Heritage Manufacturing, based in Bainbridge, Georgia, made its name with the Rough Rider — an affordable single-action rimfire revolver that has introduced countless shooters to the fun of a classic Western-style six-gun. Chambered in .22 LR (often with an interchangeable .22 WMR cylinder), the Rough Rider is one of the best-selling rimfire revolvers in America precisely because it pairs traditional styling with an accessible price.
The lineup has grown beyond it. The Rough Rider now comes in a wide range of barrel lengths and finishes, the Settler and lever-action Rancher and Model 92 extend the Western theme into rifles, and the Badlander side-by-side and Range Side bring affordable break-action shotguns. The Roscoe, a snub-nosed .38 Special revolver, marks Heritage's move into more traditional defensive wheelguns.
Part of the same family of brands as Taurus and Rossi, Heritage Manufacturing remains a go-to for affordable plinking and Western-style fun.
