Man, I see threads on these little Wranglers on every gun forum I visit. I bought one while in the process of finding my wife's "perfect" revolver but I've never shot it. Neither has she since I bought her a Bearcat--it's just sitting in the safe with its wood grips and Wolff hammer spring. I gotta drag this little jewel with me the next time I go shooting. A Wrangler, a Heritage revolving rifle and an NAA Hogleg--that oughta be fun!
When I first saw mention of a Ruger Wrangler, I had to look up what it was. When I found it, I thought: "Why the HECK do they need another SA revolver in 22? They already have the Bearcat for small hands and the Single Six for bigger hands."
I went to a local shop last week and saw them on the rack. They're about the same size as a Single Six, but are priced at $200. Got it; it's a budget cowboy plinker. It costs about the same as a Hi-Point, but seems to be of better quality, and is not likely to be the choice of gang-bangers; a nice compromise by Ruger, I think. I noticed they all seem to have some kind of powdercoat, which makes me wonder about what grade of steel is underneath...
