"No worries, I only got hit with a .22"... 'sez nobody ever.
Good review, I like them both but the ability to shoot long rifle or magnum ammo leans me toward the Heritage.
Also means it’s more durable so not sure why people think ruger is build more strong
@@LaughingCrowcorp people think rugers are built strong because of how the GP was based off of the manurhin revolvers used by the gign which were expected to fire 100 full power 357 Magnum loads a day and work great. For the most part the Ruger gp100 made good on that reliability. They are damn near indestructible, but it's far to early to tell for the wrangler
My argument for free spin being nicer.. when u shoot cowboy action u learn the load 5 habit. I never thought I'd get used to that but I did. Heck I only load 5 in my 1911 mags when I practice shoot. Anyway the free spin makes it easier to rotate back to the unloaded cylinder
Love the 22 mag. option but I cannot get past the safety on the Heratige! But that may be just me.
👍
I looked at them both before I purchased the Ruger. I actually like the transfer bar safety. Mine came with walnut grips and a nice holster. Any grips that fit the Ruger single six should fit the Wrangler also. Enjoyed the video.
My mind is blown with all the custom options available for grips.
Mine also has the wooden grips.
Nice little six shooter.
I bought both , sold the ruger
Stupid move
Yeah right ..Kevin I've bought all 3 the ruger the diamond back n the heritage n I myself am considering selling the ruger because the shot placement is to the left n it shoots low... not the same story on the diamond back or the rough rider they r literally the funest plinking ever so accurate yet so affordable great job heritage
The fit and finish of the Heritage is amazing for the price. I like that the operation is more closely like the original Colt than the modernized Ruger. I also like that the Heritage indexes at half cock for unloading…the Ruger cylinder is freespinning and you have to kind of manually line it up with the ejection rod. The Heritage also shoots tighter groups (at least in my experience) and I LOVE the option to run 22lr and 22 WMR (22 mangnum). It’s a fun plinking gun and doesn’t pretend to be anything else. Nor does it want to be. No, you won’t use it instead of your $900 Vaquero for CAS, but you ‘ll use it for practice…and just about anything else.
my wife bought me a "barkeep" & i was shocked at the accuracy of the least expensive gun i now own! Plus just bought a 22 wmr cylinder for less than $40!! from heritage.
Perfect description.
Great review, buy one of each and have a blast. Both have their pluses and minuses.
There is almost no difference in materials and quality,, but Heritage offers 35 different guns in .22 cal.... Ruger offers the same gun in three colors.
I have the 22lr heritage. Had for over a year now and not one malfunction. I paid less than $130 for mine new. I also love the fact the heritage has a safety. I think all firearms should have a safety. Just my opinion
I paid $260 for mine in MN but I love it
@Daniel Lozada absolutely I mean every firearm will be different prices in different states. But definitely a good snake gun for camping
ALL revolvers have a built in safety. It's called hammer down. A revolver does,nt need a thumb safety. The person who designed the RR probably got laughed out of the board meeting when they showed the safety on the cylinder. JUST STUPID
They both seem to shoot fine for what they are, but I can buy a Heritage sometimes for $99.00 and the Ruger costs $199.00. The Ruger costs twice as much as the Heritage and I don't see twice the weapon. I've had trouble with Ruger quality control and Ruger's customer service on my Ruger 9mm so I am not in love with Ruger.
I am older and suffer with gout and arthritis in my hands and my son has suffered a stroke which left his left hand useless which makes loading a semi auto nearly impossible for both of us. I think the way the Heritage's cylinder locks in place when loading and unloading will make it easier for us with troubled hands. The Ruger's cylinder rolls freely and you have to line it up and hold it in place while loading and unloading which makes it more difficult and nearly impossible for my son.
For these reasons I would choose the Heritage Rough Rider over the Ruger.
The .22 magnum option is not that big of a deal. The cost of the .22 magnum ammunition and the ballistics out of the revolver doesn’t add much. For the price of .22 magnum I can get wad cutters for 38 and use a Blackhawk.
Do you reload or know someplace to get .38 wadcutters for cheap?
