I had a Uberti SA in 22LR/22Mag; bought it for $350 and it gave yeoman service until I sold it for a Colt Frontier Scout. If I wanted a combo 22cal revo, I'd go right back to that Uberti.
Perhaps more important: because the Ruger's loading gate actually unlocks the cylinder it's pretty stiff to open and close. I'm guessing this wears in over time (the one I used had only maybe 100 rounds through it), but I like being able to just tap the gate closed with my index finger after I finish loading.
Has anybody else observed this? I haven't handled a single six but I do have four Blackhawk's, only one that requires more than a light tap is my nearly 30 year old .32 H&R/.32-20 convertible. Two are <100 round count, the convertible is unknown.
Yet I still like the Heritage better.
It's the hammer location, the old-school feel (sights, half-cock, loading gate, simple blued finish, no extra ornaments).
If your willing to deal with the (admittedly goofy) safety, it blocks the hammer, so IMO you can load six. If you want to try to ignore the safety and go traditional kaboy, it's load one, skip one, load four.Question on the HRR: Is it a "load five" action?
