Heritage has a long-established reputation for hewing to the spirit of Old West revolvers through the company’s expansive line of Rough Rider single-action handguns and their recently introduced Rancher Carbine-a fun and functional spin on the single-action platform. Heritage Manufacturing’s all-new Barkeep single-action revolver with scroll wood grips and simulated case-hardened frame. Chief among them is Heritage Manufacturing of Bainbridge, Georgia. While few among us have the scratch to purchase an original Colt Single Action Army revolver, we can certainly afford the several variants currently offered by a small handful of manufacturers dedicated to keeping this iconic 19th century handgun kicking up dust in the 21st century. These “guns that won the West” are not only steeped in American history and crafted with the elegant lines and contours of firearms made in that bygone era, their exquisite balance and surprising ergonomics have prompted many a modern handgun fan to turn with a grin and say, “I gotta have one!” If you’ve never pulled the trigger on an SSA-style revolver or are used only to wrapping your hands around a squarish pistol grip, you’re missing out. Sometimes, though, it is refreshing to take a step back and engage with the handguns that got us here-specifically, those classically-styled firearms patterned after the Colt 1873 Single Action Army revolvers. Whether polymer-frame striker-fired pistols or the rough-and-tumble 1911-pattern hammer-fired brutes, semi-autos carry the day in nearly all corners. Modern handgun aficionados understandably gravitate towards the high-speed, high-volume semi-autos for most personal defense and competitive shooting needs. The new Heritage Barkeep revives the short-barrel SAA legacy in a feisty.
