When things are relatively inexpensive folks are more likely to splurge on them?

Not for me.

Proof that if we had used electrical tape to strap a Nydar sight to the H&R 929 (with ugly plastic grips) that belonged to a buddy's dad, we would not have been obtuse, but prescient. TACTICALLY prescient... with the "H&R Tactical Farmer."

Been done. ;)

Back in the mid 1970s I had a Ruger Single Six with a 1.3x Bushnell Phantom scope on it. It had a weird spring steel clip that fit through the cylinder window and the scope fastened to it with a dovetail rail like a 22 rifle.

It didn't have a fiber optic front sight though, because they hadn't been invented yet.

This thing combines the drawbacks of a revolver with the drawbacks of a rifle. Plus it has fixed sights, which I think was last attempted on the late, great Volkssturmgewehrs of the mid-1940s.

On the plus side, it has one of the better Freudian slips in gun marketing copy:


The Rough Rider® Rancher™ carbine bridges the gap between rifle and revolver….

Sorry wrong link. The one I want has adjustable sights. I get all the shortcomings. I still want one :)

[Hambo]

I own two Heritage revolvers (not the Tactical) because a friend gave me gift card for them. For those who can remember jokes of the last century, they're like fat girls and mopeds.

[HeavyDuty]

I’ve never heard of these before. I assume the quality is commensurate with the low price? This is actually rather appealing: https://heritagemfg.com/small-bore/bird-head-rough-rider/49-3-5-rough-rider-22-lr-22-wmr-black-standard-cocobolo

[Crazy Dane]

I have shot a couple of these not the tactical though and they seem to be decent for the price. A little rough around the edges but accurate enough to hit tin cans on demand. Weird safety too.

In the words of the friend that has these " they are cheap enough to vacuum pack with a box of ammo and stick in a stump or under a rock". I haven't done it, but I would believe him if he told me he had more than a few stashed in the woods.

[Hambo]

Yes. I read somewhere that they're the old FIE from the 1980s, including the weird safety. If something breaks you can buy everything except the frame and barrel from the company. You'll never mistake it for a Ruger or a vintage Colt New Frontier, but they're always willing to put out.

[HeavyDuty]

Meh. If I want a little birdshead .22 SA, I’d probably do better with the Ruger for about the same price.

And it has a safety??

[Half Moon]

And it has a safety??

My sister had a heritage .22 back in the 90's. If the design hasn't changed, there's a lever on the left side that rotates a block in front of the hammer to prevent the hammer from fully falling when the safety is on. Kind of hinky and not elegant but a working solution for carrying a full cylinder I guess.

Don't know if quality had improved but that 90's version was really poorly machined and rough. Then again my sister couldn't afford a Ruger (like my Super Blackhawk she loved) and the price point on the Heritage was under $100 through Shotgun News.

[awp_101]

They remind me of the Rohm and RG cast frame rimfire revolvers. Maybe finished a little better. I was told several years ago their centerfire offerings were of better quality than their rimfires but I never bothered to track one down to find out.


Yes. I read somewhere that they're the old FIE from the 1980s, including the weird safety.
That makes sense. I think the FIE offerings were mainly pre-68 designs that were changed just enough to get around Saturday Night Special laws.

Even abominations need tier-1 exemplars.

The fact any of you can talk seriously about this monstrosity is disappointing. I can think of so many better things to do with $200, like buying over priced primers. At least then you'd have something of value.

Good grief,

Next you are going to go after fine investment firearms like the Charter Arms Boomer (ported .44 Bulldog with no sights) or that Mossberg chainsaw shotgun thing you hold like a leaf blower…

[gato naranja]

I used a Rohm/RG .22 off and on back in the late 1960's and while accuracy was abysmal, it functioned okay... though ruggedness was clearly commensurate with the price tag. Among low-buck .22 SA revolvers, I found the H. Schmidt revolvers to be better in general than the equivalent RG's (a friend of mine had a steel-framed Schmidt - it may have been a rarity - that was a decent working gun by any standards). I never cared for the High Standard Double Nine, but some of them were accurate enough. There were a couple of Herter's* imports in the mix, too. For cheap & cheerful plinking wheelguns, I preferred the H&R line, but I was not exactly comparing things scientifically in those days.

