Anyone regret buying a Heritage Rough Rider?

Another option is the Colt Peacemaker with both cylinders. If you can find one, opt for the 6" barrel.

I have one from 1972. It's a nice plinker and is accurate. I do prefer my Single Six with the 6-1/2" barrel and adjustable sights, however.

No regrets. Had to look at the time stamp on imgur to see how long ago I bought it , 7 years. Definitely get the dual cylinder option though. 22WMR is a fun comparison to 22LR. Not an heirloom or target pistol but fun example of an old single action revolver.

No regrets, but I sold mine a while back. Not a fan of single action revolvers.

After watching a video of the manufacturing process(owned by Taurus) I don't regret not owning one.

I did buy a 17 back when that was the only option.

Couldn't see the bullet holes so passed it along.

I have two. I bought one because it was a good deal, then I bought the second because it was a great deal. Now I have a 4.75" 22 LR revolver with a spare cylinder, and a 6.5" 22 WMR revolver with a spare cylinder, for the price of a Wrangler.
If both of them crumble to dust, I really won't care much.

What didnt you like?
The crowning before rifling?

You can't expect to get an all steel new revolver for $100 in this day and age.
Colt and Ruger don't seem to have any problem with aluminum frames on their 22 revolvers.

I like that very classic and cool representation, neat handgun.

I've shot them before, and as an informal plinker they are tough to beat. I keep hoping Ruger offers a .22 WMR Wrangler, but that new birds head "shopkeeper" Wrangler might get me to buy a .22 SAA.

Nothing instills trust in a machine shop like a spokesperson with a hand injury.

I bought one for introducing new shooters to the world of firearms.
After safety instruction we shoot a 22lr revolver and semi-auto. Then 22lr rifle, bolt and semi-auto. Move up in caliber from there as comfort level increases.

I bought the single cylinder for 100 bucks then got the mag cylinder for Christmas. Buy the duel cylinder.

It's a fun little plinker.

Thank you for the replies!

Yup. I tried to spruce it up with custom grips. Lipstick on a pig. Don't buy one.
