Heritage rough rider review12/4/2023 Sorry to get your hopes up, but nowadays, you can’t call something tactical unless it has at least a few modern features. Yes, the muzzle is threaded, and no, it is not effective to mount a sound suppressor or silencer on a revolver, especially this one, regardless of the ammunition fired - subsonic, short - it didn’t matter. Now astute observers will quickly recognize what appears to be a threaded barrel on this particular revolver, in addition to a somewhat out-of-place appearing Picatinny rail. Like most single-action revolvers, the hammer must be half-cocked for the cylinder to rotate to be loaded/unloaded. A channel milled into the center of the rail serves as a makeshift rear sight. One of the Rough Rider Tactical Cowboy’s most significant attributes proved to be its factory-equipped Picatinny optic rail, which allowed us to mount a TruGlo Tru-Tec red-dot for a much more precise aiming point than the typical iron’s these revolvers are equipped with. 22WMR cylinder is also available for those with the ammo supply or desiring a little extra oomph. 22LR has been bought cheap and stacked deep in the years since. Most of us learned the hard lessons 2008 taught us, and. Given the cost and availability of ammunition at the time of this writing, we are all taking it easy when it comes to depleting our supply. A red dot sight capable six-gun? I’d like to try it, and for the retail price of $219, I had to. 22LR, it quickly rekindled my thoughts outlined above, turning those thoughts into reality. When I came across Heritage Manufacturing’s all-new Rough Rider Black Tactical Cowboy revolver chambered in. As we’ve all seen in western flicks and accounts of the Wild West, the classic six-gun is more effective pointed rather than aimed, and this is due, in part, to the crude sighting systems of that day. While many may scream sacrilege at the mere notion of mounting a modern red-dot sight on a classic six-gun, the ability to do so exponentially increases the accuracy potential in the hands of novice and pistolero alike - especially when it comes to sheer accuracy and action shooting. Revolvers, in general, do not make good suppressor hosts, as the report from each shot will sneak out past the gap between the cylinder and the barrel’s forcing cone regardless the Heritage is no different. Sorry folks, the suppressor is just for show. The Rough Rider Tactical Cowboy is fitted with a 6.5-inch barrel wearing a modern, bright-red fiber-optic sight, full-length ejector rod, and given 1/2×28 muzzle threads to mount the muzzle device of your choice. The answer for me was simple, better sights, or more specifically - a red dot sight. You know, to combat horse rustlers, gangs of countryside bandits, and to make a firm statement that I am not to be trifled with, or else you get the lead hose.įurther, more realistic(ish) daydreaming led to me pondering if a gunslinging cowboy could visit the future, what modifications would he make or bring back with him to enhance his current-era pistol. A crew-served belt-fed machinegun with an unlimited supply of belted ammunition, complete with night vision and thermal accouterments, would, of course, be on my list. I’ve often wondered what types of firearms I would bring with me if I could go back to the late 1800s, Wild West-era.
