- Just a short video first time shooting my new wrangler.
First impressions, I love it. Handles great, very accurate, and no issues with the 50 or so rounds I ran through it. I look forward to a lot more range time with it!
I love shooting mine!! Yes how to shoot well..and out in the cold fresh air nothing better..I actually like cleaning mine too and keeping it in tip top shape..got around 3000 rounds through mine..stingers were fun and loud
Can’t wait to get mine out again!
I run at tactical ammo and Remington ammo through mine. The Winchester white box is hit all day miss interns of being able to properly seat in the cylinder. I’ve been pleased with mine. It’s a good shooter.
Love the sound of pulling back the hammer, almost as satisfying as a shotgun loading: essentially, you mean business - talk is over you are not listening, and you made a horrible mistake.
Yeah something like that… there’s a term for the feeling you get when feeing the mechanical clicks of a thing… I can’t remember what it is though…
I love my Wrangler!! Nice review brother, keep them coming
Thanks!
I finally got me one I love it !!! Thanks for the review
Let me know how yours runs. I’ve had pretty good luck with mine, very accurate!
It’s better than nothing for self defense. A knife can only do so much. Got this one for my wife to keep in the car.
They’re good shooters
Nice revolver. I bought a used Ruger KNR-5 in 2002 for $225. It only had the mag cylinder so I sent it to Ruger and total cost for adding an LR cylinder and shipping one way (they shipped it back free) was $80. My favorite rimfire revolver. It's not some bogus toy but a real "hefty" gun. Trigger pull is light and the 5.5" barrel and adjustable target sights are quite accurate with LR and magnum ammo.
That’s a great deal!
Just got a Wrangler to compliment my .45 Single Action. Much, much cheaper to “feed” and fires everything I have put in it. Great fun for plinking and reasonably accurate for what it is / the price (about a quarter of what my .45 was to buy). Not an Olympic ISSF contender but awesome fun to shoot. The only beef I have after about 300 rounds, is the effort needed to cock the hammer (about twice the force my .45 requires to cock) but that is something that should “wear-in” over time without replacing springs etc.
Yeah they get dirty pretty quickly, but they’re pretty easy to clean luckily
I have both the Wrangler was $169 and $189 for the HRR they both shoot very damn good and I won’t ever get rid of either one my 10 year old son likes to shoot the HRR and I shoot my Ruger he likes to load and unload his rough rider because it’s so much easier than the Wrangler I highly recommend both if you can find them because they are really affordable
I can’t buy a Rough Rider, not compliant in my state I probably would have. I like the steel frame, but the Wrangler is good for the price, and plenty hood enough quality for a .22LR
@@crankygunreviews either one is a whole lot of fun. Keep shooting brother
2 black ones and the Henry H001 lever gun a great setup they all shoot short longs and long rifles
Yeah I have the H001 Henry as well. I agree, shooting all kinds of .22 is very appealing.
Thanks for your review. I have the Wrangler in burnt bronze Cerecote. It's a good shooting revolver. I do prefer the Colt SAA 1873 action of my Chiappa 1873 22-10 and my Heritage revolvers.
Yeah I would have gotten a heritage but they’re not complaint in my state.
I bought the wife a silver one for her birthday. I bought me a bronze one. I got some aged ivory grips ( plastic) for mine.bought her pearl ones also plastic. For the money they are fun. All I've got nerve to shoot lately is 22. Hope this changes soon. As much fun as 22 is it still isn't the same.
👍
Just did a review on this gun myself, and this popped up lol. Nice vid.
Thanks! I am very happy with mine. It shoots very well, and I’ve since put Altamont grips on it, and it looks even better
Mine was accurate out to 100 yards, as was my Rough Rider (videos posted). I found that the Ruger is better built, but I enjoyed running the Rider more, so I kept the Rider. Well actually now I have a new birds head Rider that I still need to post a video of, but I kept the Rider. However, I have owned 3 Heritage Rough Riders now, and only one of them shot 100% straight; often they are off to left or right. Never heard that complaint with the Wranglers...
Guess that’s another reason I’m glad I got the Wrangler. I can’t stand when a Guns fixed sights are off. I have a Harrington and Richardson 22 revolver, and someone messed with the sights- front one is sow low they had to take the rear sight out to be able to hit the target.
