You can purchase the Roughrider in a variety of finishes, sites and grip styles. These combos that come with one cylinder in 22 lr. and
one in 22 wmr. run an average price between $150.00 to $225.00 and are without a doubt the best quality cowboy styled single action revolvers available on the market today. I can assure that anyone who purchases one of these little combo's will be more than happy.
I recently ordered one of Colt's famous SSA's in for a good friend and customer of mine. The cost was much more than I would be willing to pay, being over $1,000.00 but we are talking about a Colt after all. And with Colt comes the price. Ufortunately with price does not necessarily come quality. If "everything else is just a copy", please give me the copy! Very plain bluing job that was named "royal blue", plastic grips and a very poorly stamped serial number made me rethink if Colt is indeed the leading standard for single action revolvers. If you are considering purchasing a single action that you actually plan on shooting and don't want to have to worry about the price depreciating. I would strongly recommend that you try a Heritage, a Ruger or a Smith & Wesson first.
Now I have to admit that I have never been much of a wheel gun man. I like the look and the feel of an auto much better. But I never expected to hold a revolver that felt so comfortable as the S&W 627. This is a product of Smith's Custom Shop and as usual, they have outdone themselves. This eight shot 357 is not only a great looking gun, but also a great feeling pistol that I have yet to feel it's equal. Great Job S&W. Keep up the good work!
