The Heritage Manufacturing Rough Rider RR22MB4PG delivers reliable single-action performance in a convertible dual-caliber platform. This revolver accepts both 22 Long Rifle and 22 Winchester Magnum cartridges through interchangeable cylinders, providing shooters with versatility for plinking, small game hunting, and training applications.
What Makes This Different
Unlike fixed-caliber rimfire revolvers, the Rough Rider's convertible cylinder system allows instant switching between 22 LR and 22 WMR without tools or gunsmith modifications. The black Cerakote finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard bluing, while the zinc alloy frame keeps weight manageable at approximately 33 ounces. The 4.75-inch barrel length balances portability with sight radius for improved accuracy over snub-nose alternatives.
Key Features
- Dual-caliber capability with 22 LR and 22 WMR interchangeable cylinders
- 4.75-inch black steel barrel with traditional rifling
- Black Cerakote zinc alloy frame for durability and weight reduction
- 6-shot cylinder capacity in both caliber configurations
- Hammer-mounted thumb safety for secure carry
- Exposed hammer single-action design with crisp trigger pull
- Black polymer grips with traditional western styling
The single-action mechanism provides consistent trigger performance shot after shot, making it suitable for precision shooting at ranges up to 50 yards. The exposed hammer design allows for easy cocking and visual confirmation of firearm status. Weather-resistant Cerakote coating maintains finish integrity through extended outdoor use, while the polymer grips resist cracking in temperature extremes.
