Not much impressed with the barkeep.  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.

 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> 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....
