HERITAGE 22/22M 6.5″ 9RD COCOBOL AS

Nine-shot dual-cylinder versatility in a full-size single-action revolver — the Heritage Rough Rider in 22 LR / 22 WMR with a 6.5-inch barrel and cocobolo grips is a range-day staple and a surprisingly practical first revolver. TacticCAL carries it as a CA-legal option under the PC §32100 single-action revolver exemption.

Nine Rounds, Two Cylinders, One Clear Role

The Rough Rider earns its place in a Bay Area shooter's rotation as the low-cost-per-round workhorse. Swap to the 22 WMR cylinder when you want a bit more authority on a trail outing; stay on 22 LR for an afternoon of relaxed target work without burning through your centerfire budget. The adjustable sights let you actually dial in a zero rather than just accepting point-of-impact drift. The cocobolo grips give it a look that punches above the price point. Hammer/thumb safety, single-action-only trigger — there's no ambiguity in the manual of arms. Crimson Trace or a simple Holosun dot won't mount here (optic ready: no), so iron sights and fundamentals are the whole game, which for a lot of shooters is exactly the point.

Frequently asked questions

Can I actually use both cylinders interchangeably, or is one just a bonus?

Both are fully functional. The revolver ships configured for 22 LR and 22 WMR with separate cylinders — nine rounds each. Swapping takes seconds once you're familiar with the process. Most owners keep one loaded for range plinking and one for field or trail carry.

Is the 6.5-inch barrel going to be awkward to holster for trail use?

At 11.78 inches overall length it's a longer package. A dedicated single-action holster from Galco or Safariland sized for this barrel length is the right call — a generic holster won't fit well. Plan that purchase during your 10-day wait so it arrives around the same time as your pickup.

What should I do during the 10-day wait after DROS is submitted?

Source 22 LR and 22 WMR ammunition for your first range session, pick up a CA-compliant locked transport container, and line up a holster. If you're newer to single-action revolvers, reading the owner's manual ahead of pickup will make the safe handling demonstration at pickup feel routine.

How long is the California firearm waiting period?

California requires a 10-day waiting period from when DROS is submitted until you can take possession of the firearm.
