The Rough Rider Combo from Heritage is a single-action rimfire revolver set up to fire both .22 LR and .22 WMR. It carries a 4.75-inch steel barrel, a nine-round cylinder and fixed open sights with a rear notch, and the aluminum-alloy frame keeps unloaded weight to 33.4 ounces at 10.04 inches overall. The cocobolo wood grip and blue/black finish give it the Old West look, while a hammer block safety covers the hammer when the gun is not being fired; there is no manual safety.

For a New Jersey shooter this is a range and small-game revolver rather than a carry piece. As a handgun it needs its own Permit to Purchase, which you file online through the NJSP Firearms Application and Registration System to your local police department at 21 or older; the permit runs 90 days and renews once automatically. Keep the one-handgun-per-30-days rule in mind if you are also planning another pistol purchase this season.
