Different barrel lengths and maybe a Bird's Eye grip model with a short barrel.

Good idea, but the 22 mag out of a short barrel gun is pretty much useless.

I was thinking more along the lines of having a spare .22 Mag cylinder with a longer 7" or 7.5" barrel model.

Not true at all, .22 Mag from any handgun barrel is minimum 150 fps more than .22 LR.

Totally disagree. 22 mag is lucky to burn half its powder out of a short barrel gun. Conclusive tests have proven without a shadow of a doubt.

I let my disappointment with Ruger cloud my thoughts and failed to congratulate the OP on his purchase. The Ruger Wrangler is a very nice .22LR Revolver at a reasonable. price, and I am sure he will like it.

$199 online plus a local transfer is pretty much the going rate at this time, if you can find one of the larger dealers with them actually in stock. I expect them to sell locally at $189 or less plus tax IF Ruger ever finally ships them.

We finally got one in. I pick it up tomorrow. I'm also a RGR stockholder. This one's rollout reminds me of the P85 and the Old Army, both hitting the shelves way after intro. The Kimberley Solo was also a bad intro. We had one they sent as a sample. We had orders for 80+ before we got one six months later to sell.
 
I just tried smga.com and the only Wrangler they have in stock is curiously priced at $199; that is $20 higher than the 'out of stock' black and silver ones. :)

I have given up reading Ruger's 'new products' announcements and all their other daily e-mails. I just delete them unread - why waste the time? They make fine firearms, but I will start recommending potential customers to go with a Heritage .22/.22wmr combo or some other manufacturer's .22 SA Revolver if they hope to have one in time to put it in this year's Christmas stockings. My three main distributors (Zanders, Williams, and Davidson's) still have had none available to order.

So far Ruger has made over 60,000 units. Works out to about 10,000 per month. Given that rate of production I'm not sure what more Ruger could've done to anticipate the demand.

The gold one with ivory grips looks really cool. I have a black Wrangler and kind of want to get faux mother of pearls for it, “just because”. But I can’t find any reasonably priced ones.
