Heritage Manufacturing proves that if you do one thing well enough, you can make a fortune doing it. Heritage makes the Rough Rider Revolver and has for decades. They\u2019ve taken that same gun and spun it into a wide variety of models and platforms with numerous barrel lengths. On the long side, we have the Heritage Manufacturing Ranch Rifle<\/a>, and on the short side, we have the Barkeep. With its teeny tiny 2-inch barrel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oddly enough, I have both, and both make me dang near giggle with every bang. The Barkeep is very much a standard Rough Rider in all ways but the barrel length. You still get a big SAA type frame, full-sized grips, and the same little thin front sight we see on all the Heritage Manufacturing revolvers. What\u2019s missing is the ejection rod. The barrel is too short to accommodate one. We\u2019ll talk a bit later on how to eject shells and reload the thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Barkeep – A Little History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Rough Rider was built to basically clone the SAA, a Colt design. The Barkeep was inspired by the Storekeeper model of the Colt SAA. To be clear, the Storekeeper was never an official Colt model but a nickname given to a series of shortened Colts by Colt collectors. These could be the SAA model, Lightning models, etc. However, if they featured an abnormally short barrel, they were referred to as Storekeeper models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
It would be much better looking without the chapter of writing on it. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Barkeep is an extension of these old Storekeeper models. However, it\u2019s a mere 22LR or 22 Magnum, depending on which cylinder you toss in. It seems like Heritage makes a 3-inch model and a 2-inch model, but if you are going short, you might as well go super short, am I right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, that\u2019s the route I went with the Barkeep. This tiny little fella tickles me and amuses me greatly, as did its bigger brother, the Rancher carbine. 22 Magnum cylinders are available, but 22 LR is so much cheaper, and it this short-barreled beast, I\u2019d rather keep it light and fun. However, if you purchase the 22 LR and want a 22 Magnum cylinder, you can swap it out with ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
Short, sweet, and light. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Barkeep A Big Little Blaster<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While the barrel might be short, this sixgun is quite large. The grips are massive and full-sized, so you have a nice purchase on the gun. The 2-inch barrel is actually 2.68 inches when you include the entire barrel. The 2-inch measure comes from what essentially sticks out beyond the frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The total overall length is 7.95 inches. For reference, the overall length of a Glock 19 is 7.36 inches. It\u2019s not a small gun and weighs 26 ounces total. As you\u2019d assume, it holds six rounds of .22 LR. The Heritage Rough Rider series and, by extension the Barkeep, come with a manual safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
I’m not a fan of the safety, but since kids handle these so often I get it. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m torn on it. For young shooters, I get the idea, but the sight of it looks unnatural on the old SAA frame. I can excuse it. However, I wish two models would be made to allow the user to pick. The fixed sights are a trench and blade, and the grips vary. Mine has the \u2018grey\u2019 pearl, but you can get any number of grip combinations. The finish is a black oxide, which works fine, but dear lord does Heritage write paragraphs worth of text on these things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
It’s goofy looking but in a cute way. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Model designations, where it was manufactured, and this giant READ MANUAL BEFORE USING and KEEP EMPTY CHAMBER UNDER HAMMER billboards really detract from the gun\u2019s natural good looks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the Range<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t expect this to ever be a bull\u2019s eye gun. At 10 yards, I can make a two-inch group or so, but every round hit far left. With some Kentucky windage, I migrated the rounds into the target fine enough, but I wouldn\u2019t call it a sharpshooter. The original intention of the short revolvers was close-range defensive use, so I guess the Barkeep keeps up with that task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
The Barkeep is a real Smokewagon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On larger targets, this isn\u2019t a big issue. If I need to ding a gong at 20 yards, I can. The Barkeep pings away with enough accuracy to keep things straight on a six-inch gong. I love how much smoke the little gun makes with almost every shot. I guess that short barrel lets this thing be a real smoke wagon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
It’s a pleasant shooter, but not the most accurate one. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Recoil? Yeah right. This gun barely moves between shots, even with the short barrel. It\u2019s only a 22 LR in a 26-ounce gun. The Barkeep doesn\u2019t buck or fight by any means. Even for kiddos, the little Barkeep proved easy to handle. They could easily reach the controls and safety and confidently pull the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
Even the kids loved it. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Any apprehension they had of firing the Barkeep disappeared after the first cylinder. I felt like I couldn\u2019t keep it loaded around my three buckaroos. They loved it, and now I have Christmas ideas. I loved it too. It was a blast to shoot and just a ton of fun in general. Little 22 LRs almost universally are a blast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the .22 LR<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Oh man, I love shooting the Heritage Manufacturing<\/a> Barkeep. Especially since it seemed to hit every round of 22 LR hard enough to ignite. I used a little Federal, some good CCI for accuracy testing, and Remington Gold Bullet without a single issue. Every round fired and ejected without concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ejecting the empty cases from the Barkeep without an ejection rod is easy. Included with the gun is a wood-handled tool with a metal rod that ejects the little shells easily enough. You can also remove the cylinder to empty them. Heck, I could also just use my fingernail and pry the casing out easy enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
Like most Heritage Arms guns the grip options are almost endless<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Barkeep might not pinpoint accurate, but it\u2019s still fun to shoot and accurate enough to turn a Coke can into a cheese grater. From a what\u2019s the point perspective, I\u2019d argue it\u2019s just a fun gun. Although if you want a short and light gun for dealing with snakes, the Barkeep could do it. Like every other Heritage Manufacturing product, the Barkeep is a fun, reliable, and ultimately affordable firearm. With an MSRP of $208 dollars, it\u2019s cheap, fun, and it works well. It might not be practical, but it\u2019s dang sure a ton of fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
