Ruger Super Wrangler

[nofendertom]

I just saw a video on this. A Ruger Wrangler with an adjustable rear sight and comes with 22lr and 22mag cylinders. Interesting. Video was by sootch00.

Nice, have to pick one up when they become available and after the "gotta have it" persons spending subsides and prices get competitive.

So a cheapo Single-Six convertible? I guess I would go for the real thing.

Seems like the demise of the Single Six is near.

Dag nab it, I just got a regular one. Will have to sell it and pick one of these up because that sounds a whole lot more interesting

Yeah - I came away from that link thinking "If I want a Mag cylinder for my SS direct from Ruger, I guess I better speak now (soon) or forever hold my peace".

I came here to post the same thing. I hope this doesn’t mean they’ll stop making the good stuff. I like this idea but please keep offering the better finishes and fit of the SS.

I wonder how many Single Sixes they actually sell in a year given the price they ask for them. I’d bet they either go away or become a limited run offering. They’re a quality 22 but they can’t be selling a lot of them.

Yeah, I'm glad I have a few Single Sixes.
Anyone who thinks they are expensive now, just wait until the used market is the only option.
Mine won't be going anywhere.

I can see the varieties of the Single Six being paired down and made to be distributor exclusives. They won't ever fully go away.

If it's gonna be a super wrangler it should have a 10 shot cylinder

 

[adcoch1]

Maybe a 327 model? I really need to replace my single six. I love the wrangler I picked up, but I miss my single six.

 

[JCooperfan1911]

Will the dimensions match that of the single six? Will the same holsters apply?

Hhmm, it seems to me that I paid quite a bit less than that for my Single Six about 25 years ago. Make me kind of glad I have one (with both cylinders) if Ruger is going to curtail production.

1. What took Ruger so long to offer the Mag cylinder.
2. Yes, the Single Six is more expensive. It is also TOP QUALITY. They will always sell.

I will probably never own a Wrangler. Had 3 Heritage, hated that crap hammer block safety. Looked to replace them with Wrangler. Found a Single Six, for just few $$ more. Then, another, then another. 3 SS for price of 4 Wrangler. Last gunshow, I seen another. Should have bought it.
3. It is great to have an economical, entry level .22. But, a top tier, quality model is good to have, too.

Ruger has sold many Wranglers in .22LR, the last 4 years. Now, a dual cylinder model will have buyers clamoring to own one. Most of which, I believe, will never or rarely fire a .22 Magnum round.

LORD, I hope not. The Wrangler is a far inferior revolver. period.

I don't understand Ruger's position on this to have what might amount to strong competition with the Wrangler against the SS. I've suggested previously to Ruger to upgrade their Bearcat in a centerfire cartridge which makes more sense to me than the Wrangler.

I imagine their motivation is that they sell 10 times more wranglers than bearcats or single six's and it cost them 1/4 as much to make one.

Why does Colt make a Gold Cup?
Why does S&W have Performance Center?
Why Ford, Chevy, Dodge, etc have base models and King Ranch, High Country, etc?
Why does the butcher sell ribeye and filet?

No thank you, Ruger. I have had my wrangler experience.

Seems like good marketing on Ruger’s part. Come out with a product at a moderate price, wait a few years for the sales to slow down.

Then offer the same product with the features people wanted in the first place, new buyers, and probably repeat buyers who bought it previously.

Personally, I have no interest in a gun made with an aluminum or Zamak frame, or painted coating, regardless of price.

Apparently the new one has a steel frame. I assume the grip frame will still be pot metal

If it has a steel frame sounds like it will definitely be competing with the Single-Six.

 

[someguy2800]

After looking at the specs more closely I am loosing my initial excitement. Only offered in 5.5" barrel for now and 8 ounces heavier than a 4.62" wrangler. After looking at specs I think what I really want is a regular wrangler reamed out to 22 mag or if I stay 22lr just get a bearcat.

 

[nofendertom]

sootch00 in his video says the Super Wrangler has an aluminum alloy frame.
