@@someguy325es From what I’ve seen they have been calling it a “steel alloy” cylinder frame and a zinc grip frame. Better than the regular wrangler I guess but a far cry from a real steel frame.
I was lucky enough to find a single six.. basically brand new last month...just no box at a pawn shop for 450$...the cylinders had no scratch marks from the lock up...but now they do cuz I been shooting it👍
Many years ago (2007) I went to a local shop and looked at both a single six and new at the time Mk 3 semi auto with the nearly 7” barrel and it was cheaper than the six. I love my auto lol. I learned on my dad’s single six and I have nothing against them except the price tag.
@@usa-rb5fi I heard that. After decades of admiring the Mark * series of pistols, but not to thrilled with how famously hard they were to take down for cleaning, I finally bought a new Mark IV this year, a 5.5" stainless, and it's a real joy to shoot. You probably already know this, but the single biggest improvement with the Mark IV is (at long last) very easy take down for cleaning.
Ruger did that with the 4 series to compete with the S&W Victory. I’ve never broke down my 3 to get every last internal, because I got a feeling it wouldn’t go back together lol. I clean it the best I can.
I can't believe this came up on my feed today! I pulled out my Ruger Wrangler TODAY and shot it ALOT! The whole time wishing there was a Magnum cylinder for it! AWESOME JOB RUGER!
I have a wrangler but I wanted a 22 magnum so I bought a Diamondback Sidekick and I love the fact it shoots both 22 LR and 22 Magnum and both cylinders hold 9 rounds and is single and double action. Hard too beat.
I don't know anything about Diamondback as a company, but I do know that Ruger has a strong track record for making quality firearms. Good luck with your nine rounds.
I had to return my Diamondback, 22 mags seizing in cylinder had to drive out with hammer. DB had no answer, not sure when they could resolve ongoing issue. Go with Ruger
@@WhiteCedar544 I found out that when the pistols were coated or colored the material that was used was also in the chambers od the cylinder. I took a 243 copper brush and worked in the chambers of the cylinder and it got rid of the problem. It must be a quality control problem.
My guess would be that they offer the Single Nine. They are substantially more expensive though. Nine rounds would be sweet, but it would also increase the price. I own a Single Nine in .22 Mag. It's one of my favorite firearms I own. That being said...I really want a Super Wrangler now too!
I saw some articles about this gun last week. I have the original Wrangler, but really like the idea of the adjustable sights and the extra cylinder. So I stopped by the local gun store and they told me they had two of them on order already. Picked it up yesterday. They charged me $289; I was hoping for the $260 range, but twenty-some dollars isn't that big of a deal to me.
@@johnc8805 I wouldn't be so quick to assume that this new wheelgun is inaccurate. It seems likely that a bit of adjustment with the sights would show what accuracy level it could actually achieve.
@@Gunners_Mate_Guns Hmmm - ok fair enough. I could see that being an issue. If he was doing an "out of the box" shoot, the sights certainly could be out of adjustment.
As far as looks, I like the original sights. But adjustable is definitely better. And I personally prefer. 22mag over lr. Lol guess it's time to upgrade!
Nice video, I have a Colt Frontier Scout (discontinued) that I got when my dad passed away and it came with a 22LR and 22Mag cylinders, fun to plink with and very accurate ........it is, I'm not ! Ha...
You sold me! I had a Diamonback 22/22WMR that was defective, and was returned. I was ready to "pull the trigger" on buying a heritage which I wasn't that excited about, and then I saw your video, SOLD. Watched video on Monday, found Super Wrangler locally on Tuesday, and I bought it. Lucky for me, dealer has range on site, so I put 72 Federal Champion mags and a dozen lr's down range and I love it. Solid feel and action, and the finish is amazing, especially considering the price, 279. Sights need a little tweaking, but that's to be expected. When you launch a round of a mag, you know you're shooting a real gun. It's loud and proud, and the fireball proves it. Thanks for the videos, you have my favorite firearm demos online, with Hitchcock right behind.
Picked my Super Wrangler up today, the silver one. Haven't shot it yet but front sights for the MKIV fit the gun, I put a Dawson Precision fiber optic on mine.
I also do love revolvers for many issues. The first one was teaching my son at an very young age. And it is therapeutic. You have to actually work for your happiness of firing weapons.