A few weeks ago I paid $17.00 for box of 50 .22mags, target rounds. The same store had .38spc target ammo for twice that.
I always preferred the Heritage. Have two of them now. Transfer bar is an advantage for the Wrangler of course. I dislike the lack of rotating clicks on the Wrangler. Both are good, just like others the Heritage are more customizable and flexible. Love Ruger in general but just not the Wrangler. Give me a single 6 and I'll love you though. Pricey but sweet. Good point on the defensive aspect of WMR. I like having the option for fun but never thought about it that way. Still, I'll pick up the bronze Wrangler if ever see it on a good sale.
That’s honestly what sold me and I was raised on ruger revolvers and are quite fond of them. For the price my next purchase will be a wrangler but I like that classic Colt action even if it’s “not as safe” as some would say.
PSA has the black birdshead and the bronze regular grip real cheap right now.
Just snagged a birdshead wrangler for 170.
Wanted a little target/plinker and figured I wouldn't shoot wmr that much so I went with the Ruger. I also have a good history with Rutgers CS.
I was close to buying a Rough Rider the other day, now I’m considering the Ruger instead.
downside to the Ruger is the finish..it's not blued and will rust if not properly cleaned/stored.
@@gloppy101 how does cerakote rust
@@gloppy101 no it will not. Cerakote DOES NOT RUST ,ITS LIKE THE FINISH THEY PUT ON MARINE SHOTGUNS TO GUARD AGAINST THE ELEMENTS. WHOEVER TOLD YOU THE RUGER WILL RUST IS A IDIOT.
Why do you not clean and store your weapons properly?
@@gloppy101 Bluing will rust faster than cerrokote!
I’ll take the Ruger all day long and that applies to any revolver caliber. I like to load 6 rounds and not worry about it.
I prefer the heritage rough rider, loading is easier due to the cylinder being indexed, the ruger s cylinder spins free with no indexing so it's harder to line up and load each round. Thanks.
And many more reasons. I agree !!
I owned a wrangler and was great little 22. No issues for me.
What are you 5 and blind. ? Line up the holes to load. Line up the cylinder dents with the extractor arm to empty. GOOD LORD, PEOPLE ARE HELPLESS
The Heritage being the superior firearm really bunches up your panties , get a grip. @@twolak1972
I won't buy a Ruger because of the new style action. I've shot SAAs all my life and I just load one skip one load the rest
I'd rather have the 22 mag option.
To choose the more poorly made firearm because it can also fire .22 WRM is just short sighted. The ruger has a lifetime warranty and is far better made. Plus, that God awful safety makes the gun hideous and the owner's manual tells you to still leave one cylinder empty, cowboy style. No thanks, I will stick with the ruger.
poorly made? I doubt you own a Heritage.
I've handled the Heritage and found I could not tolerate that safety, so no I did not buy it. The phrase I used was "the more poorly made". Emphasis is on the word "more" not "poorly. But no I don't own a Heritage, I own an old Ruger single six .22 which is an heirloom quality gun I picked up for $200, used, about 13 or so years ago.
Comparatively, both these guns are "more poorly made." But the design (need to load 5) and the appearance (due to that ugly plastic pointless safety) makes the Wrangler the far better gun. IMHO
The lifetime warranty also reflects Ruger's confidence in the build quality.
Your full of s. T
@@garysh3580 It's "you're full of s" dummy.
I have both, the ruger is higher quality, but I like them both.
I really want a Ruger Single 9, but for no reason at all its not legal California. I have a few Taurus revolvers atm. 856. 856 UL, 856 Executive Grade, and soon a model 65. I also have a Chiappa 1873-22. The Chiappa is same quality as heritage. Its okay, nothing special. But i dont care if i lose it or break it either. Good thing about these guns is you can take a $165 gun and take it to the woods and off the beaten trail. If you get it beat up it doesnt matter. Im thinking about getting the Wrangler as a backup plinker. I also have a Ruger SR22 and Mark 3 Target. But idk why, I just prefer revolvers. In 2011 when i turned 21 i bought myself a Charter Arms pathfinder. With no prior firearms experience, and wanting some sort or self protection without much recoil i bought a 2" snubby chambered in .22 WMR, threw some checkered wood grips on it, and loaded her up with CCI maxi mags. I was the first in my circle of friends to start taking concealed carry seriously. That thing went with me everywhere. I got a little more confident and replaced it with a Rossi R351. Now despite having glocks, berettas, CZs, and rugers I keep going back to my .38s.
