Heritage Mfg RR22B4PG Rough Rider 22 LR 6 Shot, 4.75″ Black Steel Barrel, Black Cerakote Zinc Alloy Frame, Black Cerakote Cylinder, Black Polymer Grip, Hammer/Thumb Safety, Exposed Hammer

Single-action rimfire revolvers occupy a specific niche — and Heritage Arms has owned that niche for years. The Rough Rider RR22B4PG is a .22 LR six-shooter with a 4.75" barrel and an all-black-on-black finish that's as no-nonsense as the price tag. TacticCAL stocks it for exactly the buyers it was made for.

The Backyard Shooter's Workhorse — and the New Shooter's Starting Point

This Rough Rider finds a home in two kinds of Bay Area setups. First: the casual shooter who wants something low-cost and high-fun for steel pinging, tin cans, and the occasional pest control problem. Second: the first-time handgun buyer who wants to learn trigger discipline, sight picture, and the manual of arms on a platform that doesn't punish beginners — or their wallets — for every mistake. The single-action mechanism slows things down in a useful way; you're deliberate about every round. The black Cerakote cylinder and zinc alloy frame keep the profile clean and the weight reasonable. It's PC §32100 exempt as a single-action revolver, so it moves through the CA purchase process without Roster complications. Pair it with a Hoppes cleaning kit and a brick of .22 LR, and you've got a complete afternoon. See our California PC §32100 single-action revolver exemption — qualifying configurations.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Rough Rider RR22B4PG suitable as a first handgun for someone who's never fired a revolver before?

Single-action operation is one of the most intuitive ways to learn fundamentals — cock, aim, fire, repeat. The fixed sights and deliberate manual of arms make it forgiving for new shooters. It's a reasonable starting point before moving to more complex platforms.

What grip does this specific RR22B4PG come with, and can it be swapped?

This SKU ships with black polymer grips. Single-action rimfire revolvers in this profile typically accept aftermarket grip panels — Hogue and Pachmayr both make options worth looking at if you want a different feel in hand.

I just completed my DROS — what's a practical use of the next 10 days before I can pick this up?

Source .22 LR ammunition, find a local range that allows rimfire revolvers, and pick up a CA-compliant locked transport container for the drive home. If you don't already have a secure storage solution at home, now's the time to sort that out too.