I still like that revolver though :)
@@crankygunreviews Yeah it's pretty sucky thing to have to live with. When I upgrade to higher end .22 revolvers with adjustable sights, I'll be happy to rid myself of the Rough Rider.
@@BuckeyeBallistics single six?
@@crankygunreviews GP100/SP101
@@BuckeyeBallistics I have an SP101 as well- It’s amazing.
I checked those out at my local gun shop, I love the light weight. Good shooting brother. 👍
Thanks :) At least I have enough 22 to keep my busy for a while. Hoping to get out again this weekend.
@@crankygunreviews I gotta make something myself brother. 👍
Nice review of the wrangler, I just purchased one today in midnight bronze it’s a little darker then yours
Hope you enjoy it!
I'm satisfied with mine it's a accurate little gun even with 22 shorts and cci stingers to I believe it would be a good small game gun
I’m very happy with mine as well. I love plinking with it, and for fixed sights it’s very accurate.
im glad you enjoyed it im more likely to buy that then the rough rider that safety..... ill leave it unsaid. great video.
Thanks :) you’re like my only regular commenter lol. Always look forward to what you have to say 👍
@@crankygunreviews no problem i always like share sub and comment its just good thing to do tbf i love my little H&R but that seems easy to unload
do wish I had a .22 to shoot for fun - my gun purchasing was strictly for practical purposes and a .22 just didn't make the cut - would love a 10/22 (rifle or charger) or a Henry lever action, ah well!
You can do a lot with .22 plinkers
@@crankygunreviews yeah, but nothing I can't do with a 9mm or light shotgun load (I have a .410 ollld double-barrel along with a modern 12ga semi)
open to being convinced otherwise though
I don't eat squirrel, and if I HAD to I'd manage with the 9
small game like rabbit or groundhog I prefer the 9 because their brains are so small and I'll only do headshots
if it gets any bigger than that, then 7,.62x39 or heavier shotgun load
@@zerpblerd5966 you can’t shoot .22 from a 12 gauge or .410 (well if you had an adapter you could)... but not being able to shoot 22 is reason to get a 22 lol
@@crankygunreviews hahaha
I hope all your wildest dreams come true🎯🔫
love ours there not a single six but for the price point there all smiles !!! i was trying 120 yrd with ours ill have to try again when its not -10 out hahaha
Yeah I love mine. Ended up getting a single six recently. Super nice shooter
sweet cranky i really would like a single six. does yours have the 22wmg cyl too
@@mrsmel269 yes it does!
sweet !!!!!
cant wait to see it Cranky
So inherently a single action isn't ideal for self defense especially against multiple attackers However, in most self defense shootings only one shot is fired people either die after being shot once, they give up to avoid being shot again, or they just runaway with a gunshot wound. Sometimes even a missed shot is enough to scare off home invaders because you let them know you're armed and shooting at them. So I'd say if you live in a rural area or an area with a low crime rate this might be a great carry gun. If you live in a city where there's crackheads and idiots who consider themselves a gang, then you need a semi auto 9mm or higher and some spare mags. Gotta pack properly for your mission. If you got a smaller statured family member a .22 as a defensive gun you should probably make sure it's at least a double action just so they don't have to fiddle with a hammer under stress. An enthusiast who shoots often should be fine carrying a single action .22 muscle memory should kick in and allow ample time for follow up shots if it's a single intruder.
If it’s all you got it’s fine, but they’re are better options. 22 and single action, not the most awe inspiring self defense gun.
But I get your points.
@@crankygunreviews for sure if I've got a gun of any caliber higher then .22 that's what I'm bringing haha this is an ideal plinker/teaching gun but there are certainly better carry guns. If you've only got $250 budgeted for a defensive gun a 9mm high point would sadly be your best bet haha
@@jthebk3864 or look for a Smith SD9VE, I can still find those for $250-300 and better than a hi-point
Can you hold the trigger down and fan the hammer? Looked like you were pulling the trigger each time
I think you can hold the trigger down and fan it- you cock the hammer once, pull the trigger, then fan the hammer. I only did it once so to be truthful I can’t recall
Got 2 pearl n woody 🔫
fanning a single action revolver is about the worst thing to do.
Had to try it at least once. 🤷🏻♂️I won’t make a habit of it.
Just bought one yesterday great little firearm
@@davidchamness3904 I’m happy with mine for the money it’s well made. It’s no single six, but it’s a functional reliable single action revolver