I've always liked my wheel guns more than pistols
@@rifleman17hmrshooter yes sir, I just trust them a whole lot more
I bought 2 heritage rough riders and had to send them both back as they would only fire half the time... Buy a Ruger
I had the same issue and had to send mine back at first
Hey Ruger, if your readin' this; make a 22mag cylinder!
And beef up the frame a little.
Definitely save the wmr rounds for self defense specifically though, unless you really just like blowing stuff up for less money than .357. Just because LR is so much less expensive to practice with.
Wish the RUGER came with longer barrel length choices and adjustable rear sight and front blade like the single six. Birds head grips options would stir some interest I bet also.
It's a Ruger ...end of story
Grip selections for both models are vast . Wrangler grips interchange with single-six.
Picked up the Wrangler and I'm in love with it. I don't find the free-spinning cylinder to be an issue after a bit of practice with a few dummy rounds, as well as a good range session.
I'll probably get a Rough Rider as well. They're so affordable there's almost no reason to NOT get one.
I bought a Ruger and am trying to get my range buddy to snag a heritage for plinking. They're so affordable theres no point not to. Plus ammo is DIRT cheap currently so why not.
What kinda accuracy results are you expecting shooting free handed that are going to provide any valid conclusions. At least shoot from a rest. Both handguns are way more accurate than you. The Heritage crushes the Ruger for value. Picked up a 6.5 in Heritage locally for $124, inside the box there was a coupon or instructions on how to get a magnum cylinder (or an additional 22lr ) cylinder for $29.99 with free shipping,.from Heritage. For $35 you can get a pretty engraved one also free shipping. All in with tax included I got the Heritage combo for $163. Ruger was $200 for the least expensive one I found on line. That’s $212 for me + ffl fee if I can’t find it locally ( it was available with free shipping from PSA). Finally, I hate the fact that when loading the Ruger the cylinder doesn’t hold its loading position, the cylinder just spins.
I hate the spinning cylinder
Good video! I'm grad I went with the Heritage! I love it!
Technically, the Ruger's transfer bar prevents accidental discharge by NOT absorbing and transfering the momentum from the hammer to the firing pin. Unless the trigger is pulled all the way back, the transfer bar drops out of the way and prevents the hammer from transfering energy to the firing pin.
The advantage of having 22mag is only if that’s the only gun you own.
Good review, although I found your groupings better on the Heritage.
The free wheeling cylinder in the Ruger was a deal breaker for me. Plus the Heritage looks a lot like the real deal, just like the Colt Single Action Army.
I agree. The cylinder needs detents between chambers.
Same here.
Me too
We have our heritage staged in the basement loaded with .22wmr...the missus noted it the only place in house where she didn't have quick access to a gun and she trusts the heritage (ours has been great)...but of course now I miss it at the range...I was looking at both wranglers and heritages the other day thinking about it...our gun buying budget is pretty much used up, and there other guns on the wishlist, so for now videos like this help put the comparison in mind...good job...
I chose the Heritage with Birds Head grips and 3 3/4" barrel.
Very happy with my choice.
Got it for $149.99 inc. mag cylinder. It also had a $30.00 mail in rebate making the total only $119.00.
If you are testing for accuracy, S-L-O-W D-O-W-N. Take more time for each shot. I know some of it was edited. I could see it, but not all of it was, and you rushed through something that is important that you slow down.
You are the first among many I’ve viewed that had accuracy more to Ruger. Could be the one you purchased like anything could have been a little less as a Friday pistol. My Heritage shoots very good groups. I wasn’t a big fan of the Ruger even though I own and live the others I’ve grown up with and own today. I liked the action and the loading more with the Heritage even though it’s cheaper and really not by much.
