I am almost 79 years old and recently bought my first revolver. I was going buy several years ago but one of my renters talked be into semi autos. My first revolver, a Heritage Rough Rider with a 4.75" barrel and I love it. The grips came pre-scuffed, so now I wish I would have bought the other one the gun shop had with the wooden grips, I can always re-do wooden grips. I bought my Heritage on sale in Columbus,Ohio and got a GREAT deal on it, so great that I've already ordered the /22WMR cylinder. I am making a switch from all semi autos to all revolvers and my Heritage is just the first. I am also planning on a Taurus 856 to replace my Ruger lc9s and maybe a Taurus 942 after that. The Heritage is replacing my S&W .22 compact. You may ask why am I changing from semi autos to all revlovers, ARTHIRITIS AND GOUT in my hands which made it nearly impossible to load a magazine. I have no trouble loading a revolver. I would LOVE to see Heritage come out with a 38 Special single action revolver that looks just like the .22 Rough Rider. I don't think you would have to go any larger than a 38 Special. Taurus already has plenty of options when it comes to larger calibers clear to the Judge. If Heritage would come out with a 38 Special Rough Rider Taurus already has 38 Special cylinders and barrels, so it would be a very easy thing to do, I know I would want one.

Heritage needs to make a break action revolver like to Schofield revolver

i owned 2 taurus good guns but don't hold their value

Rough Rider and Barkeep owner here. Love them - from the quality, to the customizations, the authenticity, performance, and really important to me, is the friendliness of the platform for new shooters, along with seasoned shooters. Don't mean to sound cornball, but this is really how I feel. I've got grandkids and I like these more than my other guns for their intro to shooting.

The first modification I did to mine was remove that safety. Not needed with a half cock function. The second mod was to fix a nub on the hammer, preventing a solid striking surface and causing impact marks on the receiver. And the third mod was to increase tension on the hammer spring to fix light primer strikes. For $150, I'm not complaining too much, but for a gun that misfired 2/3 shots and a $60 shipping fee, it simply was not worth sending back to the company and the mods were easy enough to do with a dremel, a shim and a screwdriver.

The customization of these guns with interchangeable cylinders, grips, and even bird's head grip frames, is pretty dang cool! Really love my Barkeep. Looking forward to seeing the line expanded with more larger caliber options.

I had no idea they were owned by Taurus. Gives me a bit more confidence actually!

I bought mine on a Monday withrough a 3 day waiting period. Sent the info in for my free 22 magnum cylinder and they got it to me same day I picked up my revolver ! Never had faster service !

I got one several years ago and it's awesome. There's literally tons of handle options too. I was hesitant to get one at first but it was such a good deal that I took a chance and it worked out.

I have the Heritage Rough Rider in "6.5 and "4.75 and they're both amazing. I bought the "6.5 first, fired 3 shots and the cylinder cracked. Heritage had it resolved within the week. I then bought a 22 mag cylinder and a "4.75 and they both run perfectly. I'm so happy with Rough Rider and now I'm even more impressed with Heritage knowing they have Taurus behind the name.

These are some of the best revolver's out there you can put a 1000 rounds through them and they just keep on shooting and there made in the usa

I have 2 with long rifle and magnum cylinders. I've put hundreds of founds through them with No issues at all. No way can you find a better revolver for the price . Love them.

They are a great way to learn 'instinctive' close-in pistol shooting, because they are so cheap to feed. After a couple of thousand rounds you get so good at it you can just about hit targets in your sleep.

Own a Taurus mod 66, blued 6" target 357... Amazingly accurate at 40yds. Also a Rossi mod m971 357, 4"bbl. Circa 1990. And have had many Rough Riders. All great guns.

Keep up the great work and god bless y’all

I have the Heritage revolver 22lr - 22mag, also have the TAURUS JUDGE 45lc/410 revolver, and the Rossi single shot 22lr rifle/ 410 combo . Love shooting all three firearms, all three are well made, and very easy to shoot, very accurate . Will be buying more firearms from all three brands very satisfied with the quality.

@@witorsouza9399 yea, they aren't great, but for the price, they can't be beat. My revolver has 2000 rounds through it, and the only major issue is the cylinder spring broke. Parts are cheap. And easy to get from their website. The accuracy is alright, it's no tack driver, but it does group well, just need to use some hold over if you want to be real precise. It's more of a plinking gun. Good luck. Have fun.

I have a heritage that is 4+ years old and has well over 6,000 rounds of LR as well as 1,500 rounds of magnum through it and it is as tight and shoots as good as it was brand new.

