The Heritage Manufacturing Rough Rider RR22999MB6 delivers reliable rimfire performance with dual-caliber versatility in a classic single-action design. This revolver handles both .22 LR and .22 WMR cartridges through interchangeable cylinders, providing shooters with ammunition flexibility and cost-effective training options.
What Makes This Different
Unlike fixed-caliber rimfire revolvers, the Rough Rider includes both .22 LR and .22 WMR cylinders for instant caliber switching without tools. The 6.5-inch barrel length provides enhanced accuracy over compact models while maintaining manageable weight. The zinc alloy frame construction reduces manufacturing costs compared to steel-frame alternatives without sacrificing durability for rimfire pressures.
Key Features
- Dual caliber capability with included .22 LR and .22 WMR cylinders
- 6.5-inch black steel barrel for improved sight radius and velocity
- 9-shot cylinder capacity in .22 LR configuration
- Cocobolo wood grips provide natural texture and classic appearance
- Transfer bar safety system prevents accidental discharge
- Exposed hammer design allows single-action operation
- Black finish on barrel, frame, and cylinder for corrosion resistance
The longer barrel configuration enhances muzzle velocity and accuracy potential for target shooting and small game hunting applications. The single-action mechanism provides a crisp trigger break once the hammer is manually cocked. Weather-resistant black finish protects against moisture and handling wear during outdoor use.