I was thinking the same thing. As a matter of fact this video is the only one that had the wrangler out shooting the heritage.
And i also! And im a ruger fan for life! But not in this light on these econo line rim fires! Granit, my wrangler ss looking (w black cylndr) looks tuff! Wieght is nice too. But Heritahe much more bang for the $$. Extremely versatile, .
I got a heritage but I have been thinking of replacing it with a Ruger.
Why? I'm considering both.
save your money or keep both. I wanted to like the Ruger, but I most always grab the Heritage since my two have excellent triggers.
Heritage on sale now $99 at Dunham's.
You failed to mention the warranties. Ruger Wrangler has a lifetime warranty and the Heritage RR is one year.
That’s a great point 👍🏽
Not true. Per their website, Heritage has a lifetime warranty.
@@tracyelsinger1088z
For those considering a RR over A wrangler because of the 22 magnum.option you,re not gaining anything over a HV 22 with the short barrel..also compared to ruger quality RR,s are just junk..You,re gonna find one that works fine once in a while but a wrangler works all the Tim's and is much better quality and great CS.
Thanks!
No comparison. The Heritage is cheaply made, the Wrangler has a quality manufacturer. I own 2 Rough Riders. They're fun little pistols, but super cheaply made. One of mine is in pieces after it jammed and the barrel wouldn't rotate. You get what you pay for. Also, bought 2 Rough riders and they never sent me the rebates. No more Heritage for me. I don't have a Wrangler, but have 3 Rugers - 2 rifles, 1 pistol. All are extremely well made.
I've been eyeballing the super wrangler
The Heritage's safety is a detriment.
A FREAKING JOKE , 1ST TIME I SAW ONE I LAUGHED FOR 5 MINUTES. what does heritage think we all are 5 years old.
Went in to get the heritage, left with the ruger😁
Same lol
I'm so sorry!
My heritage has frequent mis fires I'm guessing the ruger dosen't have that issue
I haven't seen it in either
Have a ruger, not 1 misfire in over 300 rounds.
Excellent video review. You point out all of the key features and differences. Very well done. I really enjoyed watching this.
I bought a Heritage Rough Rider and have regretted it ever since. Gun has hardly worked in 2 years. Looked at Ruger last week and there is no comparison. Ruger is high quality and built very well. Heritage is junk.
Eh that sucks, I've had decent luck with mine
I'm a big fan of cheap fun, so both of these float my boat. That being said, if I could only have one, it'd be the Ruger Wrangler.
As far as quality goes, I'd agree. Fun factor and variety being to heritage though
The lowest-priced Ruger is about $70 more than the lowest-priced Heritage, and it doesn't have 2-guns-in-1 flexibility of the Heritage.
Same grips as the single six
Excellent review. I went to my local Dunham's when the Ruger Wrangler was on sale. We (Little Boss also) liked the bronze version. I like the looks of all 3 color options. As I was buying the Wrangler I also bought a pearl birds' head gripped 4 1/2" Heritage with the WMR cylinder included because it looked so cool. Love that .22 MAG! It's loud. No felt recoil. It's expensive ammo for sure. The safety on the Heritage is Fugly! It even has an unsightly plastic y-looking MIM seam down the middle. As unsightly as it is, it's a surprisingly nifty feature even though it's easy to forget to take it off. Couldn't they knurl the thing or put some crosshatching on it? The cylinder release knobs on my S&W revolvers look exactly right. They can't Art-Deco design a button that looks like it fits?
Love both of these guns. Both of mine are accurate too.
