Certainly it is always recommended to control the hammer when lowering it manually, but in the case of the Rough Rider the hammer is blocked from striking the firing pin when the safety is on. Like any old-time single-action revolver, the trigger must be used to lower the hammer. This means pulling the hammer back to half cock to load, then pulling it all the way back and releasing it for hammer-down position on a loaded chamber. While the Rough Rider operates like an old west revolver, the shooter also develops semi-auto habits, such as “safety on.” With the safety in the up or “on” position, the hammer of the Rough Rider can be safely manipulated for loading.
In this gun the shooter learns a little about history and a lot about safety. The safety worked well, and we thought it was a great idea.Ĭombined with a low price, the Heritage design offers a lot for the first-time shooter.
HERITAGE ROUGH RIDER 22 BASE PIN MANUAL
This was our first experience with a Heritage product, which was unusual because it was a single-action revolver that came with a manual safety. In our January 2001 issue, we tested a very similar Rough Rider with a 4.5-inch barrel chambered for. It produces rimfire revolvers exclusively. Heritage Manufacturing is a small company located in Opa Locka, Florida. Each gun closely resembled familiar Cowboy guns, but each had its own twist on this familiar design. 17 HMR single actions, the Heritage Rough Rider and Sturm, Ruger’s New Model Single Six. We wondered at the time if single-action revolvers themselves also suffered these problems. This problem occurred mainly during double-action fire, but also when we pulled the hammer back manually preparing for single-action shots. This is when rounds in the cylinder fail to stay seated after recoil, and their backward push interferes with rotation by rubbing against the breechface or blast shield. Each of the guns suffered from cylinder drag, due to what we believe was case setback. 17 HMR cartridge, and we found the guns to be very accurate. Last month we spent time shooting double-action revolvers chambered for the hot new.
