The Heritage Manufacturing 92 Ranch Hand delivers classic lever-action performance in the proven 45 Colt chambering. This compact rifle combines traditional Western styling with modern manufacturing precision to create a versatile platform for ranch work, hunting, and recreational shooting.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard lever-action rifles, the Ranch Hand features a shortened 16.5-inch barrel that provides excellent maneuverability while maintaining effective range capabilities. The black polished steel barrel and alloy steel receiver offer superior corrosion resistance compared to blued finishes. The fixed hardwood stock eliminates potential flex points found in adjustable systems, ensuring consistent shot placement.
Key Features
- 45 Colt (Long Colt) chambering handles both standard and +P ammunition
- 8-round tubular magazine capacity for extended shooting sessions
- 16.5-inch black polished steel barrel optimizes velocity and accuracy
- Black polished alloy steel receiver resists wear and environmental damage
- Fixed hardwood stock provides traditional aesthetics and solid lockup
- Standard lever-action operation allows rapid follow-up shots
- Compatible with standard 45 Colt ammunition from multiple manufacturers
Field performance centers on the 45 Colt's proven terminal ballistics and moderate recoil characteristics. The 16.5-inch barrel length generates sufficient velocity for hunting medium game at typical lever-gun ranges while remaining compact enough for thick brush country. Weather-resistant finishes protect against moisture and handling wear during extended outdoor use.