SWEEEEEET ! Love the old West cowboy style guns .. :)
My brother in law has the Heritage. I shot it a few times and came away feeling like it was really just a toy. I picked up the Ruger a year ago. Got the burnt bronze ceracote. It came with the plastic grips and felt, well meh… Side by side shooting with my brother in law, the Ruger felt more like a real gun. The Ruger came with a discount coupon for ShopRuger. I went there and found that the Wrangler takes the same grips as the Vaquero! Picked up a beautiful set of laminated Rosewood Vaquero grips and put them on. WOW!!! It totally transformed the Wrangler. The Vaquero grips are WAAAY meatier than the stock plastic grips and the gun just fills up your hand now. I really enjoy the Wrangler now and can say that for the money, it’s a tremendous little shooter. Plinking with Aguila 40g ammo it is very consistent. And I have a number of boxes of CCI Velocitors that are my go to if I need a serious varmint pop around the farm. The Ruger just feels more substantial to me.
Too me - anyone who would pick the Heritage over the Wrangler must be very new to shooting or flat out doesn't know anything!!! I have been shooting Ruger's over 60 years and never had a bad one!! Sure the Heritage is cheaper but compared to the Ruger they are junk!!!!!!!
Some people only buy cheap guns, they won,t spend the money on a quality gun that won,t let you down. Have a 4.625 inch wrangler on burnt bronze. 300 rounds with no issues. Getting a 7.5 inch wrangler soon and expect the same results. Wish I could say the same for the heritage. The high point of the 22 market.
@@twolak1972 You are a wise and smart person because of your comment!! I took would like to buy a Wrangler with the 7/1/2 Barrell if I can ever find one
@@randysellheims6868 They're out there, my gin dealer had a standing order to grab the 1st burnt bronze 7.5 wrangler he found. Called yesterday and MADE MY WEEK.
Where do you live ??
Also how much??
I like the sleek look of the hrr and the rosewood grips
Was debating between the Wrangler and the Rough Rider and the Rough Rider I looked at felt poorly made. Glad I bought the Wrangler and glad this video backed up my decision!
I bought 2 heritage rough riders for Xmas last year and both of them only fire half the time. Buy a Ruger
I bought a wrangler last year, 500 rounds later, no issues, Saw a heritage in the gunshop, asked to see it, Held it for probably 10 seconds and put it back. Tag said 99 dollars , Easy to see why heritage charges so little. COMPLETE PIECE OF JUNK.
It's always by my side. Like right now..lol
My field gun
I've owned two heritage ruff ryders and one Ruger wrangler. I got both rough riders for $98 each on Christmas sales, and paid $200 for the Ruger at another Christmas sale. I ended up transferring both rough riders to my nephew's due to accuracy issues, one shot high left and the other shot high right so you always had to adjust where you would aim in order to roughly hit what you wanted to and that sort of drove me nuts.
I still have the Ruger Wrangler, but it shoots low and right, below the line of sight 😆.
I grew up learning to shoot a pistol with my father's 9 inch barreled Ruger single six three screw model.
It was DEAD NUTS accurate, and here in Colorado they are going for $900 used at gun shows. As a graduation present from college, my father bought me the same pistol but with a 6 and 1/2 inch barrel, and same thing......VERY accurate. These are going for around $700 at gun shows around here. Growing up, I saw my father shoot a ground squirrel off of a boulder at around 50 yards with his 9-inch single six. Sadly my father has passed away since then, and I've happily given both models of the single six's to my two sons and they love them!
I realize "you get what you pay for"..... But it still seems to me that if either of these factories would have takien the time to simply put a dowel into the barrel and rolled it on a table top find out the concentricity to the boar wich the bullet is coming out, they could have at least had a point of impact above the line of sight rather than below 😅the point of aim, not even letting you see the target you're shooting at because it's below the front site. I will probably go to a gun show and trade the Wrangler for something like a semi-automatic Browning buckmark with an adjustable rear sight. It's a shame because they are truly fun to look at and handle, clean and shoot......
I've been lucky with mine, great fun to shoot! I am leery of making my heritage my trail gun because the screws do like to shake loose
I bought the Rough Rider. It's a toy but the 22WMR option was the deciding choice.
.22 mags are about $23 a box if you can find them
.22wmr now down to about $16.00 a box...
I like the option of 22LR and/or 22 mag, but when the Heritage breaks (And it will in my experience) you won't have the option of either.
