Yes they will drop in the same as Ruger. I've owned and sold 30+ OM & NM Rugers and the cylinders have all mixed, timed and matched perfectly with no fitting required. Just recently bought a SS NM mag cylinder for my OM 9 1/2"er and it shoots great. Colt is the one that doesn't always match.

 

Thank you for the quick reply. I called and ordered a magnum cylinder for my Rough Rider and hope it works well. I've had several Ruger Single Sixes over the years but this is my first Heritage. So far I like it very much. Shoots to point of aim and handles well. Probably the best $119.00 I've spent in decades. tom. :bthumb:

 

I just bought a .22LR Rough Rider. It came with a mail-in coupon for the 22 mag cylinder ($29.95) which I plan to order. Swapping cylinders is easy. On the Heritage website, go to this video (http://heritagemfg.com/videos.cfm) and you'll see how it's done beginning at about 1 minute, 20 seconds.

 

Thanks for the reply. I also used the coupon. I had to call them to find out how much S&H cost. Total came to $38.70. tom.

There's always the professional pessimistic shooters who detest the flip off safety or that the cylinder holes rarely match up to the ejector rod. I'll concede that the RR's cylinder does ratchet harder than my Colts or Rugers, but doesn't take long to master the thumb roll to quickly dump the empties.
Word of warning tho, don't expect the same month delivery of spares like Ruger will deliver in just days. It's worth the long weight at that price. My NOS stainless Ruger mag NM cylinder cost me $95, so the $38 Heritage total is still a good deal. Just have to be patient (really really patient).

 

Yes, I know. The Pakistani sounding gentleman said if I used a charge card it would be quite quick, but as I selected a postal mo it will take 6~8 weeks. I will wait. I've had it for 11 months and only took it out once for 60 rounds. I had a pistol that I owned 4 months before I fired it. I also had a rifle that didn't have the carry strap in the pouch and didn't find out for a long time. Caught some BS on here over that. tom.

 

I bought the Mag cylinder. I received it quickly as I ordered it online. Fits the gun perfectly and functions well. I have no issues at all.

 

I hope I'm a lucky as you were. tom. :bthumb:

Some interesting chatter on this Heritage site.

A fellow "slinger" on there has been waiting two months for his mag cylinder CC purchase and it hadn't been processed yet. I tried three days to get them to answer my call to order checkered grip panels. Went with a yellowed epoxy pair off ebay instead which was here in three days not months.

 

Thanks. I hope this was an extreme example of bad shipping. I think the post office lost my M.O. sent for a holster else where. I'd hate to think I got burned twice in a week. tom. :sad:

Got 2 Rough Riders

one 6 shot, one 9 shot, both with both cylinders. Both guns shoot very well with no issues. Magnums are fun to shoot, albeit more expensive, but have a basketball sized fireball out of the muzzle. Oh Boy!!!!!

I got NO problems with these revolvers, excellent value for the money.

oh my god "ITS A TAURUS" and every one likes it.

problem is, last I checked the 22 magnum needed the 22 magnum barrel on the gun, and only the combo model came with the 22 magnum barrel.

 

nope

never heard this before, and its in none of the Heritage brochures. I think a cheap revolver designed to shoot both .22 and .22 magnum would have enough "slop" in the bore to allow both ammos.

Now, both of my RRs were combos when I bought them, but I don't think there is any difference in barrels....other than length.

 

Heritage seems to be getting the Taurus transition worked out. I spent several (5 or 6) phone attempts this past Nov to order checkered grip panels. Never got past the elevator music. Still didn't taint the enjoyment of my two RR's.

 

Mine just swaps cylinders. Takes about two minutes and I go from target practice with the LR cylinder to Pest removal with the magnum cylinder. That's all it takes.

 

Got the magnum cylinder a month and a half later and it shoots like a dream. tom. :bthumb:

 

my mag cylinder took 7 weeks to arrive

 

It think 7 or 8 weeks is about the time I waited too. Cheap gun, both cylinders work fine, have lots of fun with it and if it gets dropped on a rock and breaks nothing really lost and parts won't be difficult to get. Both cylinders shoot just like both cylinders shoot on my Ruger single 6.

 

Yup they drop in and work fine! I compared them with 22 LR and can’t see any difference but they said there is

 

I have purchased 5 rough riders and ordered 2 engraved cylinders and 3 sets of grips. It required ordered the last gun I wanted. Everything ordered arrived within a week. Now I have 5 great grand children with SA revolvers. Actually it's their parents that own them because you have to be 18 years old to own a handgun in this state but they can legally shoot them if accompanied by an adult. I will most likely order 2 more engraved cylinders so all the girls will have engraved cylinders.

I shot 4 of the 5 guns before giving them away. If they had sights like the single sixes I believe I would have found them about as accurate. They were pretty close even with the grooved top strap sight of the SSA style.
