Heritage Rough Rider Steel Frame Tungsten Cerakote Handgun.22 LR 6rd Capacity 6.5″ Barrel Polymer Black

Heritage Arms' Rough Rider in Tungsten Cerakote with a 6.5-inch barrel is a single-action .22 LR revolver built for range work, casual plinking, and first-time revolver owners on a budget. TacticCAL carries it as a PC §32100 exempt, ca legal option — no Roster gymnastics required.

The Plinker, New Shooter, and Budget Range Regular

This is the handgun that fills a specific, honest role: affordable trigger time. The 6.5-inch barrel gives newer shooters a longer sight radius to work with — fixed front and notched rear — which makes fundamentals easier to diagnose at the range. Single-action only means the hammer must be manually cocked before each shot, which slows the pace and forces deliberate shooting habits. The Tungsten Cerakote finish and polymer black grips keep the package light and weather-tolerant. Six-round capacity in .22 LR keeps ammunition costs low for volume practice. Buyers pairing this with a Crimson Trace laser grip or a Safariland holster will find the full-size frame accommodates standard accessories without modification.

Frequently asked questions

Is the single-action-only trigger a drawback for a new shooter, or does it actually help?

For most new shooters it helps. Manually cocking the hammer before each shot forces a deliberate pause, which reinforces trigger discipline and sight alignment. It slows the pace in a useful way and makes bad habits easier to catch early.

What can I do during the 10-day waiting period after I submit my DROS?

Pick up .22 LR ammunition for your first session, source a CA-compliant locked transport container for the drive to the range, and look into a lockbox if children are in the home. You can also read the owner's manual and schedule time at a local range.

Does the 6.5-inch barrel make this revolver awkward to store or transport in California?

At 11.78 inches overall length it fits most standard handgun lockboxes without issue. For transport, California law requires it be in a locked container — measure your case before buying. The full-size frame is straightforward to store in a standard handgun safe or lockbox.
