Heritage Roscoe Revolvers

Heritage Manufacturing is introducing the Roscoe, the first centerfire double action revolvers in the Heritage firearms line. These new wheelguns are designed to evoke the spirit of the small frame fighting revolvers carried by the iconic gunfighters of the 1930s, 40s and 50s. The Roscoe takes the aesthetics of a classic defensive double-action revolver and adds in modern design and manufacturing, creating a firearm that reflects and iconic moment in American gun culture.

The classic design and rugged performance of the Heritage Roscoe pays homage to these legendary hard-boiled detectives battling mob crime, the movie sleuths and the real-world police officers of a bygone era. The Roscoe features a deep, glossy, polished-black finish with wood grips that invoke the classic firearms of a bygone era, while retaining the utility and performance of a five-shot, +P rated .38 Spl. revolver.

Heritage Roscoe Features:

  • Five-round capacity of .38 Spl. +P
  • Classic-style wood grips
  • Available in 2-inch or 3-inch barrel lengths
  • Frames made from carbon steel
  • Cylinders made from alloy steel
  • Barrel, frame and cylinder have a polished-black finish
  • Transfer bar safety

Whether you're re-enacting your favorite noir films or defending yourself in the modern world, the Heritage Roscoe stands as a testament to American grit and ingenuity. With its timeless design and reliable performance, it's more than just a revolver—it's a piece of history you can hold in your hands.
