They are really decent little shooters for the money. Not as nice as the Wrangler but pretty sweet. I like my little birdhead 3.5 inch model the best. It’s my snake gun and pretty much only sees rat shot. I’ve never tried the mag cylinder.

thanks the only reason I would want the Mag cylinder is I have a couple hundred rounds of ammo and nothing to shoot it with

Looks like a shorter Rough Rider. I have a 4.75" RR. Shoots great and I have the magnum cylinder.

I thought Heritage guns has aluminum alloy frames, like the Ruger. Ruger says their frames can't take .22 Mag forces, so how do Heritage guns do it? Are some Heritage rimfire revolvers made with steel frames?

Only the lower part of the frame is aluminum. I have read that it is a good idea to blue locktite all the screws.

What are they going for now?
Academy had them for 129 or 139 at first. Now I see some at 189.99.