It actually amazed me that it seems you DON'T MISS with a .22lr at whatever distance, but with a .22mag, it's a bit tough. Anyway. Keep it up. Love you .22 content
@Harrison Lewis Heritage might have beat them in sales of single action rimfire revolvers but certainly not in quality. And Ruger doesn't have a stupid safety on their's like Heritage. Never did understand why someone would want a safety on a single action.
@@tubeonline629 The Heritage flexes it's cheapness by using a safety because they don't have a transfer bar mechanism like Ruger. One drop or hard bump with the hammer down on a loaded chamber and the safety off on a Heritage, it will go boom. I have the Wrangler and I picked up my Super Wrangler yesterday. I never could bring myself to buy the Heritage for the quality and safety reasons. So glad Ruger made the Super Wrangler.
Amen! I had a Heritage Arms for a short time…butt ugly with that safety. Glad I sent it down the road. Love my Wrangler…now may have to pick up the Super Wrangler as well.
@@capndanmartin Yes, they are a bit ugly but they work well. And being able to buy a .22mag cylinder online from Heritage for only $30-38 plus free shipping is a giant plus, at least to me.
I may be confused. You said the Super Wrangler has a steel cylinder, unlike the Wrangler, which has an aluminum cylinder. I think you mean cylinder FRAME, not cylinder. I think both revolvers have a steel cylinder. The Super Wrangler’s steel FRAME makes it strong enough to handle .22 Mag. Again, I may be wrong or confused so correct me if I am. I love your videos. They are always well done and never boringly long.
Im so happy to see this pistol come out with adjustable sights! Thanks to you I'm planning on taking my original Wrangler to the gun show and see what they'll give me in trade for this new one 👍. Like many other videos on youtube, my Wrangler shoots below the line of sight, so even at 12 yards I have to adjust by aiming above where are the bullet Bill actually strike....... All this time I've been dreaming of adjustable sights on this otherwise really nicely made pistol 👍
I have two Single Six, one original (pre transfer bar) and one modern (20 years old), they are so much fun, and I’m sure these are too. Thanks for the video, be well and God bless.
About time Ruger, thanks for letting us know it's out there, could be my next purchase. Just wish they would have made it single/double action, but I guess I could get used to pulling hammer back every time.
I have two original Wranglers, they both have steel cylinders. As a matter of fact everything but the grip frame and grips are steel. Put a magnet on yours.
Yea 22WMR pistol for self defense is interesting. Even if the round don’t stop an attacker your also setting his cloths on fire with the flame and unburnt powder that follows that rifle round out of the barrel and also making him def because its louder even than a 9mm😂
ppl are so stupid with the unburnt powder thing. i have a 22 mag naa mini and it works great out of 1" barrel. much more velocity than 22lr out of same barrel. how much more this with like 6 inches
@@cryengine_x Easy there chief. Im not clear what your on about but I was not attempting to make a merit judgment on the use of 22WMR for personal defense. I was just making comedy about the fact that the 22WMR does in fact produce a big flame front when shot from a pistol because it was and is designed for rifle length barrels. It is also crazy load for the same reasons. Obviously non of these things detract from or prevent its use in a a pistol. I don’t think anyone would argue that it hits harder than 22lr and on that note I will add that anything is better than nothing. Enjoy your 22WMR pistol by all means just wear hearing protection and don’t set anything on fire.
@@mrsmith8436 I've got that goofy (but awesome!) Switch revolver in 22 WMR. The manufacturer lists the barrel at .75 inches. I decided to shoot it at night just to see what the fuss was about with the fireball. Felt like someone had tossed a flash bang at me.
@ricardorodriguez5549 I've got a stainless Ruger Single Six and a Heritage Rough Rider. There is definitely a lot better craftsman and higher quality material in the Ruger. For the money, though, the Rough Rider is sufficient.
I love my RUGER Single Sic with the .22 magnum cylinder. Built in 1983 the trigger is VERY light, maybe 1 1/2 pounds. And with .22 magnum ammo it is pretty loud. But it does shoot well with those excellent RUGER adjustable sights. It is a very well made "shooting' iron", and yes, you can fan the hammer for rapid fire but it's hard on the innards of the pistol.
