Ruger Wrangler Review

[9Cal_OC]

Good review. Seems like a fun plinker.

A good price for sure, just couriuos where you found that price, their Fathers Day flyer says $199.99

Because the flyer doesn't say it's on sale. Anything on sale in that flyer has a red and yellow star that tells you how much you're saving during the sale. So I assumed $189.98 will be their regular price.

lol, I think they don't want to say in the big yellow star "save $10.00" or "Save 5%" ...

Looking online, a localish place has the black and silver in stock for 199. In looking, I noticed the sights are...less than desirable. I may still grab one, but that kept me from impulse buying. I'll read more reviews and keep looking at photos.

I was in Turners this afternoon. Sure enough, $189 is their regular price. They also confirmed anything without a red/yellow star in their ad is their regular price.

You'll also notice they have a red/yellow star that says $50 off an $1,800 gun, so that's far less than 5%.

lol, they probably lied to you because the website says 199.99 and so does their flyer. Darn liars

Great review!

Looks like a fun little shooter. Admittedly I'm not a big fan of the matte finishes, as they look like something a rattle-can tagger put on it, but the overall quality of the Ruger seems a step up from the other very low priced options in this segment of the market.

Nice review!

I've seen reports that the CCI Stingers have a casing that is a tad longer than the normal .22 LR.

I'm on the wait list for one with my local shop. $171.95 OTD. No tax and no DROS here I wish Ruger would crank them out faster!

Thank you for the review. I have been wanting to buy a single-six for a while now. My wife says she wants to go shooting with me but wants the single-six she shot with her Dad as a kid.

I of course want to buy her a semi-auto HD handgun in .380 or 9mm. Maybe this is a good "gateway gun"... and I have never not enjoyed shooting a single six. So, maybe this is a good low(er) cost starter/compromise.

However...I have shot the same 1970's era single-six my wife shot as a kid, and something in me wants the real-deal. Is that weird...?

[Spyder]

Both. Both is the answer.

I think I know the answer (I hope) but going to ask anyways. I see the frame says 22LR, can you shoot 22 long and 22 short ammo?

Every 22lr revolver I've ever had was able to shoot 22 short and long, because the rim is the same circumference.

I am a Ruger fan. I own a .44 Magnum carbine, four 10-22s, and in the past I have owned three Single Six revolvers, all of them were very accurate.

The Wrangler, just does not prompt me to go buy one. I don't like the matte, cast frame appearance. I could be wrong, and the Wrangler may end up being a hit with the shooting community, and it may become the 10-22 of .22LR revolvers.

Reading the reviews, did prompt me to want another Single Six, so I went on gunbroker.com and bought a used Single Six made in the 70's, in excellent condition, and it had a 6 1/2" barrel with adjustable sights, and I only paid $239.00, which is only $40 more than what the Wrangler cost.

^ showoff. 🤣

I often think about buying a SA ‘cowboy’ handgun and a low cost quality 22 from Ruger would be a great place to start.

What stops me from doing it is the work involved just to shoot it. I’m too use to my 617 (10 shots) and LCRx (8 shots) and all you have to do to reload is swing the cylinder open, dump the rounds and load with fresh ammo.

After the initial fun of a new gun I think I’d tire of it and rarely ever shoot it.

Well if you just waited long enough, you could've scored a used Wrangler for $100
