The design is synonymous with westward expansion, and no Western movie would be complete without at least one. Lever actions became the stereotypical American deer rifle in the 20<span class=\"s1\"><sup>th<\/sup><\/span> century, putting meat on millions of tables. The lever gun is currently enjoying a 21<span class=\"s1\"><sup>st<\/sup><\/span> century renaissance, as new generations of shooters discover its utility, reliability, and just plain fun.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Heritage Manufacturing is famous for affordable Old West-style firearms, and the company recently expanded that approach to include faithful reproductions of iconic lever gun designs. We recently got our hands on the <a href=\"https:\/\/heritagemfg.com\/product\/45-colt-24-barrel-12-rounds-black\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Heritage 92 Black lever action, .45 Colt variant<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">All Heritage 92 variants derive from the classic Winchester Model 1892. John Browning created the rifle by scaling down his Model 1886 rifle and chambering it for pistol cartridges to replace the aging Winchester Model 1873. The Heritage 92 is available in .357 Magnum, .45 Colt, .44 Magnum, and .454 Casull.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Heritage offers the 92 with a variety of options. You can view those on the <a href=\"https:\/\/heritagemfg.com\/product-category\/lever-action\/92-series\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Heritage lever action 92 product page<\/span><\/a>. Our .45 Colt test rifle features a 24-inch octagonal barrel, walnut stock, polished black finish, and a 12-round tube magazine. All specifications and commentary from this point will focus on this particular rifle.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><b>Heritage 92 Black, .45 Colt Specifications<\/b><b><\/b><\/h2>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li1\">Caliber: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/pistol-ammo-45-long-colt\">.45 Colt<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Magazine Capacity: 12 rounds<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Barrel Length: 24 inches<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Overall Length: 42.8 inches<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Weight: 7.4 lbs.

It has a satisfying heft that\u2019s somehow reassuring. You can just tell that the rifle\u2019s recoil will be negligible. The octagonal barrel looks good, adding an air of distinctiveness. The walnut stock and forend are attractive, with a nice grain pattern, though not remarkable otherwise. Solid and serviceable. The curved metal butt-plate protects the stock, and the light recoil eliminates the need for additional padding.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The barrel, receiver, magazine tube, and lever loop all feature Heritage\u2019s polished black finish. It looks good and seems durable through several range trips. Heritage has a good track record, and while long-term durability remains to be seen, there&#8217;s no reason to think the finish won&#8217;t hold up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">This rifle has the standard size lever loop, though Heritage offers the large loop on some models. The large lever loop is not historically accurate to the Winchester 92 or any other lever gun. Hollywood created that component for easier handling and to create the ability to spin cock the rifle, as Chuck Connors did on the TV series <i>The Rifleman.<\/i> John Wayne supposedly created the trend, asking for a larger loop to accommodate his big hands while wearing gloves. His personal Winchester 92 has the enlarged loop.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Heritage 92 obviously keeps the Winchester\u2019s two exposed locking lugs, Browning\u2019s updated lifter system, and the top ejection port. The latter makes mounting a scope difficult, so we used iron sights throughout. The 92\u2019s buckhorn sights are also true. Buckhorns get a bad name from shooters who don\u2019t know how to use them. But they are effective if you take the time to learn. The only new feature is a receiver-mounted thumb safety just behind the ejection port.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_83203\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-83203\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-83203 size-full\" title=\"The Heritage 92 rifle with an open action\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/heritage-92-ejection-port-lifter-3-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Close-up of Heritage 92 lever action open action showing cartridge lifter and ejection port\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/heritage-92-ejection-port-lifter-3-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/heritage-92-ejection-port-lifter-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/heritage-92-ejection-port-lifter-3-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-83203\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Open action of the Heritage 92 showing the cartridge lifter, bolt face, and ejection port detail.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><b>Heritage 92 Lever Action Functionality<\/b><b><\/b><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">The rifle\u2019s action is smooth and consistent, as a good lever gun should be. All lever actions should be run robustly to guard against short-stroking. The Heritage 92 held up to that treatment very well and ran like we expected. All rounds cycled smoothly with no malfunctions. But, again, a lever action must be run properly to facilitate that. Don\u2019t baby it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The side loading gate is a bit stiff, but this is a new rifle. I expect it will loosen up with time and use. 250 rounds isn\u2019t enough to do that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The top ejection port means that spent brass can land just about anywhere, though most went consistently over our heads and slightly to the right. But the occasional flyer makes wearing a hat and eye protection a good idea, especially if you shoot left-handed. As noted, the ejection port also means that scope options are extremely limited, but I wouldn\u2019t want to scope this rifle anyway.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">But the buckhorn sights are accurate if you know how to account and adjust for windage and elevation. That information is out there, and it\u2019s a good skill to have.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">One thing I don\u2019t like is that the hammer completely obstructs the sight picture when it\u2019s in the down position. But that\u2019s not Heritage\u2019s fault, since the original Winchesters are the same way. The rifle can, however, be kept in the half-cock position, which does not block the sights. The thumb safety can only be engaged in the cocked or half-cocked conditions. It blocks the hammer from falling on the firing pin, making unloading safer, since the rounds must be cycled through the action. I wouldn\u2019t use the safety while hunting because it\u2019s small and not conducive to gloved use. The half-cock position alone works just fine in the field.