Ot my wife wanted a little 22 to take around here and practice with. Won't be used much I know so I saw a heritage arms for a reasonable price and it also comes with a cyl for mags. That I liked and couple hundred bucks wasnt bad price. In Illinois no alloys can be sold so all steel. Never had a heritage any thoughts. Fine looking little gun 3.5 inch barrel

Probably not too accurate, but its a gun and that rhymes with fun!
Get it and play!

That being said she would never practice enough to be
accurate just something to plink with. I do like the magnum cyl
though.

Is there a reason alloys can't be sold?

My wife and daughter love to shoot the Smith & Wesson 22 cal. model 63 with a 4"barrel and is double action. I have a friend that him and his wife have a heritage 22 and a Ruger bearcat 22. His wife likes the ruger over the heritage. It patterens better than the heritage.

May have something to do with metal detectors, or support of the steel industry!

If you seem to like the interchangeble cylinder
for 22 magnum check out the Rugers. I have 2 and I love them.

Illinois lawmakers a few years back didn"t want any pistols in Chicago, but couldn"t legally do it--found a little "safety" measure dodge targeted at Raven and Davis , other pistol using precision zinc alloy casting methods, plastics and said no metal alloys with melting point about 500 degrees - just over casting temperature of zinc alloy used in Ravens and Davis .22,.25, .32 pistols, It wasn"t a "Gun Control" it was a "safety" feature to prevent a "Unsafe" -gun parts melt when fired-gun from being sold in the state. This also hit a couple Rohm Gevarfabrik revovlers with the light alloy frames, still left aluminum framed S&W chiefs specials used by a lot of police officers as their "offduty/backup/bodygaurd the politician" arm. Minor hassle for gunbuyers with moderate income, hassle some for the makers that would use a zinc alloy casting in some non stressed parts like grip frames or some plastics. RN.

The Rough Riders actually have a decent reputation, especially among our trapping community. A local gun dealer I knew had one and liked it a lot and he access to lots of other 22's. I'd say if she likes it, go for it. It might surprise you.

Thanks RN for the explanation, Illinois can be difficult for firearms or maybe I should say Chicago. Bought the little 22 between that and the ruger 10-22 she can plink all she likes and not break the bank. If the concealed carry goes through I"ll look for a smaller framed better quality revolver.

Mark why did you head it with OT? Guns are a tool for farmers and country people.