(For sheer disappointment and uselessness, the old and oft-advertised "Western Haig" beat them all. Not until I bought an early Walther P22 have I experienced such buyer's remorse... and this includes a Jennings J-22.)

A couple local farm & fleet places keep Heritage .22 revolvers in stock, and apparently they work fine as casual use "barn guns."


*The Herter's catalog, along with the Dixie Gun Works catalogs of the same era, provided more entertainment - and sometimes unintentional humor - than anything offered today.

There’s an RG .22 Short revolver on my wife’s side of the family. As the story was told to me, sometime in the 60’s my FiL was out of town a lot so he bought it for my MiL to keep around as protection when he was gone.

They were both gone by the time it was shown to me but as I looked it over I couldn’t help but wonder just how much he really liked her…

There’s an RG .22 Short revolver on my wife’s side of the family.

In the early-to-mid 1960's the parents of one of my buddies got a small package from some general merchandise place, and there was an RG .22 Short snubby inside. The previous owner of the house had ordered it through the mail, and after being contacted he told them to just keep it. All of us lot were welcome to shoot that thing now and then, though it was considered to be pretty much a waste of ammunition.

One Sunday when there was no .22 Short to be had, one of our merry band of young, clueless know-it-alls suggested that judicious filing of a box of .22 Longs would just allow them to fit in the cylinder. Gotta be more powerful anyway, right? With bobbed Longs, that RG was like Mark Twain's description of "Bemis' Allen pepperbox" in that it would hit about anyplace except where it was aimed at. The misadventures of that RG were legion.

Now that I think about it, had it appeared in those days, we would have thought this Heritage Tactical Cowboy was the cat's a-a-a... um, "pajamas" by comparison.

Sadly the Sparks rig I have for this .45 Convertible will not accommodate the RDO. It is however a very nice holster, and it works quite nicely for my Flattop .45 Blackhawk as well. It makes me grin when I put the rig on. Just one of those rigs.

You couldn't talk them into an optics cut holster, or didn't want to ask? ;) Just yanking your chain a bit, because I'm jealous that you can drop in at Sparks. :cool:

By the way if you are in some states you can’t buy the Heritage because it falls afoul of this according to KY Gun Co.
“Any handgun having a barrel, slide, frame or receiver that has a die casting of zinc alloy or any other non-homogenous metal, which will melt or deform at a temperature of 800 degrees F or less.”

Yep, part of the Saturday Night Special laws. I think the Ruger Wrangler is cast aluminum and meets the SNS standards. I think...

And Lost River you know that's an unfair comparison! Not only is that a damn fine Blackhawk, but just the Burris and mount are probably worth more than the Heritage!:cool:

I actually had the holster a long time before I considered putting an RDO on the Blackhawk. These holsters last pretty much a lifetime, and then your offspring's lifetime, and then.. :)

But I may have to have one built that is cut for an optic, as I really really like shooting the Bhawk with a dot on it. Power and precision, all in a fairly compact, belt portable package.

I'm dating myself, here, but my dad had a Herter's catalog. I wanted a 1911. I thought that I could do odd jobs, amass some cash, order one with a postal money order and have it sent to General Delivery so my folks wouldn't find out about it. (Clearly, I didn't think that through.) I did odd jobs around the neighborhood, about anything somebody would pay me for. I was maybe half-way to my fundraising goal when the '68 GCA was passed and that ended that.

I later bought a Canon FT camera.

I looked at these in Sportsmans yesterday. I think I could get one for a C note with my points and coupons I get. I was thinking one could turn this into a garden gun smooth bore like the Henry rifle Garden Gun Smoothbore .22 | Henry Repeating Arms (henryusa.com) (https://www.henryusa.com/shotgun/garden-gun-smoothbore-22/) to get a denser pattern with shotshells.
