Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Heritage Rough Rider also shoot .22 Magnum?
Some Heritage Rough Rider models are sold as combo packages that include a second cylinder chambered in .22 WMR (Magnum), allowing you to switch between calibers easily. However, this particular configuration is chambered in .22 LR only. Always verify which cylinder is installed before loading, and never attempt to fire .22 Magnum ammunition through a .22 LR-only cylinder.
Is the Heritage Rough Rider suitable for small-game hunting?
Yes — the Rough Rider's accurate 4.75-inch barrel, crisp single-action trigger, and .22 LR chambering make it a capable choice for hunting small game such as squirrels and rabbits at close to moderate ranges. The 9-round cylinder also gives you plenty of follow-up capacity in the field. For best results, use quality hollow-point .22 LR ammunition rated for hunting applications.
How do you load and unload a single-action revolver like the Rough Rider?
To load the Rough Rider, place the hammer at half-cock to free the cylinder for rotation, open the loading gate on the right side of the frame, and insert rounds one at a time into each chamber. To unload, keep the hammer at half-cock, open the loading gate, and use the ejector rod (located beneath the barrel) to push spent casings out of each chamber one at a time. Always point the muzzle in a safe direction throughout the process.
