Ot my wife wanted a little 22 to take around here and practice with. Won't be used much I know so I saw a heritage arms for a reasonable price and it also comes with a cyl for mags. That I liked and couple hundred bucks wasnt bad price. In Illinois no alloys can be sold so all steel. Never had a heritage any thoughts. Fine looking little gun 3.5 inch barrel

| Mark why did you head it with OT? Guns are a tool for farmers and country people.

| Thanks RN for the explanation, Illinois can be difficult for firearms or maybe I should say Chicago. Bought the little 22 between that and the ruger 10-22 she can plink all she likes and not break the bank. If the concealed carry goes through I"ll look for a smaller framed better quality revolver.

| The Rough Riders actually have a decent reputation, especially among our trapping community. A local gun dealer I knew had one and liked it a lot and he access to lots of other 22's. I'd say if she likes it, go for it. It might surprise you.

| If you seem to like the interchangeble cylinder
for 22 magnum check out the Rugers. I have 2 and I love them.

| My wife and daughter love to shoot the Smith & Wesson 22 cal. model 63 with a 4"barrel and is double action. I have a friend that him and his wife have a heritage 22 and a Ruger bearcat 22. His wife likes the ruger over the heritage. It patterens better than the heritage.

| Illinois lawmakers a few years back didn"t want any pistols in Chicago, but couldn"t legally do it--found a little "safety" measure dodge targeted at Raven and Davis , other pistol using precision zinc alloy casting methods, plastics and said no metal alloys with melting point about 500 degrees - just over casting temperature of zinc alloy used in Ravens and Davis .22,.25, .32 pistols, It wasn"t a "Gun Control" it was a "safety" feature to prevent a "Unsafe" -gun parts melt when fired-gun from being sold in the state. This also hit a couple Rohm Gevarfabrik revovlers with the light alloy frames, still left aluminum framed S&W chiefs specials used by a lot of police officers as their "offduty/backup/bodygaurd the politician" arm. Minor hassle for gunbuyers with moderate income, hassle some for the makers that would use a zinc alloy casting in some non stressed parts like grip frames or some plastics. RN.

| That being said she would never practice enough to be
accurate just something to plink with. I do like the magnum cyl
though.
