Mighty JoeHeritage Arms 22 LR / 22 WMR
I picked up a new little revolver last weekend which is kind of a clone to the Ruger Single Six, except for a few differences. It is a Rough Rider model RR22MS6AS. They say it has a transfer bar, but they recommend only loading 5 rounds for carry, and it has a form of a safety built into the rear frame on the opposite side of the loading gate. Satin Stainless finish. Appears to be very well made with tight tolerances. 4 solid clicks on cocking. Very reasonable price. Made in USA out of Florida.
Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet, but has a nice sight set up with a Williams red fiber optic front sight with a Millet white outline square rear notch adjustable sight. Feels good in the hand and the sight picture is one of the best I have seen in a revolver.
Heritage ArmsAnyone know anything about this manufacturer or this gun?

jeffeossoi've shot this one, in blue, a bit. brother in law and his best buddy bought a pair...like 4 years ago.. i hope yours is much better
both keyholed like mad on 22 ammo, worked okay with 22wmr ..
the quality looked good, but in this case, the barrels were setup for mag, not lr ..
shot mags pretty well, but not what they wanted.. both went back after about 2 boxes of mags and 5 of LR .. came back, shot "okay" ,,,
our targets of opprotunity are empty 22 boxes at about 25 yards.. these did stand a chance compared to ruger mkII, even my old mkI taper barrel did as well or better
