Ruger Wrangler

[Scratch705]

called can asked two turners and they cut off pre-orders....

guess that means i'll have to wait for it to go on sale before i get one then...

I spoke with a Turner's manager yesterday who said that Ruger was overwhelmed with pre-orders. Originally the Wrangler was to be out in mid-May, now pushed out to mid-June.

New review up from 22plinkster.

Why would Ruger push the initial release date out another month? What benefit does that buy them? Does making the handguns and then keeping them in storage for up to a month sound like a particularly good idea? Why wouldn't they want to get them out and realize the sales/money?

If the revolver is delayed, perhaps some other factor is in play. Possible problems with the production line or supplies?

Depending on your distributor/FFL, it could be backordered due to demand. Some have received and delivered to customers already.

I did a Turner's pre-order. Maybe other distributors/FFLs are ahead of them in line? Maybe a production problem? No clue, but bummed that I have to wait longer.

i hope once the Wrangler is released, other FFL's can get close to Turner's pre-sale pricing.

or else i would be really bummed i missed out on the pre-ordering.....

or wait till ver2.0 comes out with a 6inch barrel and FO sights? although that would entail a price bump of at least $100-$200 i'm assuming for those two things.

*LOL* My wife just HAD to have one. So we hopped over to the Turner's in Temecula. Pre-orders at $179.99 are over (we went 05/04/19) so now the price is $199.99. No DROS until the gun is in stores. They told us Mid-May aswell, not Mid-June

Probably +$25 street price

well if turners is selling for $199.99 regular price, then i can expect independent stores to sell for around $180.

since we all know that turners regular price is always higher than everyone else.

Zinc grip frame means that this revolver cannot be sold in places that have a "saturday night special" melting point law.

That would be only 4 states if I remember correctly, went through this with trying to get KY to ship a Bridhead grip Heritage Rough Rider to CA they Claimed the melting point issue. Was quickly corrected by Heritage and the pistol was shipped.

Dros'ed my Wrangler today at Turners in Reseda. It felt very nice and the build quality was excellent. I ended up buying a Henry 22 Lever action as well. So hard to justify a dros expense on a single low cost gun...

What date did you pre order your Wrangler?
