Here’s a detailed look at its history and development: ?? Origins and Development Introduced in the early 1990s, the Heritage Rough Rider was developed by Heritage Manufacturing, Inc., a company founded in 1992 and based in Florida. The goal was to produce a reliable, affordable single-action revolver with styling reminiscent of the iconic Colt Single Action Army (\"Peacemaker\") revolver. It was designed for recreational shooting, plinking, small game hunting, and as a training gun due to the low cost and mild recoil of .22 caliber ammunition. ?? Design and Features Action: Single-action revolver, meaning the hammer must be manually cocked before each shot. Caliber: Typically ships with a .22LR cylinder and often includes an interchangeable .22WMR (Winchester Magnum Rimfire) cylinder, offering versatility. Barrel lengths: Commonly available in 4.75\", 6.5\", and 9\" barrels. Materials: Features a Zamak (zinc alloy) frame with steel barrel and components. Premium models may have aluminum or steel frames. Safety: Unlike traditional Old West revolvers, it includes a manual thumb safety, which is a modern feature aimed at enhancing safety for newer shooters. ?? Popularity and Cultural Impact Gained popularity due to its low price, often retailing under $200, making it accessible for new shooters or collectors. Widely regarded as a good training tool before stepping up to larger calibers. While not considered a collector-grade firearm, it has a loyal following among recreational shooters. Frequently used in cowboy action shooting practice, especially for youth and beginners. ?? Acquisition by Taurus In 2012, Taurus International acquired Heritage Manufacturing, bringing more attention and distribution resources to the Rough Rider line. Taurus kept the production in the U.S. and expanded marketing and distribution efforts. ?? Variants and Special Editions Heritage has released many limited-edition grips, finishes, and commemorative models, including faux pearl, cocobolo, and engraved designs. Some models have birdshead grips or other unique configurations to appeal to collectors and style-conscious shooters. Manufacturer: HERITAGE MFG.