The main issue I've seen is when you fire with the Magnum cylinder, it loosens up the screws and you have to tighten them. Otherwise, so far and a few thousand rounds of both, that's been the only issue.... Save the initial QC problems with my first one
@@rifleman17hmrshooter
I bought two. Hammer spring broke on one, trigger spring broke on the other...within a month.
@@randymoyer7871 sometimes with all guns some a made better than others my heritage has shot around 1500 22lr and magums and like he said everytime i take it home to clean i have to tighten those screws but other than that its a solid gun not to mention i got it used for 50 bucks
I prefer the Heritage
Heritage Palmetto Arms revolvers the sights are just plopped on. Out of the box many shoot left of center. They just need to be trued with filing or slightly bending by error and trial.
Not a great fit and finish but $100 small recreation plinker is a fair value.
Very true
The ugly safety puts the Heritage in a poor 2nd place
Not a fan either but you get used to it
I haven't watched yet but Ruger wins immediately
To each their own
Every year that goes by I become a bigger fan of the 22 Winchester magnum I have carried one for over 20 years now. It is been such a great revolver cartridge for me.
I've handled both and out of the box the sights are much better on the Ruger Wrangler. The sights on the Heritage are just plain awful. IMO the wrangler also feels more solid in the hand.
Ruger way better
Ruger all day
With a name like Chevrolet ,I can see you buy junk
Lol...
I do like the fit and finish of the Ruger however
The heritage offers the option of 22 mag, many options on size and finish and grip choice and value. PSA regularly sells these for under $100 and it's a great pistol for 100 bucks. The only thing I really do not like is the safety on the heritage.
do you mean under $200? i've never seen em priced under $100, though i surely would like to! (i got mine as a gift, probably wouldn't have bought otherwise,, but now know that was a mistake,, a great little gun (with cheap feeling safety)
@@kirkethridge2500 I got 3 Heritage RRs at Bass Pro on sale + $30 rebate, less than $90 apiece today
These 22 single shot revolvers are great for introducing people to firearms. Put five empty 22 shells in and one live 22. Get the shooter to aim and pull the trigger without flinching. Then after a few practice pulls they get a live round. Always put the empty shells in or you will damage the firing pin and cylinder.
Heritage finish wears. On the Heritage the many openers find the threads in the front of the barrel that secure the ejection rod cover screw are not well machined and require loctite to hold the screw tight.
Heritage has a wide array of grips, barrel lengths, has the carbine, has a 9 shot option and has optional fiberoptic sights.
Heritage trigger is fairly light and consistent.
The aluminum will pit inside the frame around the forcing cone, but the gun will last thousands of rounds.
With the fiberoptic sights the heritage will reliably hit a golf ball at 15 yards.
I would have expected you to shoot better with the Heritage because you've had that one a long time. Personally I went with the Wrangler for my cheap plinker because I already had a Ruger GP100. They come in about 12 different colors and single six grips fit them. I got pearl for my silver wrangler. Ruger has listened to their customers and have just released a birdshead model. I expect to see different barrel lengths.
You keep bouncing the guns around and it's really distracting.pretty good review otherwise.
Good video. I have both pistols and I like my ruger the best. The heritage feels cheap!
FEELS, THEY'RE PURE JUNK.
Thanks!
Next to my Colt these are JUNK
Well yeah but that's definitely apples to oranges.
I ENJOYED YOUR VIDEO.......
........ *BUT* .......
I WISH YOU GUYS (THOSE WHO SHOOT ANY KIND OF PISTOL FOR ACCURACY) WOULD USE SOME KIND OF PISTOL REST (NOT A "RANSOM", BUT SOMETHING SIMPLE) OFF A TABLE, SO YOU COULD SIT DOWN, REST THE PISTOL AND FIRE - THUS IT WOULD BE A FAR BETTER REPRESENTATION OF WHAT THE PISTOL(S) WOULD REALLY DO.
ANY WAY, GOOD VIDEO AND NICE LIL OLE .22LR PISTOLS (I ENJOY .22s A WHOLE LOT MYSELF) - - - KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK - BRAVO!!!!!!!