I had to do some "precision machining" on mine pretty much right out of the box. The frame was milled so poorly it had a sharp edge around the center the long way. It had massive hang-up problems, couldn't cock it without considerable force, especially after warming it up a bit. But after the adjustment I can truthfully say I love it, runs fine, really fun to shoot.

Rough Riders are great revolvers, but, the plastic on the ejector rod needs to be replaced with metal.

great video love the heritage

It’s a very low cost gun. But still a good quality gun. I have two of them myself. And the Ruger wrangler.

I love my heritage! It’s a fun little gun to shoot and you can customize it any way you’d like.

Great video. Informative with visual backing.

Yeah, I just tried calling their numbers. Recordings for all of them. That was during regular hours. I just wanted to tell them that they have a 6 shot magnum cylinder pictured with their 9 shot revolver. Lol Details, baby! That's what sets a manufacturer apart from the competition.

Firearm manufactures should spread throu out the country like new mexico, Colorado, Montana, Idaho, Nevada places like that would be great and could make delivery of product fast for the ffl deals

I love my heritage 22 it shoots accurate I like the safety it's a great gun.. I own a Colt 1870 3:00 a.m. I own a Kimber Grand raptor 2.. And I'm telling you this little gun is a great gun for the money.. The trigger on my heritage is a great trigger I was amazed and surprised how good of a gun this little gun is and how much I enjoy it... I'll probably buy a couple more of them with different barrel lengths

Awesome TY for sharing

The thing about these silly little guns is they are like a Doritos. Next thing you know you have a couple of them

Love em!

I wish they still made the steel frame guns rough riders. I guess those were discontinued. I had one with and alloy frame from around 2000 and it was a great gun. Unfortunately I lent it out to my younger daughter and she 'lost' it supposedly.

Great guns.

I would like to see them made in larger calibers, especially 357 mag, 45 ACP and 44 mag.

Gotta love these dependable, affordable, customizable American made guns. ❤️ 👍

Great little gun. And a fun little gun to shoot also.

The fact that they use Milwaukee tools to make these really does it for me 👏

If it keeps misfiring modify the hammer by taking a small file and on the 3rd or last spur on the hammer file that down like a meter or so then take a small round file file a small but noticeable curve on that 3rd or last bottom spur and that should take care of the misfire issue this mod will allow the trigger to get a better grip and will also increase accuracy but also completely stop the misfire and will also give you a heavier trigger pull. Try it I did it to mine and I don't have no issues at all with it

I think you are doing a wonderful job. I,personally, have a G2C, in 9mm, and a Heritage Bar Keep on the way. My only regret is that the TX22 is not available in my area or none around my, and if you do happen to see one, they are asking prices that only wealthy folks can afford.

Awesome

I enjoy my Heritage Rough Rider , , it's fun to shoot , wish I could find more 22 WMR rounds . And I'm considering getting a new EDC gun and thinking about getting either a G2C or G3C I have shot the G2C and it's sweet and it's a good price

I own a Rossi lever action rifle in .357/.38. Excellent rifle and if I do my part, accurate rifle. Now I want a Rossi .22 lever action rifle. I own two Heritage revolvers in 3 1/2 and 6 1/2 inch barrels.

Heritage needs to fix the lose screws in their heritage rough riders including the Rancher.

I have one of the first heritage rough riders before Taurus bought them, bought it like 15 years ago at least

My dream…all steel, full size (1873 size), no safety Rough Rider at Wrangler price point. You would sell all you could make!

I like how they say nothing needed to be changed on the gun. The shell extractor is cheap plastic and could be cnced out of aluminum. The locking bar is mighty cheap and could be made as a full bar instead of two tabs of 1/8 in steal. If we had this solid bar design it would open up race gun mods, which they could make and market themselves

I knew Taurus owned Rossi but I didn’t know they owned Heritage too. Little 9 shot revolver capable of running .22mag with a cylinder swap is arguably a formidable little handgun too.

Put 100 through my new RR bought 24hr ago. Slick video, here is some real world data: 1. Cylinder constantly locks, either lr or wmr. It seems the slight deformation of a spent round will catch in the cynlinder frame. Also some misfires with no strike mark at all- can be reloaded and fired. Cylinders spin new rounds fine but fired casings cant spin through the frame. I mean its called a 'revolver', should any of this really be a problem? 2. Also the ejector assembly fell off the gun mid session, kind of sad , hilarious (found the screw in my casings). 3. Lots of blow back of metal shards or something, makes me nervous using it. Any solutions? Was thinking of a new 9mm you make with optics but this makes me wonder what you are doing over there.

