I have had one for many years and has been flawless. For what I use it for and where it goes it has been a great pistol. I have shot a many rounds through it and is with me daily.

I got one. Cheap both in price and quality. If you like one or the other it's the gun for you. The most inaccurate gun I have ever shot. Waste of money unless your planning on treating it like the piece of junk it is. Nothing worse than a gun that wont hit were its aimed at. Unless I shot high velocity ammo the bullet is actually tumbling at 20 yds (and I didn't think that was possible until I got this gun). I know a lot of people will disagree with me but I wish someone would of share this information with me before I bought the gun. So here's my opinion take it for what its worth to you. Totally agree. I can't hit anything from 10 yards, a waste of money.

I have the 7 inch barrel with Tru glow adjustable sites. I have had it a few years, take it trapping and like to hunt rabbits with it. 30 yard sitting rabbits are common with CCI standard velocity. High velocity rounds shoot high but I leave sights set for the ammo I like to hunt with. The High powered rounds do have a loud crack. I have bought both grandsons a Heritage like mine and they are getting good shots with them. They sell oversize grips for like $25.00 that fit bigger hands well.

My same experience as this^^^ Been thru 2 trapping seasons with mine....couple hundred critters dead with it. Its accurate ....from just outside the catch circle.

Heavy, cumbersome, not prone to accuracy at any appreciable range...
But I have drug mine many a trapline mile in rain, snow, mud, blood, brush, etc... and it has always gone BANG at the moment of truth... At least when I remember to release the hammer block safety. Lol
It's a satisfactory dispatch gun.

I have a friend who has one. Poorly made, ugly, innacurate, unsafe, unreliable, waste of money at any price.
Life is too short to use crappy guns! Save money a bit longer, buy a good gun, and take care of it. Enjoy using a good gun.
I bought a brand new Ruger Single Six with the mag cylinder for $200 - 37 years ago. About 4 years ago, I bought a like new used Ruger Single Six with the mag cylinder for $300.
Life is not a dress rehearsal, live life to the fullest!

I chose a Chiappa with a 22 LR 22 WMR cylinders. It is in the price range of the Heritage and I am satisfied with it. It is not a Smith and Wesson of yesteryear, but it places bullets into trapped animals as it should killing them. For the comments on here about wearing ear protection as if a Heritage is louder than other revolvers is ridiculous as are the comments about these cheap handguns being inaccurate. 99% of the shooters do not fire the thousands of rounds necessary to become proficient in shooting, so stating that a cheap handgun is inaccurate is not the guns fault. I will never be an Olympic shot and cheap or expensive, my cheap Chiappa as a Single Six delights me as it has wonderful balance, heft and fires when I (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) the hammer or pull the trigger with it's lined barrel and cheap price. Pllay with one in the store and if you like it, buy it. As for screws coming loose in a grip, try some locktite. I never had a problem on my Chiappa with scews. The gun clerk was high on the semi auto Chiappa out of the farm store. When the bullet is going through paper sideways at 10 yds I don't think it has anything to do with the proficiency of the shooter.

In order for a revolver to shoot accurately,several parts must line up precisely and that rarely happens with a cheap one.There is a lot of hand fitting to make these things come together and you don't get this in a cheaply made gun that is just assembled from bins full of parts and minimal hand fitting.
Now ,I'm a revolver fan for trapline guns but you can,on average,get more accuracy from a cheaper semi-auto,depending on the design.This is partially due to the chamber being cut into the bore,not into a seperate part (cylinder) which could be misaligned with the rear of the barrel (forcing cone),leading to poor accuracy.
I also have to say that though .22 lr/.22 mag convertible revolvers don't do much for me,personally.The bore on these guns is optimized for the .22 mag and I know I will mostly shoot .22 lrs.For this reason,I like a dedicated .22 lr revolver-and,an accurate one.

Paid $115 for mine. Love it. Has taken a lot of trapped critters. Sure got my moneys worth for the past 20ish years.

I have a browning buckmark you can get em for around 200-250. And its alot better gun than the heritage and not even close to ear deafening ring of the heritage. I carry mine everywhere and whatever you point it at is as good as dead. Snake heads at 30 yards are no problem. Exactly.Nice choice.

I am unfamiliar with modern single actions, I don't own any. Can you still fan the trigger with one or does the safety get in the way?

Where do you find Buckmarks for $200/250? That’s a heck of a deal! You shoot that pistol better than I can with my rifle.
