The Heritage Rough Rider RR22MB9AS delivers dual-caliber versatility in a classic single-action platform, chambered for both 22 LR and 22 WMR cartridges. This revolver combines traditional western styling with modern manufacturing precision for reliable rimfire performance.
What Makes This Different
Unlike single-caliber rimfire revolvers, this model includes interchangeable cylinders for both 22 LR and 22 WMR ammunition. The 9-inch barrel length provides enhanced velocity and accuracy compared to shorter variants, while the exposed hammer design maintains authentic single-action operation. The cocobolo wood grips offer superior texture and durability over synthetic alternatives.
Key Features
- Dual-caliber capability with 22 LR and 22 WMR cylinder options
- 9-inch black steel barrel for maximum velocity and sight radius
- Black zinc alloy frame construction for corrosion resistance
- 6-shot capacity in both caliber configurations
- Cocobolo wood grips with traditional checkering pattern
- Hammer-mounted thumb safety for secure carry
- Exposed hammer single-action mechanism
The extended barrel length generates higher muzzle velocities with both cartridge types, making this revolver suitable for small game hunting, target shooting, and pest control applications. The single-action trigger mechanism provides consistent break characteristics for precision shooting, while the substantial grip frame accommodates various hand sizes. Weather-resistant finish protects against moisture and handling wear during extended outdoor use.
