Just wondering if anyone has or has shot the 22 cal ruger wrangler?
What did you think about it?

Check Altamont Grips to see if they have grips on sale for Black Friday. I got two sets of their Ruger Single Six/Wrangler grips for $20 each in 2019 (I didn’t need anymore grips so I didn’t look to see if a sale was still on for 2020)I bought one last week,for the coin it seems fine. I banged off 6 rounds to check function. If it ever stops raining on the Oregon coast for long enough,I'll check it out with different rounds to see if there is reasonable accuracy in the revolver. If I like it,I will probably score some nicer grips for my Vaquero and put its grips on the Wrangler.
i have a ruger wrangler, and a single six and bearcat, and a heritage roughrider. for $200 the wrangler is absolutely the best choice for a new, one and done, rimfire revolver. its stiff loading gate is by design to allow its handy free-spinning cylinder. i only wish that the wrangler came with a standard 8 round 22lr cylinder like its lcr cousin. if one can be a patient shopper on gb.com my alternative suggestion is a scuffed but functional ruger single six for $300ish.
Can you elaborate?Nonsense.
If snake shot is the intended use then I see no reason to go with the big, heavy Wrangler over an NAA Earl or Minimaster with the spare .22 LR cylinder. You'd have the ability to shoot .22 Mag too.Ok, thanks I just really bought it for snake shot. I'm going to use it for training for my grandson. I have lots of larger cal. Revolvers and auto pistol. But not smaller 22. I plan to have a buddy of mine smooth it up.
Thanks for replies.

Wish it came w a 22 mag cylinder.
My SBH has the exact same method of operation, but significantly less resistance.more on the “stiff loading gate-free spinning cylinder” that i alluded to...

“Loading Gate and Cylinder
Secondly, the cylinder lock-up system is different–how and why isn’t that important or interesting, the key thing to know is that when the loading gate is open the cylinder can rotate BOTH directions. This makes loading and unloading nicer. It also means that the loading gate isn’t just a loading gate…the loading gate is connected to the cylinder lock-up so opening the gate cams a pin down to let the cylinder rotate. In the bottom gap under the cylinder, you can see the small locking bar in place–that is what you cam out of the way when opening the loading gate. This makes for a VERY stiff loading gate to open, but adds a level of safety.”
