Heritage RR on the way.

. Enjoy!!!the need for the serial number to the factory person, its so that they can pull the number up in thier records and send a cylinder with the correct finish on it. they dont want a customer to order a blued cylinder for a matte stainless one, and vice cersa.
its a fun gun. the only bad thing is cleaning it. and its toooooo easy to shoot fast and hit your target.
dont speed shoot it. LET it COOL down. 120 rounds in a half hour period is to much in my opinion. really put a carbon ring on.
id suggest after every few cylinders wipe the cylinder face down with a rag dipped in #9

Alright I shot the RR yesterday. Fun little plinker no doubt. It functions flawlessly. I ran 200 rounds through it, it got dirty but kept chuggin right along. It groups very well, but shoots 2 inches to the left. How do I go about correcting this? I'm afraid I will snap the front sight off. It looks like it is soldered in there.

Because mine was off a lot more than 2", and it was a sub $200 NIB gun anyway, I took the chance involved in bending my front sight...carefully! Everything worked well. It is right on now, although it doesn't take a long look to see the port list to the front sight.
Cajun, as for the obnoxious safety, I keep it in the safe position because the gun looks stupid with it in the fire position. Then, I forget about the thing because it is completely abnormal on a S/A. Lots of "click..........damns"
until I shoot it for a while.
Funny, I never have a problem forgetting the safety on a gun that should have one on it!

Usually the first shot at the range or out back behind the hog pen. After that I just leave it off, and put it back on when I go home. I'll probably forget it the next time I take it out. Cheapshooter

I'm really starting to like on that little birds head model with the mother of pearl grips. Ya know you guys, and this thread are gonna cost me money If I see one at the LGS.
It's a really good little revolver.
It shoots to point of aim. It came with both LR and Magnum cylinders.
Both my wife and my daughter have tried to put the glom on it because "it's cute." Kinda like Kraig's wife.
I like it a lot. It's a whole lot cheaper than a Shopkeeper and probably just about as fun.

Well, I can't agree with anyone on the RR, not yet.
Mine 3 days old right out of the box, defective. Would not lock up on three chambers, FTF's. Cocking would back the cyl up. Three chambers in a row. Mag cyl functions perfect.
Heritage says ship cyl back and they will ship new one. I'm going to try and get them to ship cyl with return ship label. Why should I have to stand for the shipping on a FTF right out of the box.
Wish me luck.
Glad everyone else's is doin' great. I was so anxious to use this RR SA in the "Cowboy Shoot" my club had last Friday night. Brand new gun wouldn't fire, embarassed me big time.
I now know I should have test fired it at the dealers location.

Sorry to hear that Wild Bill. Definitely not a time to have a new pistol act up. But I bet Heritage will do you right. Their customer service seems to be on the up and up. Let us know how it works out. And if you can post pics of the problem with yours. Maybe that will help others on their unboxing inspection.

Oh and also, upon inspection of the front sight on mine. I can clearly see the front sight is slightly bent to the right. I'll bet if I straighten that sucker back up it'll shoot dead center (its shooting about 2" to the left). What is the best way to bend the blade? I'm thinking put the barrel in the vise and use a pair of vise grips or something that had alot of surface area on the jaws.
.32 H&R RR
I bought a RR in .32 H&R and I haven't fired it yet, but I have noticed a problem with loading and unloading it. As you rotate the cylinder with the loading gate open, it clicks into cylinder lock just barely past the last point where you can feed a round in or push a case out. A slight overshoot as you try to feed the round through the loading channel and you can't back the cylinder up enough to get the round in. So you have to roll it around again until you have it just balanced on the edge of lockup. I plan to solve this by filing a little bit of meat out of the loading channel so that a round will go in while the cylinder is prevented from backing up. It shouldn't take much. The excess meat is on the back and lower side of the channel and the area that would need reduction should be hidden by the loading gate. I'll do this after I have a few rounds through the gun to make sure it doesn't have any other problems.

First firing of the new .32 H&R RR
I just put 12 rounds of .32 S&W short through it. What a pleasant little experience that was. The gun handles well, except for the loading/unloading problem I mentioned. It would almost be easier to load/unload by removing the cylinder each time, but shaving the loading channel is the long term solution. It's the hand/star interaction that keeps the cylinder from backing up far enough, not the cylinder lock as I previously thought.
It shot a little under 2" left at about 18'. I'll be putting both .32 S&W Long and H&R Mag through it before I decide how to correct for that. I'll probably just tap the front sight to the left with a small hammer.

I bought my Heritage 22/22 rr at the end of last summer and I am very happy with the way it shoots so far no problems.
I am partial to the Birdshead revolvers and that is what I got I have more expensive revolvers and the Heritage and performed just as well as the more expensive ones

SAHWEET!!!
You,re killin' me man! LOL
When I get out my little mother of pearl handled bird's head, I always think of Little Bill and English Bob.
"I'll be having that .32, Bob."
I didn't think I would like the grips until I actually held it and shot it.
It's a fun little shooter.
I got the matching set of Rough Riders when Cabela's put them on for $129. Then I ordered the .22 Magnum cylinders for $30 apiece. I think that it is hard to beat a matching set of little "cowboy guns" for $318.
It would take more than that to find a match for either my Single Six or my Virginian. I keep looking, though.
Outlaw, I liked the way you set up that shot with the spurs. Well done. Nice revolver, too.
