![]() Lastly, the trigger guard is very small, or the trigger is positioned a bit too far forward due to the transfer bar. If I was carrying one of these in the Old West, I would definitely be carrying a second or third one because if you cannot clear the fired cases, you won’t be able to load fresh ones. ![]() No, it was not me, it was this particular revolver. I had gotten good at doing this years ago and still shoot my single actions on a semi-regular basis (every 5 or 6 weeks instead of twice a week) so it had me questioning my ability. My main gripe with the Rough Rider had to do with the cylinder rotating a bit too loosely while trying to unload the revolver. Heritage Rough Rider Big Bore in 357 Magnum grip frame Just realize that this is not an heirloom quality Colt, but an Italian-made clone and you are not paying those kind of prices for a Rough Rider. ![]() But then I was also taught to always carry the hammer of a revolver on an empty chamber - some habits never die regardless of cross bar safeties, etc.On close inspection, I felt that the fitting could have been better with regard to the revolver’s frame and the grip frame. A lot of the new designs evidently allow for it but I still cringe when I see someone do it. If regards to "dry firing" - I'm of the age that when I was young and first learning how to shoot 22s (50 + years ago) I was always taught that you never dry fire a 22. I'm just curios to hear the experiences fo those who have purchased another cylinder after the initial pistol purchase and any problems that they may have had. I love mine and enjoy shooting it - it is always in the bottom of my range bag so it doesn't get "left behind". Has anyone out there actually had experience with having a LR model and then buying a Mag cylinder for it? Any problems with it? Any "timing" issues?ĭon't get me wrong - I'm not knocking the Heritage RR in any way, snape or form. These are just my thoughts though and I may be "all wet". are identical from one revolver to the next, there shouldn't be a problem - one of the plusses of intercchangeable parts and mass production. In theory, if the cylinders are machined to spec and the hands, bolts, etc. Personally, I have a hard time thinking that for the price of the RR and the quality (as compared to Ruger, Colt, S & W, etc.) that a "combo" model is each individually checked and if necessary, hand fitted so that the two cylinders are "timed" identically. The major problem would be in the pistol itself - in the hand and the bolt and if they are advancing the cylinder and it is locking up with the chambers aligned with the bore. My thoughts are that if cylinders are run on the same line - machined alike to the same specs- they ought to work. I have to wonder if it is a "legal" COYA thing or if there could be a problem. Now you fellows have me wondering if that is a good idea or not. I'm also planning on getting one of the Birdshead 3 1/2" combo so figured rather than getting a separate Mag cylinder - I could utilize the one from that in both revolvers. I was also thinking about getting a Mag cylinder. I've shot revolvers for years and I do know that "timing" is everything - nothing worse than a chamber that doesn't line up with the bore. I have a RR - 4 3/4" with just the 22LR cylinder.
