I got my wrangler today. I am very pleased with it. It may not be a single six, but it feels almost as good in the hand. The holster is surprisingly nice, and the shop I transferred through was much better than the last time I went there. Overall A+ experience today. Sadly no time to shoot today, still trying to get a house sold. So for now, I can only report on the things I see people griping about.
No paint in the barrel!
Barrel feels nice and tight. Zero wiggle.
Painted finish looks very nice. Almost looks like a bead blasted blued finish.
timing checks out on all 6 torpedo tubes.
trigger isn’t great but also not awful. I know my way around a SA revolver and will slick that right up… after I move… and get the kids settled… maybe this year.
cylinder looks a lot like the one from my single six, but there’s just enough difference that they won’t get mixed up easily.
The bug has bitten. I already want more guns like this one. Give me a 357 carryhawk!!!

First shot was right to point of aim at 12 feet. Can’t do more than that right now, but it shoots straight with colibri ammo.
you are hereby counseled: single action revolvers are an addiction and the ruger wrangler is a gateway drug.
Correction: Guns are an addiction and THR is a gateway drug.

That's the same one I have with the DeSantis holster. I love it. Most accurate .22 lr SA revolver I own. It loves CCI Mini Mags.
I looked at three of them at an auction, NIB a year ago, and was turned off by the HUGE cyl. to barrel gap. Maybe for high volume production, they ensured that gap would be enough? Well, the ones I looked at would lose a lot of gas pressure. I'd like to hear what it looks like when fired at dusk. Probably blows a lot of fire out the sides and loses a lot of fps?

I was in the F&R store again yesterday afternoon. Not finding what I was looking for I completed my visit as I aways do, by looking at their gun selection. They seem to always have a number of rough riders under glass but there was not a one to be seen while the bird's head wranglers had grown to seven in number. I don't know it that means anything or not.
