Ruger Wrangler

New 22LR SA Revolver from Ruger.



Looks like a ~$200 street price putting it as a competitor with the Heritage Rough Rider. The Rough Riders have a good reputation but being backed by Ruger vs. Taurus is a huge advantage IMO...

That bronze one is a nice change of pace.

I have a Rough Rider, great little shooter so I'd imagine a Ruger-made version would be even better.

I'm in. I've been looking for something to shoot .22 shorts.

$249 MSRP / $199 Street, so definitely worth the Ruger premium over Heritage. Only wish they offered an additional cylinder in .22 mag. Knowing Ruger that will be next year.

Between me and 2 friends we've had to send 4 pistols back to ruger for defect repairs in the last 2 years. At this point I have little faith that a "cheap" ruger will function correctly.

To me they are way too chunky and kind of ugly. YMMV. And a two toned cylinder? Again, not for me.

Single action cowboy pistols should look graceful.

I will probably have a gander at them when I find one in the wild, more plinking options is always more good.

Same here since I haven’t had a .22lr pistol other then an AR pistol in years. At 1st I wasn’t sure what to make of it with the cerakote finish then I saw the caliber and price and changed my mind. Other then it being fairly reliable I’m hoping that the grip is a bit bigger then the Heritage options. I have medium thin hands but always found them to be to small for accurate shooting. It would also be good to start my kids off on pistol since it’s a SA.

It’s definitely not an heirloom but what is these days at $200.00.

I'm leery of the cerakote too, since my only experience with it is on caniks. Where it rubs off pretty bad inside the slide. That being said its a single action revolver, so there aren't many places where that can happen.

I'm not going to search for it, but I believe that one of the cerakote finishers who post here said that revolvers with cerakote last about 400 rounds before the finish starts getting damaged by the gases escaping from the cylinder/barrel gap.
