubular magazine capacity for .44 Magnum/.44 Special cartridges
- 16.5-inch black polished steel barrel optimized for velocity retention
- Large loop lever design for enhanced manipulation and cycling speed
- Fixed hardwood stock with traditional straight grip configuration
- Black polished alloy steel receiver with side loading gate

The .44 Magnum chambering provides substantial stopping power for hunting medium game at moderate ranges, while also accepting .44 Special cartridges for reduced recoil practice sessions. The lever-action mechanism cycles smoothly through the full magazine capacity, and the shortened barrel length makes it suitable for brush hunting or ranch work where quick target acquisition matters.
