That might not be good. Does it feel tighter at the muzzle with a cleaning patch?
No, not particularly. It does feel "gritty", if that makes sense.

The problem with autoloaders is the long pressure curve. The .22LR and .22Mag have the same pressure peak but the Mag has much longer curve. They could design a gas system that would probably work beautifully but no one would want to pay for it.Why do makers have so much trouble building a semi-auto 22 mag that works then?
Hey I just noticed something. Is anyone elses Wrangler cerakoted INSIDE the bore? It looks like I've got a flat dark earth bore.
I wonder if the powder used in the .22 WMR cartridges flame-cuts the aluminum over the barrel/cylinder gap in a Wrangler like some of the .357 Max loads did to the Blackhawk frame?The Ruger any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Before the Wrangler, I always suggested folks spend a little more on a used Single Six. Now I tell `em to get the Wrangler. It is twice the gun and only a little more expensive. I've got numerous Single Sixes, three Wranglers and no Rough Riders, for very good reasons. Now looking for the 7.5" version.

That's what Ruger says but I don't believe that for one second. The two cartridges operate at the same pressure, so to the gun, the experience is the same.
I don't think there's enough pressure for that to happen. The Max runs at 40,000psi.I wonder if the powder used in the .22 WMR cartridges flame-cuts the aluminum over the barrel/cylinder gap in a Wrangler like some of the .357 Max loads did to the Blackhawk frame?
I use one of my Single Sixes as a .22 WMR, the other is strictly a .22 LR (as are the Wranglers).
Stay safe.
For years I considered getting a Rough Rider and doing a torture test on it. I didn't do that because it feels like a cheap POS and I couldn't bear the thought of putting thousands of rounds through one. Had nothing to do with the safety.I think most people don't give the rough rider a shot because of the safety. There are too many good sa 22s out there to have that on it. People hate smith and Wesson because of a lock hole that is pretty easy to not notice. And ruger for stamping a paragraph on the barrel. Those don't bother me but the safety is a no go.
It's a rare case where removing something that adds cost would actually make the value of the gun go up.
I have several single six and colt sa revolvers. I greatly prefer the da smith/ruger/taurus/H&R etc revolvers or a semi auto.

For me it's everything else. The feel of the action, the sprayed on finish.Yeah, I'm sure some don't mind it. But I've saw them for 99 bucks every year at Thanksgiving and just can't stomach the safety myself. I just buy a tank of gas or a decent sit down meal. Lol. Or a dozen eggs.

Eggs are nuts. My parents have chickens and an overabundance of eggs. I'm going today to get a few dozen. Feel like I need an armed escort.
Thanks for getting us back on topic and away from fricking chickens!In terms of quality, it's hard to beat the original Single Six (I bought my Super Single Six circa 1975). But if I was in the market for the most affordable yet reliable single-action .22 rf revolver, I'd pick the less than half the price of a Wrangler, Heritage. For a while you could get one with the rebate for under seventy bucks and they commonly sell for under a hundred dollars. If price was no object between the two, I'd opt for the Wrangler. But most of the people who are debating between which of these two to buy, the price is most of the time very much the object.

Also, the HRR comes with wood stocks, not plastic.
Four dozen! Felt like I won the lotto.Good grief. Some folks just have to flaunt their wealth. lol
Not to brag, but thanks to a lot of hard work, I picked up a dozen today myself.
