This Heritage Rough Rider Small-Bore Convertible packs classic single-action styling with modern versatility. Its carbon-steel 4.75-inch barrel and interchangeable cylinders let you shoot economical .22 LR or switch to .22 WMR for added punch, all while maintaining the look and feel of the 1873 Colt pattern.

What’s Included
- Factory fluted carbon-steel .22 WMR conversion cylinder
The convertible design is the Rough Rider’s standout feature. Swap cylinders in seconds to move between inexpensive plinking with .22 LR and harder-hitting .22 WMR rounds without altering point of aim.
Heritage’s hammer-block safety lever and half-cock notch add an extra layer of security not found on most traditional single-action revolvers, allowing safe carry with all six chambers loaded.
The 4.75-inch carbon-steel barrel mirrors the length of the original Colt Single Action Army, balancing neatly in the hand while squeezing maximum velocity from rimfire cartridges.
A durable zinc-alloy frame keeps weight and cost down, and the black-oxide finish blends smoothly with the carbon-steel cylinder for a consistent look. The serial prefix “1BH” confirms production at Heritage’s Bainbridge, Georgia facility beginning in 2021.
Smooth hardwood grips feature a rich cocobolo-style grain, offering a secure, comfortable hold and a touch of traditional flair.
