![]() There’s like $100 difference between my sixes and my Blackhawks. Single-Sixes are really nice but also awfully expensive. For that $350, it’s got a case hardened frame, beautiful real bluing and target sights. The standard SAA version is a little cheaper and runs about $300. I can’t attest to the longevity of it but that little Uberti I picked up the other day was about $350. I’ll likely never buy either one again, but there are other options. With that gun, there’s nothing that can be done. The Wrangler I bought the wife needed a lot of work out of the box to be usable. The other had an irritating hammer/cylinder lockup issue like my Wrangler did. My neighbor bought a pair of heritage 6.5” she brought over to shoot. It's a nice looking revolver, but I don't trust it to take out & shoot. I paid extra for this model Heritage since it is simulated case hardened with green laminate grips. So Ruger beats Heritage on the customer service end too. They sent one out N/C, it arrived in 2-3 days. It's definitely a design flaw.įor comparison my Ruger Wrangler did break the ejector rod handle. I would have expected a replacement N/C being a repeat customer with the exact same problem, 2nd time, 2nd gun. They don't, and they wanted to charge me $16 for a replacement. I called Heritage today & asked if they made better replacement springs since this is a regular problem. There's only screws, no pins to drive out. I've gotten really good at replacing the cylinder hand spring. Other forums are loaded with Heritage Rough Riders breaking the same cylinder hand spring after very little use (a few hundred rounds). My drive is an hour each way, so I always take 2 guns. I'm glad I took the Marlin because the Heritage broke the cylinder hand spring (happened twice before on other Heritage). I had some extra time this past weekend & took this Heritage Rough Rider out plus a. I've had 2 Heritage Rough riders, traded in one on another gun. I've always thought the Ruger Wrangler is better built, but the Heritage had the advantage of convertible. This is after a few years of ownership, not just 1st time out comparison. 22 lr SA revolvers, & Ruger is the clear winner. ![]()
