Dirty Dog Doug Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I bought one long ago just to have second 22 pistol . first is single six I bought in 70s ok for the price but cocking it feels crunchy and the safety is ugly now I have the 12 shot Uberti 1873 very smooth but heavy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oak creek martin Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 The heritage Roughrider‘s are a good revolver. For what you pay for them you get all of your money back. I don’t think they will last as long as a Ruger wrangler or single six. The big difference is there is no aftermarket parts available to make them run smoother or faster. The Ruger single six and the new wrangler are interchangeable with ruger vaquero parts. Spring kits, transfer bars , hammers are all interchangeable. If you’re looking for an expensive revolver try the heritage, if you’re looking for something to shoot in cowboy action that you would want to increase the smoothness and speed of by the wrangler!

High Spade Mikey Wilson Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 I have a pair for a couple of years now that I just shot again this past Sunday along with my Henry .22. I have nothing bad to say about them. They have always worked well for me with no issues. I don't like the safety, but I can live with it. My opinion is they sell at a great price and I can buy a pair of the Heritage for the price of one Wrangler. If I was shooting .22's in cowboy every week I would probably buy a pair of Single Sixes, but I only shoot .22 maybe 2-3 times a year in cowboy.

The Rainmaker, SASS #11631 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Started my daughter out on a pair. Did the action jobs myself; no parts replacement, just lightened and smoothed. Worked great from 10 yrs - 13 when she became a JR. Sold em to a pard. If the Wranglers were around then, I'd a bought em. You'll have to check your wallet and decide. Nothing wrong with them, I'd just prefer the Rugers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
