    New this year from Heritage is their Rough Rider Tactical Cowboy.  With a 6.5″ threaded barrel, frame mounted Picatinny rail, and grey patterned grip, this six shooter is set up to accept the muzzle device of your choice.  The rail has a channel through it for use of the fiber optic front sight, should one wish to not use a red dot or scope.  Depending on ammo, suppressed shooting without ear pro may be a rough ride. A silencer probably won’t work as well on the Tactical Cowboy because of the cylinder gap. MSRP is low as per usual for the Rough Rider series, at $212.88.

    Per Heritage Manufacturing:

    For making tin cans dance in the backyard, pinging steel, or controlling pests and varmints around the farm, nothing beats the low-cost, high-adrenaline thrill of a single-action rimfire revolver. The Heritage™ Rough Rider® handguns are built with numerous grip options and feature the same classic profile and precision.
    Chambered in 22 LR, is also compatible with the 22WMR cylinder allowing you to shoot either 22 LR or 22 WMR ammo. The new Heritage Rough Rider Tactical Cowboy features modern day technology into an old clasic world. The barrel is threaded for accessories like compensators and supressors. The picatinny rail allows the user to add different optics if desired, but also works as a rear open sight to be used with the bright front fiber optic sight.

    What do you wheelgunners think?  Does the Tactical Cowboy warrant some consideration?  What would you rather attach to it, a compensator or a silencer, red dot or scope?
