I don't look at this as being bad for a under $200 Revolver. Also this is with the 22LR cylinder. I haven't even tried the 22Mag cylinder. It just came with the RR I bought. Along with a holster, and wooden display box.
I bought one as Christmas gift for my brother, it's a great little gun. He had a Super Single Six when we were kids that was stolen some years back. The funds weren't in the budget for a Ruger, so I bought him the Heritage instead.
It's not a Ruger, for sure, but looking at it in light of it's own merits it's a great gun. Buy it for what it is, not what you want it to be and you'll be happy.