Got to buy another one now , my wife decided she liked it so much she claimed it

Can't beat the price, especially when some are on sale at Bass Pro Shops. As low as $ 79 at times!

All the new guns your coming up with are great, but when will they start showing up on the shelf. Been looking for a 942-22mag for over a year

I have it. I like it 👌

I love these revolvers !! I got the rancher the 16" revolver ,6.5" 4.75"and the bar keep. And i love the safety on them ! My bar keep needs looked at it miss fires alot and something else. Does anyone else have this trouble ?

My 20+ year old rough rider did. Almost like I tweaked the frame. Tried a new factory firing pin and shimming the cylinder. Ended up making a firing pin slightly longer than oem. Must be short enough for cylinder to clear though.

The Heritages are good shooters for the price range Lots of fun to shoot. The manual safety isn't a real big deal. But, I would like to see them replace it with a transfer bar, similar to Ruger's. Even the little RIA .38 revolvers have the transfer bar.

@jerroldshelton9367

9 ай бұрын

If I wanted a transfer bar, I'd buy a Ruger. instead. I'd rather have the hammer-block safety of the Rough Rider, because it doesn't nanny me or f*** up trigger pull full-time like a transfer bar does. I like the Rough Rider for its Colt-likeness. You can't have that and a transfer bar at the same time, as Ruger has proved.

I want a nice heavy bulky handgun, it proves that it is solid and durable and Also absorbs recoil

Love my RR 22mag. It's even my EDC. Tough no nonsense platform. I treat mine like crap and it's never complained or failed. Always shot true. Btw if your sights are off, don't bend them. Your barrel just isn't seated all the way.

Very best revolver? I don't know about that, but for the price it is a great little plinker! I love mine but from the fit and finish to the materials used you can tell why it's a quarter of the price of the competition.

Own 2...a 6 shot and a 9 shot...only gripe i have is the 9 shot doesnt line up with the ejector rod when indexed around...you have to turn it just a little more after it clicks...im thinking its the hand spring...if it was a little flatter,it would give more cylinder play and line up then.however ive seen some on you tube videos that did line up...but most dont....can you tell me why?..thanks.

I love the Heritage Company i just wish they could spread out and make a few more rifles and maybe a few different types of pistols

Taurus has really been setting the bar the last few years. 👍🏻🇺🇸

I'd be careful buying a new one. According to their Facebook page, people have been getting a bunch of lemons here lately and having trouble with customer service. I bought a used one last year. Had to replace the cylinder hand spring on it after shooting around 1000 rounds. Not sure how many were put through it before I bought it. Pretty fun gun. However, if I was going to buy a new .22 SA revolver, I would probably go with the Ruger Wrangler.

@tzackaria7

2 жыл бұрын

deciding between the two I went with the Wrangler. Not sure that was a good choice. Accuracy with the Wrangler is terrible. Tight groups with a Single Six but all over the paper with the Wrangler. Trigger pull is hard and tight, and when the trigger breaks it moves the gun off target. Not to be fixed as the spring is used for the trigger and the firing pin. Soften the trigger and you soften the firing pin which could lead to the primers not igniting

How are the barrels on the heritage attached to the to the frame? Threaded, pressed and pined?

I just bought one last month and the fit and finish suck. I had to sand the rough finish left on the grips and the blueing on the frame is scratched right down to the silver metal underneath almost like it's painted on.

I have been looking for a 942 for over a year. Are you still making them?

Good little revolver. Very accurate up to 30 yards for new shooters. Experienced shooters can get decent accuracy beyond that. It fires reliably. Only complaint I have is the bluing wears off the body fast and the aluminum body is very susceptible to scratching and marking. Otherwise, great piece.

I have asked this question for years but never received an answer. How is the slot to hold hand which turns the cylinder by the action of the hammer cut? The frame prevents a milling machine getting in from the top so the only access appears to be from the bottom. The slot is curved at the top to push the hand against the cylinder ratchet. Does anyone know?

Heritage, / Taurus, please make some 22wmr 9 shot cylinders please.

I've been a happy Taurus customer for over thirty years. I have a G2c 8 shot semi auto that helps me protect my life and home everyday. Great concealed carry firearm.

This is a slow and deliberate gun. I shouldn't have to try 3 times to get the hammer to work. Calling Heritage on Jun 21st, 2021 and get an RMA to send it back.
