Bought two today

[wpod]

On a whim (after researching) I bought a Heritage Rough Rider 22lr/wmr and a Taurus TX22.
Should be good for plinking and teaching new shooters (daughter in law)

They had great write up not long ago in The American Rifleman on the Heritage.

Well, that makes for a pretty good day.

Excuse me sir I don't believe that Taurus is shown by the great state of California to be on the roster of safe handguns. Therefore it must be unsafe and unfit to train a new shooter. You should be ashamed and dispose of it immediately.

In all seriousness, I'm just jealous. Looks like a ton of fun is in your future!

Outstanding two is always better then one.

I shot a TX22 with and without a suppressor and it was an excellent gun. When I move to a free state I will likely get a TX22 and a suppressor for it.

Got to shoot these two this evening. A mag through the Taurus TX22 and a cylinder each of 22lr & 22wmr through the Heritage Rough Rider.
The first round stovepiped in the TX22. The next 16 rounds performed as designed.
22lr was flawless in the Rough Rider. Swapped cylinders and my first time with 22 magnum. Needed 12 trigger pulls to fire the six rounds.
Brand new (cleaned) guns fired for the first time. Only one hiccup with the semi-auto on the first round. The magnum cylinder in the revolver wasn't the one that came with the gun, but an engraved one from Heritage.
Pressed for time, I usually run a lot more rounds through a firearm on the first outing.
Also shot a 30 round mag through an MSR (5.56). Swapped handguard a while back and had issues with sighting in the BUIS. Corrected the issue (shimmed the barrel) and bore-sighted the irons. This was my first outing after shimming and the bore sight was spot on with 5 shots slow and controlled. Reattached the QR LVPO and it retained an adequate zero. Slow and steady at clay pigeons at 100 yards on 4x, then let loose the last 15 rounds rapid(ish) fire.
Satisfied with the brief performance of these three, even the initial 50% on the 22wmr. Trigger time has been lacking for a while.

Congratulations! Looks like 2 handfuls of fun. When I move to a free state I’ll buy a Ruger Charger, and a suppressor, and ah… you know the thing.

Why not? Get them while you still can.

Two is one, one is none. True for guns, knives and flashlights..

Both good handguns for their price range. I think you'll enjoy them.

I've had 3 Heritage RR 22/22M, first one some years back when they still occasionally did steel frames.

I've got the Birdshead grip, on sale, one now with 3in bbl?, not very accurate, checked sights with laser bore sighter and yes the front doesn't line up with the notch, it's a tweek off. Probably ok with the 22Mag birdshot as a snake gun.

The other one has a longer bbl and the fiber optic front and adjustable fiber optic rear sight, checked it with the laser bore sighter and it was right on at about 25ft out of the box.

I also have the TX22, which I have shot and it was flawless. It has the threaded bbl (I'm in NM) would love to have the Competition slide with the cutout for the reflex sight, started bugging Taurus about it. Customer Service lady at Taurus was very pleasant, informative and said that I had some good suggestions and would send them up the food chain. Yeah don't hold yer breath!

She said they do offer a non threaded replacement bbl but are out of stock. They don't offer the Competition slide only, just the complete kit fer $200ish.

On a whim (after researching) I bought a Heritage Rough Rider 22lr/wmr and a Taurus TX22.

I piked up a heritage rough rider in 22LR new in the box for $75 back in January.
It's a good value at that price but I would not spend anywhere near the $130 I got my Ruger Wrangler for as the Wrangler is a much nicer gun in that price range.
