Crazy Gun Barney, SASS #2428 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 This place seems a bit too serious today... So how about looking at some cheap grips on a cheap gun. I got this heritage rough rider many years ago when I had carpal surgery. I didn't think jumping straight from surgery to 45 Colt or 44 Mag would be correct. Didn't have money for a Single six, so I got this with both cylinders (22LR and 22Mag) for about $100. Always thought the laminated wood grips were ugly. Saw some imitation ivory grips (read that as white plastic) for less than $20 on Amazon last week and figured "why not". Well, they are just a little less ugly than the original grips. They feel ok (not great, but neither did the original grips). Works for me, this is just a "fun gun" anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 If a gun could be coyote ugly, that might win. But I have... (Time for some self censorship!) Still looks like it’d go bang and push the bullet forward. Sounds like fun to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Sun Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 At least when you run out of bullets, you won't feel bad throwing at the bad guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That always cracks me up when I am watching a movie and somebody throws the empty gun at the same target they just failed to hit with a full magazine of ammo. Even better in superhero shows. How many times in the George Reeves Superman TV show did the bad guy empty his snubnose 38 into Superman's chest watching the sparking ricochets as they bounce off, and then throw the empty snubnose like that would do it.

Sixgun Sheridan Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Especially funny when they throw the gun and you can see they still have a couple of mags left in their pouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Brules Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 The little .22 isn’t bad at all. I’d say, hang on to it. Cat Brules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always wondered why Superman would stand there letting the bad guy shoot at him, BUT duck when he threw the gun? Guns must be more dangerous? Careful, you could put someones eye out!!!

LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 We sell a ton of Heritage Rough Riders where I work part time, and they get rave reviews from returning customers.

Crazy Gun Barney, SASS #2428 Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 It may not be as pretty as a stainless single six with cocobolo grips, but it goes bang when I ask it to! debating getting another one to have a matched pair. For some reason, I have a compulsion to have sixguns in pairs... I got two hands afterall... I like it, no matter how ugly it is. I find Glocks to be ugly too, doesn't mean I dont enjoy shooting them (dont tell my 1911 that I said that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J. Mark Flint #31954 LIFE Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I have a Heritage .22 myself (Sort of can't remember if it came with a mangelem cylinder or not.) It is not presentable, but it is functional and there is no worry about it being damaged! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Gun Barney, SASS #2428 Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 It sure is handy when paired with some Aguila Colibri rounds when there is a gopher working in the yard. It is actually quieter than my pellet gun, and easier to slip in a pocket if a nosey neighbor looks over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.

All loaded with the 200gr Corbons using the Flying Ashtrays. I normally don't do the +P thing but the gun likes them. The back up that's on me is a SOG Penatagon II instead of my normal CRKT M21-04 because, sometimes, you just need a big @$$ knife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
