I'd reccomend a Ruger Wrangler with birds head grip. I have one and its fun.......Heritages do nothing forr me. They look and feel cheap.
I have a wrangler also, and to me it's about the same as the Heritage.
Don't really like the finish, it reminds me of the barrel finish on Henry's BBS series. Cheap.
Don't care much for it but I'm used to it by now, but will not own another of either.
This past weekend I shot the Heritage and Wrangler side by side and "I" shot the Heritage much better.
If I was lookin for another inexpensive 22 revolver I would choose the Heritage over the Ruger.

Shooting is what it’s really all about. My Rossi’s are not much to look at especially the furniture but they shoot quite well.

Very nice Heritage collection Randy! They are fun little guns to shoot and customize. Mine seems to shoot the plain 22 LR more accurate than the 22 Mag but the Mag cylinder has the cool looking cards engraved on it that make my Blackjack configuration look the part. Maybe I will try another brand of 22 Mag ammo other than the CCI.

You've got a couple choices of .22mag, but with that short barrel it's probably not going to make a big difference. Hornady has a good selection and there's also Federal, Winchester, Fiocchi, and Browning in that caliber to name a few.

There are some 22 mag self defense ammo loads designed for use in a short barrel, but I can't see that they would be any more accurate and they are more expensive. My one 22 mag rifle loves the various varmint tip 22 mag loads, though.

My CZ loves the varmint tip 22 mags too. The 17 HMR is still more accurate though.

Yeah, hard to beat the 17 HMR. Even had one in a Contender pistol that was awesome.
