I’ve had one for about a year. The LGS let me keep scrutinizing them as they rolled through until I found one with a tighter than average barrel/cylinder gap & a good overall fit for the model. Was looking for black but Burnt Bronze was the first to appear better than most in fitting & the color grew on me. I may me lucky but mine shoots dead to the sights.
Only complaint would be how stiff the loading gate is to open. This appears to be common. Stiffly sprung.
All in all very impressed for the price point.

All in all very impressed for the price point. That's how mine is too. Very stiff loading gate. Hard to open. No complaints other than that, thus far.

Loading gates are stiff. And I have a few of them. Not sure why they are so stiff.

How to fix a hard to open Wrangler gate Here's a picture of the gate detent spring. Measure the gap at the ends then place the looped end in a vice and squeeze it until the gap is about half as wide. This worked great for me with a .1" gap.

What is everybody using for holsters with these? Funny that you should ask. I just ordered one from Cabelas got it for free using points. I have a nice Simply Rugged holster that I had Rob make for my Single Seven but now won't fit because I put on taller sights. It would be a shame for the holster to go to waste so I ordered the Wrangler which should fit perfectly.

I've checked all the Cabela's and BPS in the area and they don't have Wranglers in stock either in-store or for order.

Just ordered a minimalist type Triple K for $30 from ShopRuger. Had to get one for my Blackhawk that was a little higher dollar in order to get the fee shipping. Didn't want to pay $8 to get a $30 holster shipped though.

This morning Cabelas had the burnt bronze available for ship to store so I burned some points. I love free guns. And yes, I did buy a gun to fit an existing holster.

Sounds like I was dogging you. I wasn't. Sorry for the tone of the post. I've done stuff very similarly. See my post above about buying another holster just to get free shipping. lol
I don't think those have been available for awhile. Congrats on the score. Good to use those points up.

I keep mine in a holster I made in High School, some 45 years ago. I got a kit from Tandy, and assembled it in one of those elective classes that were prevalent back then. The holster weighs almost as much as the Wrangler. It's big enough to take a Blackhawk, but the Wrangler goes into it deep enough it won't fall out. There's a hammer loop, for extra security. I can also use the Bianchi 1L that fits my Single Six.......................

I ought to just drop the hammer on another one but there's a couple of guns I could use more, so I'll save my Cabela's points for now. Thanks for the heads-up.
