Heritage 22lr Only 4.75" Nickel Star

The Heritage Rough Rider 22LR Only 4.75" Nickel Star is a single-action revolver engineered for low-recoil marksmanship training, casual target practice, and small-game field work. Built on Heritage's proven Rough Rider platform, this revolver delivers consistent trigger control and mechanical reliability in a lightweight, affordable package. The 4.75-inch barrel balances velocity and handling, making it ideal for shooters developing fundamental shooting skills or maintaining trigger press discipline between centerfire training cycles.

Chambered exclusively in 22 Long Rifle, this revolver feeds six rounds from its open-top cylinder, eliminating extraction delays during high-volume range sessions. The nickel finish provides corrosion resistance in outdoor conditions without the thermal signature of blued steel. Fixed sights are factory-regulated for standard velocity ammunition, requiring minimal adjustment before zeroing. The polymer star-pattern grips offer ergonomic control while absorbing minimal recoil energy—characteristic of the 22LR cartridge—making follow-up shots fast and accurate.

This platform serves shooters transitioning to centerfire revolvers, youth and new shooters building foundational accuracy, small-frame handgun operators maintaining trigger discipline, and outdoor recreational shooters engaged in small-target work. The single-action mechanism emphasizes deliberate trigger control and sight picture management—skills that translate directly to duty or defensive platforms. At 3.38 lbs, the Heritage Rough Rider remains portable for backcountry carry or range transport without fatigue, supporting extended dry-fire practice and ammunition-efficient skill development.
