Heritage Rough Rider 250th TALO 22 LR 4.75" 6rd Revolver

Heritage put this Rough Rider together for the country's 250th, and the grips are where the theme lives. Wood panels carrying USA 250th artwork replace the plain grips on the standard gun. Underneath, it is the same Rough Rider that has introduced more people to single action shooting than any other revolver on the market. Blued finish, fixed sights, 4.75" barrel, six rounds of 22 LR.

The manual of arms is the one Colt settled on in 1873 and nobody has improved since. Cock the hammer for every shot, six chambers, then stop and reload. It is slow and deliberate, and that is precisely why a Rough Rider teaches a trigger better than anything with a magazine. The 4.75" barrel is the classic length, short enough to handle easily and long enough to shoot well off a rest. This is a TALO distributor exclusive run, so the configuration is limited rather than a catalog staple, which is worth knowing if you collect commemoratives. It still functions as a plinker, though. Feed it 22 LR and shoot it all afternoon, then put it back on the shelf as a 250th anniversary gun that actually gets used.
