I stocked & sold Heritage Revolvers for 5 years, then one day I chanced upon a guy whose Heritage malfunctioned badly, the 22Lr bullet somehow ruptured the pot-metal barrel directly under the front sight. He returned the gun to Heritage who charged him to install a new barrel on his gun and claimed it was out of warranty, being that it was around 5 years old.I decided that it was due to inferior metalurgy and e-mailed Heritage asking for more details. Due to their shoddy workmanship and poor warranty I decided to no longer carry their line of crummy guns. Thing is almost every other cheap gun manufacturer has a full lifetime warranty so why buy from Heritage? I started carrying EAA's Bounty Hunter as a replacement & it seems very well built.
