Heritage Manufacturing 22lr Ch 6.5" 9-Round Revolver

The Heritage 22LR Rough Rider revolver with 6.5-inch barrel delivers a proven platform for small-game hunting, target shooting, and recreational plinking. Built on an aluminum alloy frame, this 9-round .22 LR revolver combines practical ergonomics with the mechanical simplicity that has defined Heritage's reputation in the rimfire revolver market. The fixed-sight configuration and 6-groove rifling with 1-14 right-hand twist provide the accuracy necessary for precision shooting at extended ranges typical of .22 LR ballistics.

The 6.5-inch barrel extends sight radius and maximizes velocity extraction from the .22 LR cartridge, improving accuracy downrange while maintaining handling characteristics suitable for field use. The hammer block safety mechanism prevents accidental discharge, a critical design consideration for any revolver carried in the field. Nine-round capacity allows extended shooting sessions without frequent reloading—an advantage for hunters working small varmints or shooters spending time at the range. The aluminum frame keeps overall weight at 2.63 pounds, reducing fatigue during extended carry without sacrificing the durability required for regular use.

This revolver suits hunters pursuing rabbits, squirrels, and other small game where .22 LR effectiveness is proven and legal compliance is straightforward. Target shooters benefit from the fixed-sight platform's consistency, while the straightforward mechanical operation makes the Heritage 22LR Rough Rider an accessible choice for shooters building fundamental revolver handling skills. The cocobolo grip provides texture and appearance in line with traditional revolver design. Whether for small-game hunting, backyard plinking, or introductory revolver shooting, this 9-round .22 LR platform delivers reliable functionality at a practical price point.
