I never noticed that under lug thing until I looked at this thread again. It barely protects the ejector rod end. Remove it or extend it back. It looks ridiculous. Probably a decent, usable gun for the money, though.

They'll probably be able to get the barrel clocked right.

Every time that I contemplate a Heritage, I realize that I would rather have that $150 used to buy part of something that I really want. I wprefer the Ruger Wrangler or Single Six before the Heritage offerings.
I can still do without the massive, garish logo. I do have one of the older 85s, a recent acquisition, and am very happy with it.
Funny, there are folks out there that say the same things about S&Ws, especially from the last 20 years or so. I don't listen to them, either.
These are starting to make their way out, and a few videos on YouTube have popped up. This one seems to give a pretty good look at the gun. The finish is pretty nicely done, and it seems like the gap between the end of the ejector rod and the Model 10-esque part in the frame isn't actually all that noticeable on the actual gun compared to the photo renders. I'm a big fan of the fancy border on the cardboard box.

ROSCOE, great name.
Always like seeing new products come to market but this isn't one I "have to have."

It would be way cooler if it had a half moon front sight.
Being that the basis of this gun is the Taurus 85, it definitely more closely resembles stuff from the 70s and 80s. I'd love to see a more classic looking version for sure. Half moon front sight, exposed ejector rod, tapered barrel, the whole Detective Special/M&P works!
Looks nice but they should either add a front lock or take that ugly little nubbin off the barrel
For what it's worth, there is a front lockup point. It's at the top of the crane/yoke.
I wish that more revolvers would emulate that little nub from the Model 10 personally - I've always liked the look. It does look a little odd since it doesn't lock up there on this gun, but going off of that video there isn't much space between the nub and end of the rod so it doesn't look too bad.

I don't find the lug objectionable
I guess it's to keep from depressing the ejector rod while holstering and dumping your ammo.

Is this for real? My first thought was that those wooden grips wouldn't work for my old beat up hands. I was wondering about aftermarket grips. If it does come with an extra set of rubbers, I just might try one for S&G.
My Taurus 327 came with two sets of grips. A set of Hogue grips, and a smaller "boot grip" (as they called it). I just left the Hogue on and the other one is still in the box. The Hogues are great with the recoil of the 327 Fed Magnum. It will fool you if you think "It's just a 32."
I might be interested in one of these Heritage's. I had a Taurus 85 many years ago. Good gun. I keep saying I'm finished with 38 J-frames, but if I found one for a low price I might get it just for "grins and giggles" as someone said. Now a 6 shot, 32 Fed Magnum, with that finish. That would get my attention.

Hidden in the small box are these extra set of grips and screw. May try it for fun, but the wood laminates are nice looking and functional too.
