Local shop had a Ruger day Saturday, selling them for 175 and you got a free ruger hat and tshirt. I let my son pick out the color. He liked the silver one. People were buying 3 at a time, toting them out left and right. They had the lcp 22 for 279, I almost did it, but deciding against it.

Let us know how it shoots.

I finally shot mine last night with some friends. I think you will be happy with it. Was shooting spinners at 20 yards and a 12” gong at 60. Some of the friends had never shot pistols before and had no trouble on the gong. Lots of smiles. It’s a great little plinker and helps keep ammo cost down by making them slow down.

I've got a black Wrangler. It shoots "off" from the sights with LR ammo. With CB Shorts, it shoots right on. I'm okay with that, as I have other .22 handguns with adjustable sights, and they're lighter weight besides.

Killerv: Wow what a price - I hope you enjoy that Wrangler and the T-shirt and hat!
Sheesh.

they had a pretty good sale, couple ruger reps there too. One was a pecker head, one was pretty cool...I had really wanted the new lcrx 3in 22lr. The cool rep offered to have me one there the same day...don't know how... but they ended up being out of stock. Evidently there is a warehouse close by I've never heard of.

10/22 with scopes for 189, the new 5.7 for 599, 9mm carbine 429, a man could have gotten himself in some trouble in there.

Killerv: I wish I had been there to that sale - again good for you.
Enjoy.

I bought one a few months ago.....I’m terrible with a handgun but it shoots well enough for me. I bought it to mainly shoot rats in the feed room with shotshells.

I think you’ll enjoy yours.

it is a shame we cannot have a 22 like this in a smooth bore. Or 22mag, even better. I know, no chance.

That rat weighs as much as a beaver

$179 now at Sportsmans warehouse. More enjoyable than a mountain of toilet paper that will collect earwigs

189 here.

Why a Wrangler over a Single Six or Bearcat?

They must be selling like crazy. I still haven't seen one in person. Local gun shop says they've been on order for quite a while. In that price range I'd sure like to check one out. But it's not as if I don't have any rimfire handguns. My Single Six Convertible will keep me happy while I'm waiting to see a Wrangler.

180$ vs 500$. 🤷‍♂️

I had a black Wrangler held at a LGS. Got there and looked at a Ruger LCII 22LR as well and decided it might be more fun, and empty cases don’t have to be picked out one at a time! Have not shot it yet.

I recently picked up an antique bronze. Already had a black and 2 silver. I'm wanting one of the OD models. I have one on order and looking forward to it coming in, just don't know when, but the dealer promised me one. Works for me.

I picked up a Black for $189 and later a silver for $162 and have been pleased with the accuracy of both. Sights are dead one and after a little file work on the frame the cylinder on the silver is spinning free now. The loading gate on both of them remains stiff and it does slow down the ammo consumption with a single action revolver. .

My Single Six convertible 6.5" barrel was passed down to a son who would use it much more than I could and that has proven to be the case. He absolutely loves it as a side arm to his .17HMR,

The Wrangler is a terrific bargain and some more knowledgeable than me have commented on some of the similarities with the Single Six.

I already have one of each of those too

At that price it's definitely a Rough Rider killer.

No one ream one out for mags yet, and survive? 'Fess up for the cause.

............. Color me jealous...........

Bought a silver one last night. I'd love to see Reger offer a 22 mag cylinder

At the low cost of a Wrangler, you might want to purchase a drill bit that removes rifling from 22 barrels. Brownells might have them. A gunsmith friend used to make ‘shotguns’ out of Remington pump 22’s (572 ?) and removed rifling leaving a perfect 22LR smoothbore. He also Acraglassed sight ribs on the barrels making them look like miniature 1100’s.
Anyway making a Wrangler into a smoothbore should be easy!

i like wrangler’s stiff loading gate, its set up means loading is done with hammer down, i.e. uncocked, so no need to drop hammer on a loaded chamber and worry about a negligent discharge if your thumb slips...don’t ask me more. i just wish the wrangler’s cylinder held 8 22lr rounds, lots of unused space between its 6 chambers.

I ordered a blued one from Brownell’s a while back, $189 & free shipping. Got to my LGS and they had one sitting on the shelf for $189. But oh well, that’s how it goes.
I feel it’s a bit more “clicky” and rattley than a Single Six but for that price I’m definitely not complaining. I’ve heard about them being regulated for 15 yds at the factory but mine shoots pretty much on at 25 yards with Thunderbolts and some ancient Dynapoints (that I’m trying to burn up before they get too hairy). Side note- if I open the loading gate all the way, the cylinder doesn’t spin very easily. If I move the gate ever so slightly from the fully open position, the cylinder spins like it’s on greased bearings. I haven’t looked into it enough to see if there’s a rough edge that needs to be polished.
And,,, I underestimated the time and effort that goes into shooting 200 rds through a single action!

Funny and true. I remember going out with a Single Six and 300 rounds of Mini-mags. A full afternoon of shooting and I came home with 400 rounds.

I have a SIngle Six AND a Wrangler, and the .22 Mag cylinder WILL slip into place easily enough, and you can work it. I did NOT shoot it with the Mag cylinder in it, it WILL fit, but I haven't gotten around to trying it out yet. Don't even know if I will try it.

I DO like the handy weight of the Wrangler, though, it carries a lot better than the Single Six. Light is nice.
