Torpedoman, I owned one of these revolvers a few years back. And yes they cost alot less than the Ruger. The one I had came with I beleive with the 9 inch barrel. It also had both the 22lr and 22mag cylinders. For what it's worth, my revolver was very accurate and alot of fun to shoot. Another good point about the revolver was it came with adjustable sights. I used my revolver for target, plinking and some small game hunting, and it done very well. For the money they cost, they are worth it. On the other side, if you can afford the Ruger, they are better guns, but if you have a budget the Heritage will work for you. Good luck with your choice...Ray
