![]() Be sure to keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction the whole time and remember your rules of firearm safety. You may try and angle the gun back, to help the casings fall free. ![]() Do this for all chambers until the firearm is empty. Each notch, rotate the cylinder, press the ejector, and eject a casing. To unload, place the hammer back at the half-cock notch and open the loading gate. Close the loading gate and you’re ready to place the hammer in the full-cock position and fire. Insert six cartridges, one at a time, as you rotate the cylinder. To load, place the hammer at the half-cock notch and open the loading gate. This is a great firearm to practice and build your shooting fundamentals. My second order for a Heritage Rough Rider and I lost the pass through nut ( totally my fault). Fire six, eject, reload, fire again… there’s something meditative about it. This revolver will save you money on all fronts. Moving to a six-shot single-action revolver really forces you to slow down and take your time on each shot. It has a 6 inch barrel and came with long rifle and magnum cylinders. This is the Heritage Rough Rider in the full-cock position. I purchased a Heritage Rough Rider about 3 years ago and absolutely love it. I have no complaints on the fit or finish of the revolver. The pin that retains the cylinder locks in nicely, and the gun locks up well on each chamber. You can hear some squeaking as the spring compresses, but at the price point, I’m not concerned. The loading gate opens and closes easily and the ejector rod operates smoothly. It may even be a welcome sight for newer shooters or those young shooters. Although it looks unsightly, it works as intended and does not interfere when plinking at the range.

Yeah, sure, but I'm sure the same people who hate safety would then just bash the blue finish. I don't have an issue with the safety, some people hate it, but to keep the price as low as possible, Heritage couldn't put in the transfer bar safety. ![]() Would a Ruger be better? Yup, but how much are you willing to spend for the subjective concept of "better?" Your kin's experience may vary with the sights. It shoots high and to the left, so I have to do a 4:30 hold with it. The only issue I have with it is the fixed sights are off. The trigger is nice, the gun feels good in the hand, it groups well. 22's and for the caliber and size, I like it. It's built on the same size frame as the. Oh well, I like guns and always like to reveal my Truth. Heritage Manufacturing, Inc., producers of the classic-style Rough Rider series single-action revolvers, is excited to announce the release of the company’s new Western Series handguns.