When I wanted to get a .22 single action revolver I really wanted that swappable cylinder and the Wrangler didn't offer it so I went with the Heritage Rough Rider. I paid about $200 if my memory serves me right. I've had several issues with it, less than 250 rounds in I had to ship it back for repairs because the hammer won't stay back, or if it did, a literal scrap of paper was enough pressure to pull the trigger. They repaired it at no charge, but it kinda soured my opinion of the gun. Don't get me wrong, it's still a blast to shoot, but the fact it needed repairs that quickly raised my concern about their "quality control". I wish this had been available at that time. I always liked the look of the Ruger Wrangler better than the Heritage Rough Rider. Plus I like Ruger revolvers. I inherited a Security Six in .357 mag that is my Favorite revolver I've ever shot!!!
One correction. The cylinder in the Wrangler is solid steel. It has always been solid steel. Not steel inserts or sleeves but solid steel. Magnet test and double checked the specs on the website for the Wrangler.
Ruger's website says for the original Wrangler is "Aluminum Alloy". Plus, that's what their engineers told me on the phone the day before making this video.
The cylinder frame is an aluminum alloy. But I know with certainly the cylinder is steel. The current specs do not show the cylinder material. And I am certain the specs did at one time show the cylinder as steel. A fantastic as always video Plinkster
@@22plinkster the barrel bore diameter is not the proper size to shoot .22 MAGNUM ammunition accurately in the Ruger Single 6 rimfire revolver for use with .22 MAGNUM conversion cylinder, because the bore diameter is .219" inches. To shoot .22 MAGNUM rimfire ammunition accurately the bore diameter must be .223" inches !
The LR cases will split very often in a magnum chamber, too... the difference is the Super Single Six is a steel frame, as well. Cheaper material, and Finish, probably cut on the same CNC tooling. IT WORKS, at half the price. Love it. Now, for a birds-head Sheriff model w/adj. Sights! 😅
Marlin should bring back the 39A as the long gun sister companion to this new Wrangler...Obviously, it would interrupt Ruger's big bore lever action fetish...but if they kept the price humane,, it would be a great add-on sale..
That would be great, but I very much doubt Ruger can make the 39A and make it affordable. Besides, their 10/22 is a real good seller for them, and there are tons of accessories available. I have a Marlin 39A and love that gun, & also have a Marlin 56 which is in some ways even better; but those guns were made when actual gunsmiths worked on the fitting. Nowadays most guns are made by machines from start to finish, and there isn't much hand fitting.
Get a diamondback sidekick. Under $300, shoots 22 mag or 22lr plus its da/sa, not to mention it holds 9 rounds. I've shot 1000+ through mine and love it.
I had a Wrangler when they first came out but didn’t hang onto it for very long. When I saw they came out with the Super Wrangler I had to get one. I picked up one of the burnt bronze ones today. I’ve got a lot of 22 magnum ammo but didn’t have anything chambered for it yet.
I do own a Ruger Wrangler with the Birds-head custom grips and it’s a really fun gun for plinking. Who wouldn’t want a Ruger 22lr or magnum to carry in the woods.
Damn, been eyeing a single action 22... bouncing back and forth between a ruger or a heritage was leaning to the heritage as i could get adjustable sights but now.... that silver is a good lookin gun.
@@harrisonlewis6853 Correct, the heritage was the only option for a convertible with adjustable sights. But now, the super wrangler is on the block and damn shes lookin good
Get the Heritage, I traded off two Wranglers, poor triggers, no cylinder indexing. Poor accuracy from Wrangler gets out shot by Heritage everytime.....Come on Ruger you can do better! Look how poor the 10/22 has become...
Really wish they made something like this but with a swing out cylinder. I don't want to have to buy the Sidekick, but everything else is much more expensive
Every one pay attention, this is the future of self defense firearms, once you prove to government you deserve to own one. In your lifetime folks. Thanks voters !
just in case there's confusion, the Case Diameter of a 22 LR is slightly Smaller than 22 Magnum. it cause damage to the entery point of the Barrel (the bullet is slighly out of parallel with the Barrel)
$269 I paid and the regular wrangler I paid the same for a few years back are now $209 on average. First pistol or rifle I’ve seen that has dropped in average retail price over the years.
