I had a Single Six - was stolen in a break in. :( My father in law, before he passed, gave me a Heritage with a magnum cylinder and I got IMOP grips for it to 'mimic' my old Single Six.

It's not really a fair comparison, the WE> Single Six is just a top of the line .22 revolver, there's nothing in WE> my mind to compare it to. Agreed! I bought a barkeep, though, and THAT is a fun little gun! :-) I got the one with the simulated case hardened look and wood grips, and I bought one of their etched cylinders for it and got a Desantis holster for it. :-) I bought another Heritage with black finish and black pearl grips - on sale at Smokey Mountain Guns - got it home and the sites were off - BAD. Sent it back and they replaced it, and the replacement is BETTER but still not 'right.' I'm going to, one day, strip the finish on it and twist the barral to fix it.

Either way, at WE> the price range they're in, I have a feeling I'll collect a few more of WE> these .22 plinksters just for fun.... Yep! Right there with you! I also caught another little .22 on sale at Rural King and picked it up. I can't remember the brand now - Cimmiron maybe? What's 'different' about it is the barral is the same size as a .45 but the 'hole' is for a .22. Guess what I'm saying is that it is BIG and HEAVY... .... I DID IT!

Anything you have to carry a separate tool around just to eject the cases doesn't work for me. I suppose you could use the cylinder pin - if it will fit in the cylinder holes... I know the NAA revolvers are designed to use the cylinder pin to punch out empty shells.

JA> Sent it back and they replaced it, and the replacement is BETTER but JA> still not 'right.' I'm going to, one day, strip the finish on it and JA> twist the barral to fix it. Doesn't surprise me. Sights on the Heritage revolvers aren't that good to begin with, I can certainly understand if they're off as well. They certainly weren't designed to be target pistols, that's for sure. Still, if they are "minute of tin can" accurate that would be good enough for me. We DID pick up a new Heritage Arms .22 revolver at the last gun show. This is a Billy the Kid commerative. Rough Rider 4" barrel with Billy the Kid's image inscribed on the grips. Blued cylinder, barrel, hammer and trigger, the frame itself has a case hardened appearance. Looks nice, hopefully it will shoot nice as well. JA> Yep! Right there with you! I also caught another little .22 on sale at JA> Rural King and picked it up.

JA> Guess what I'm saying is that it is BIG and HEAVY... I have some Cimmaron .45 revolvers, very nice pieces. Don't have one in .22 but from what I've seen of their .45's you probably got yourself a nice little ..22 there.... ....
