He said a potential customer should have very high expectations for the level of quality control. I got a response two days later from their director of Engineering about their quality standards. I contacted Heritage Manufacturing and asked them “what level of quality control should someone expect from a pistol at this price point?”. The diameter of the cartridge holes is all well within a thousandth of an inch of each other. I am actually surprised at the consistency. I went and measured the cartridge holes in the cylinder for both my 22 LR and the 22 Magnum Rough Rider. Uneven velocities will cause your bullets to react differently and strike different spots on your target Uneven pressures mean the velocity will have a variance. Uneven diameters of holes on the cylinder mean uneven pressures. More expansion means less pressure, while a tighter hole in the cylinder means it will give higher pressure. The dimensions of the chamber dictate how far the brass can expand. When you have a revolver, the cylinder also plays a role in the accuracy of a revolver. Although a cheaper manufacturing process, they have maintained an acceptable degree of precision in their hammers and triggers. That’s a big part of how they keep the price down.
The Rough Rider hammer and trigger are made of MIM steel (Mold Injected Metal). It’s easy to manipulate the trigger without moving the pistol during the trigger pull. Heritage makes a very nice, clean, and crisp trigger. The classic design of a single-action revolver lends itself to a good trigger, and they didn’t disappoint. The keys point to an accurate pistol are the barrel and the trigger. What Are the Quality Standards on the Rough Rider? But if the real-world shooting results mean anything, poor accuracy is not an issue with this one. It’d be nice to see what they would do when strapped to a vise and fired with no discernable movement. The rough rider pistols are factory tested for function, but not for accuracy. The rounded crown is cut deeply along the muzzle and is finished nicely. The steel barrels are torqued into the aluminum frames and are pretty concentric with the cylinder and frame. It doesn’t seem to be a problem and may cause the bullets to fit tighter and properly gas-seal with a wider variety of bullets. The grooves seem to be a bit shallow compared to the other 22 rifles that I own. The twist rate is 1:14, which is perfect for stabilizing a 40-grain bullet in a pistol barrel. The rifling is cut using a button broach for a classic button rifling. After that, they are rifled, crowned, and blued. They are cut down, drilled, and threaded on the breech end. Heritage Manufacturing manufactures their own barrels out of solid steel rods. It’s no surprise that a big component of fine accuracy is quality in the construction of the barrel. It seems to me that despite it being the lowest priced pistol on the gun store shelves it’s a fine shooting and fun pistol. I have yet to find someone who wasn’t satisfied with the accuracy of their Rough Rider. It’s a good design, and the slightly smaller size is fitting for a 22. The internals are pretty much straight-up copied from the old colt revolvers. Basically, it’s a 7/8 size colt with a cheaper finish and a side safety to make it more kid-friendly. Check out the videos on YouTube sometime. So, how good do the experts shoot with the heritage Rough Rider? I’ve watched numerous experts shoot the rough rider as good as any colt. The best way to test out the accuracy of a gun is to give it to the best shooter and watch the results. That’s not super, but it’s not too bad either. Normally, I can hit a 9-inch paper plate off-hand with most shots at 25 yards. My best day at the range with it was shooting clay pigeons at 50 yards. I will say that the most accurate pistol I’ve ever fired is my Heritage Rough Rider in 22 LR. I’m a pistol marksman by no means, but I’m working on it.

I’ve never been a crack shot with a pistol. What Kind of Accuracy Can I Expect with a Rough Rider? I contacted other rough rider owners, as well as Heritage Manufacturing, to get more hands in information about the accuracy in shooting, and the precision of the manufacturing. Heritage puts a high degree of craftsmanship into their pistols Experienced single-action revolver marksman can generally shoot 4-inch clay pigeons at 50 yards with a high degree of success. The Heritage Rough Rider is a very accurate pistol.