:^)
Well I checked them out at Academy Sporting Goods - both under $200. I think I'm going to buy the Heritage to get that extra Magnum cylinder. Thanks for a great video.
Thanks for watching!
Picking up a heritage soon...
Figured they are cheap...pretty and go boom...
Plus i am going for the 9 shot with the two cylinders....
Very underrated guns..
I'm a fan
Standard Single-Six parts, and grips will fit the Wrangler...
Love my rough rider. Mag.
Same here
Having had both... And having had to order parts for one, I will take the Ruger all day.
And while neither are "traditional" SAAs revolvers, the safety on the Heritage is just... A turn off.
As far as customizing parts on a Ruger, any part for the Single Six, will work on the Wrangler.
I believe testing shows that the Ruger gets more velocity from the same ammo due to tighter tolerances. I do like the option of adjustable sights on the Heritage. So it's a mixed bag. Maybe a used Ruger Single Six would be a better choice than either of these. Thanks for sharing.
Check out the latest video! th-cam.com/video/LRTN-dtFVA4/w-d-xo.html
For the price of a decent used single six you could buy one of each and have money left over for a few bricks of ammo...
And the winner is.... The Diamondback Sidekick. Double action, two cylinders, no problems whatsoever
Check out the hi standard double nine, the grandfather of the diamond back!
th-cam.com/video/tQYm85hDvtk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=fc0AO8W-Bvhig2yI
I have a Heritage w a 6 1/2 Barrel and wood grips. Love how it shoots and how close to the Colt it is.
I'd say that one big difference between the paper targets and the metal ones was that the former were black, and harder to pick with the dark front sights, while the latter were white, and thus a much better contrast with the front sight.
That's why offhand shooting is completely useless in evaluating firearm accuracy.
Not useless but not as good as rested
The Heritage indexes perfect for loading and unloading like a Colt SAA. The wrangler you have to find it and align it.
Yeah that was a major issue I really didn't like and turned me off to the Wrangler
Better built: Wrangler
One I prefer: Rough Rider
YOU MUST LIKE OWNING JUNK THEN.
@@twolak1972
Brother, we’re talking about two cheap 22 single action revolvers here.
I don’t care enough about this topic to feel strongly about it either way.
But the rough rider comes in a 6.5” model and ignoring the ugly safety it’s a far better representation of an actual colt.
Hence why I prefer it.
@@AJ-gk7bn right just came out with a7.5 inch model. Getting ones soon.
At 6:30 you can't tell me it sounds like the cattleman from red dead redemption
I ADDED UP THE SCORE AND THE HERRY ACTUALLY WON THE ACURACY BY 2 POINTS OVERALL.
What song are you playing in the Background, I want to sample that sound,I would appreciate it I play that guitar ,hello my name is Ricardo Hernandez from New Mexico
All my own songs. Periodically I'll record a new one to add to the videos!
Rough Rider 22lr/22mag cylinder,yeah !
Ruger 22lr only,NO THANKS
I want to get the super Wrangler
Little light Dremel work will fix the tight loading
Good one.
Thanks!
the best self defence gun is whatever you have on hand. .
Very nice review - thank you!
I had an issue with the Heritage while shooting the .22 mag cylinder. After shooting a dozen rounds, the cylinder froze. I had to wait for it to cool down before I could even turn the cylinder. They use very poor metal. Never had issues like that with my Ruger's.
I also had screws loosening up on me
@@rifleman17hmrshooter Excellent review. I just subscribed and hit the bell for your channel. I'll have to go back and listen to your other video's.
Here is a video to consider if you plan to carry a Rough Rider while farming th-cam.com/video/Ws_Qn9aeUVA/w-d-xo.html
Mine requires tightening after firing magnums or after taking it in holster camping and such. Pretty annoying
What holster is that?
Great review
I got the Chiappa 1873 because it had two 10 round cylinders and I could not afford the Uberty 13 shot one!
Also, I take it he can't count to six?
My heritage has been a problem child since i baught it.
But my ruger wrangler has been perfect
I've dealt with loose screws
