Decent article about revolver renaissance, a plinker boom in disguise

.38 Special revolver production fell 53% in five years. Heritage's .22 Rough Rider now drives a fifth of U.S. revolver output. We mapped what the ATF data actually shows about who's buying revolvers — and why.

if some states banish semi-automatics...(hello blue azzholio states)...then revolvers will just have to fit the need. it might not be a bad idea to have at least one in your collection, preferably at the very least a snub nose, for carry.
 
I love .22s of all kinds and have several .22 revolvers. I've always heard good things about the Heritage Rough Rider, but honestly, every time I looked at one, it just appeared to be poorly and cheaply made. I just didn't care for it. Maybe I'm wrong as they do seem to be very popular.
A few months ago I did buy a Ruger Super Wrangler. Another bargain priced SA .22. So far I've been pretty happy with it. Its a good little plinker. Tin can accurate. But don't expect target quality accuracy out of it.

Back in the dim and misty past, Handgun Control Inc. (now the Brady Bunch)was all about getting rid of those dangerous revolvers—the commies won’t be happy until they’ve outlawed ALL ….
 
I had a Heritage 22 for a short while. I was using cheap range ammo and the hotter the cylinder got, the more difficult it was to empty the shells. They would stick more and more. It seemed fairly accurate and reliable. Not sure if my ammo or the cylinder metallurgy was to blame.
 
Hi,

The Ruger is a little more money and I think is a little better made. But I do enjoy my Rough Rider. They are very inexpensive, make a great introductory firearm, just fun and cheap to shoot. It was either PSA or GAG had a sale very recently, the 4.75" model for $99 including the .22 magnum cylinder as well. I wish I'd taken advantage of that "flash sale". I won't hesitate next time. I think a pair of those would be cool. ;)

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

Well back in the day, I used to borrow my grandpa's cheap imported 22lr revolver and shoot the pee out of it.
Today I wouldn't own something so cheap including the Heritage or Wrangler.
Maybe the super wrangler.

Now I do own a S&W and the Colt 22 revolvers.

I spot another S&W Mountain gun in any caliber or an Anaconda in 45 colt, and I'll then have another revolver.
Or something in 327 that I don't already have.