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_83194\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-83194\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-83194 size-full\" title=\"Shouldering the Heritage 92 rifle\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/heritage-92-action-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Man in Griffin t-shirt aiming Heritage 92 lever-action rifle outdoors in winter\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1538\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/heritage-92-action-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/heritage-92-action-1-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/heritage-92-action-1-1024x615.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/heritage-92-action-1-1536x923.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/heritage-92-action-1-2048x1231.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-83194\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Heritage 92 lever-action shouldered and on target at an outdoor range during winter shooting.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><b>Shooting the Heritage 92 Lever Action<\/b><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">This Heritage 92 rifle is a real pleasure to shoot. The gun\u2019s weight, barrel length, and .45 Colt cartridge mean the recoil is all but nonexistent. The full length tube magazine also helps curb what little muzzle rise there is.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Our testing included 250 rounds consisting of the following:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s3\">150 rounds of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/50rds-45-long-colt-underwood-250gr-fmj-ammo\"><span class=\"s2\">250-grain Underwood FMJ<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">100 rounds of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/50rds-45-long-colt-magtech-cowboy-200gr-lead-flat-nose-ammo\">200-grain Magtech Cowboy Action Loads<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">First, this is not a precision rifle. It is isn\u2019t meant to be, and the design is over 130 years old. I managed 3-inch groups from the bench at 50 yards with both loads, but those groups widened to 5+ inches at 100. The 250-grain Underwood dropped about 4 inches at 100 yards, and the 200-grain Magtech Cowboy Load dropped considerably more. In fact, we couldn\u2019t even hit a 10-inch target by aiming at the top edge. But we weren\u2019t terribly surprised since cowboy loads are deliberately underpowered.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Once we got an idea of how it was hitting, we adjusted the rear buckhorn sights to dial the rifle in at 100 to 150 yards on 12-inch steel plates. We shot those targets freehand in 5-round groups. After setting the sights and learning the holds, we consistently rang the steel either 4 out of 5 or 5 out of 5 times with every group. We let the rifle cool for a few minutes after every 20 rounds. I\u2019m confident that more practice, along with more load experimentation, will allow us to shoot the Heritage 92 with \u201cminute of whitetail\u201d accuracy every time.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_83216\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-83216\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-83216 size-full\" title=\"Shooting Heritage 92 with support\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/heritage-92-supported-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Shooter firing Heritage 92 lever-action rifle from supported position using wooden post at range\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1558\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/heritage-92-supported-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/heritage-92-supported-300x183.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/heritage-92-supported-1024x623.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/heritage-92-supported-1536x935.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/heritage-92-supported-2048x1247.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-83216\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Using a wooden post for a supported shooting position with the Heritage 92 at an outdoor range.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><b>Final Thoughts<\/b><b><\/b><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">My co-tester and I are experienced lever gun shooters, and we both liked how this rifle ran. The action is smooth and reliable. It didn\u2019t hang up and was 100 percent reliable through our 250 test rounds. And it feels solid. I\u2019ve said several times now that lever guns must be run robustly. I\u2019ve tested a couple that either could not handle that treatment or felt like they couldn\u2019t sustain it over time. The Heritage 92 is not one of those. We both believe it will be doing its job years down the road.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">This is a nice little multi-purpose rifle. It can hunt or just be something you throw in the truck or hang from the saddle for an outing. The .45 Colt cartridge is capable enough to take whitetails inside 200 yards with the right load. My Dad successfully hunted whitetails with a .45 Colt revolver. This rifle will certainly do it. The 12+1 magazine capacity and fast lever action also make it a viable home defense rifle if you need that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Heritage has done a nice job with this Winchester Model 92 reproduction. \u201cIf it ain\u2019t broke, don\u2019t fix it,\u201d after all. The only addition is the thumb safety. Like the cross bolt mechanisms that appeared in the 1980s and 1990s, I think safeties on lever guns are superfluous. But I understand why gun companies do it in our modern litigious society. The safety catch is unobtrusive and doesn\u2019t take anything away from how the rifle functions, so it\u2019s fine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The 92\u2019s classic lines and feel make it \u201ccomfortable,\u201d as my co-tester noted. I think that\u2019s an apt description. It immediately felt like part of the family. A good lever gun will do that. The Heritage 92 is a good lever gun.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_83215\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-83215\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-83215 size-full\" title=\"The author with the rifle on his shoulder\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/heritage-92-shoulder-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Man carrying Heritage 92 lever-action rifle over shoulder at outdoor range in winter\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/heritage-92-shoulder-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/heritage-92-shoulder-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/heritage-92-shoulder-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/heritage-92-shoulder-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/heritage-92-shoulder-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-83215\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Heritage 92 carried over the shoulder \u2014 a classic carry position that suits its traditional profile.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Heritage 92 Black in .45 Colt is a modern reproduction of the legendary Winchester Model 1892, combining classic Old West styling with reliable modern manufacturing.
