Introduced earlier this year, the American-made Barkeep from Georgia-basedHeritage Manufacturing is an inexpensive and convertible single-action rimfire revolver that is a lot of fun to shoot.
An homage to the chopped-down Sheriff’s Model and Storekeeper variants of the Colt Single Action Army, the Barkeep runs a 2.68-inch barrel while keeping a near full-sized grip. The short length deletes the traditional onboard ejection rod but gives the gun a kind of old-school snub-nosed look to it.

TO THE RANGE!
We put about 1,000 rounds through the little Barkeep, stretching across Blazer and CCI bulk pack, Mexican-produced Eley Sport, some ancient plastic boxes of Winchester Super X and CCI Mini Mags, some Aquila specialty rounds, and, once swapping out the cylinder, CCI VNT magnums.
We spent a lot of time loading and unloading the Barkeep on the range, but whenever we weren’t moving brass around, the gun was a lot of fun to fire.
In the end, the Barkeep – which has an MSRP of about $180 – feels good and works well. The closest comparison we can think of in terms of price is Ruger’s new Wrangler series, which is just a few bucks more. However, the Wrangler is bigger – currently just offered with a longer 4.62-inch barrel and a more utilitarian Cerakote finish – and unlike the Barkeep does not have the option of converting to .22 WMR.
A subsidiary of Taurus for the past several years, Heritage manufactured an impressive 187,104 revolvers in 2018, mostly .22s, as detailed by federal regulators. The company recently opened a 200,000-square-foot manufacturing plant in Bainbridge, Georgia, where Taurus is increasingly moving production to the U.S.
