Both cylinders?
Seriously doubt it, at that price it will be just the .22 lr cylinder. You can order the .22 mag cylinder from their website for $29.99 though. The last one I ordered a few weeks ago, they didn't even charge shipping. They don't have to be fitted to your revolver specifically, I've ordered two and both fit and worked just fine out of the box.

If the Heritage didn't have that ugly lever/button on the left side of the frame I would own several of these myself.
That is the main reason I prefer the Ruger Wrangler.
Atwoods also has a Chiappa single action 6 shot 22lr at the same price range as the Heritage that I would probably buy before I would buy the Heritage because of that ugly growth on the the frame.

Yeah, I agree, I don't care for the safety on it. The main reason I bought one in the first place was my cousin had a similar .22/.22 mag revolver when we were younger, so it was kind of a nostalgia purchase. I may have to check out that Chiappa.

I wonder if you can just take that stoopid safety thing on the frame off? I agree, it sorta ruins the look of the thing. I may have to look in to doing this.

Still wish I could find a 22 mag cylinder for my father's old Hawes.

Or at least maybe mill it down more flush with the frame so it is not so noticeable.

For over 100 years, single action revolver pistols didn't have a safety lever,
I don't understand why Heritage needs to put one on theirs when nobody else does.

Lawyers? Cheap gun; cheap lawyers probably.

$29 is a deal breaker for me. Can't believe those profit whores want that much for a simple accessory. :angry3:

^^^^ actually that is just a joke. I didn't think an extra cylinder would be that reasonable. I like shooting the .22 WMR just because it's got some umph in the hand. Ammo prices for .22 WMR down to real reasonable prices.:clap3:

I saw a plug on ebay that replaces the safety if you "lose" it for $23.

There wasn't a lot of info for obvious reasons I guess, but there appears to be a solution to the problem.
