I was noticeably low on my first cylinder full of ammunition and then I remembered that these revolvers have a tall front sight, like the original ones. The Rough Rider shot smoothly, with an average group of 3″ at 15 yards with three ammunition types, but they were a bit low at first.Īnother minus is that the Rough Rider does not shoot to point of aim with regard to elevation. It would be hard to fire this one while wearing gloves. Lastly, the trigger guard is very small, or the trigger is positioned a bit too far forward due to the transfer bar.