I think you must have a Super Six. The Super Wrangler is new, not really widely available on the market yet. The Super Six costs a LOT more than the Super Wrangler, since the Super Six is all steel versus using aluminum allow for portions of the frame.
I have a Single-Six Convertible and a standard Wrangler. Love them both. Considering the Wrangler is a budget version of the Single-Six, I’d love a Wrangler version of the Bearcat.
I checked one of these out today at the local Rural King. They were on sale but only had one left. I was ready to buy it until I educated the salesperson to the fact that the receiver was made of steel alloy. He had to test it out busy putting a magnet on the receiver. It sure enough was steel. Unfortunately, when he took the magnet off, finish had some scratches on it. Needless to say, I passed on it. That being said, I am not sold on the durability of those finishes. I am a little OCD about my guns, and I don't think the Wrangler finishe would hold up over time. I think it would be hard to touch up as well..
Shooting the same grain bullets in both 22LR and 22WMR you won't see much difference in bullet velocity between the two. Due to the shorter barrel on the Super Wrangler. You will see more muzzle flash with the 22WMR. Which is wasted gunpowder.
Why not make it 8, 9 or 10 shot while they're at it? With a swing out cylinder I don't mind 6 shots but ejecting them one at a time through the loading gate with the ejection rod then reloading gets old in a hurry.
It’s about time they at least have something in 22 mag. I still think heritage still has a alot going for it with barrel lengths. I am picking up a barkeep for squirrel hunting for a good challenge. And a kit gun. As someone who owns both you can’t go wrong no matter what your preferences are.
Hey plinkster you mentioned .22 for edc. and some people concerned about its reliability for edc From my own experience the reliabilty concerns are justified here is my incident last year i bought a holster for my heritage and decided to carry because its lighter and slimmer than my beretta 92fs well i carried the rough rider for 6 months apprx. with the same five bullets in it the day came that i needed to draw and fire on some dogs (pitbulls) harrassing my dads chickens 4 of the five shots simply didnt go off the fifth shot fired and exited the barrel but sounded very weak and under powered now during the six months i carried the rough rider it got bumped and jostled a round just as any gun will when be carried as an edc gun i attributed the 4 failures to fire to the the primer material being knocked out of the rim of the case after this incident occured i vowed that i would never carry .22 rimfire for edc. ever again it should be noted the the dogs didnt harm the chickens the squibbish load was enough to frighten the dogs off then after speaking to the dogs owner and telling him that his dog had attempted to kill my dads chickens and that i had attempted unsucessfully to shoot them the owner now only lets the dogs out supervised and i dont have a problem anymore
@@TightwadTodd Thank you, that actually looks pretty neat. 100% just looking for a little fun plinker to bring in the woods. So that pretty much fits what I need for a much lower price. I just wonder if can get one brought in. Selection here is tight sometimes.
Ruger's swing out cylinder 22s are an 8 shot sp101 and a 10 shot GP100. They will set you back about 900 but they gorgeous guns. I want a single ten myself.
Is there a reason they only make the cylinders in 6 round capacities? Surely you could safely have at least 7-8…I mean my grandads old high standard has a 9 round .22lr cylinder.
After having one then buying the heritage I like the heritage better . I don't like the safety but it looks better than the Ruger if u like a traditional look and it has both cylinders
I still like the Rough Rider w/ a 22 mag cylinder for trapping. They're so cheap I don't care about abusing em or throwing em in the back of a dirty mule. If the Super Wrangler came with a 22 mag cylinder only, had fixed sights, and was a little bit cheaper I'd be interested.
ruger wrangler is the same concept but with much better fit and finish and quality control, for just a little more money. no contest ruger wins for a truck or tackle box gun

Now I'm glad I got my brand new Single Six for $125 at Walmart! (45 years ago, that is)
.22 Mag is my favorite cartridge period. No idea why, just fell in love with it.
@MassCityMadman Good enough logic to justify a gun purchase as far as I'm concerned! 🤣
You sound like a practical person. It really is one of the best all around round.
Variety is the spice of life they say.
It makes a fantastic noise when fired
The cylinder on the regular wrangler is not aluminum, it is steel. The frame was aluminum
The frame is still aluminum
Have you stuck a magnet to one? Ruger says they are steel frame.

That was a sweet deal.
The Single Six is a true American classic.
Many years ago (2007) I went to a local shop and looked at both a single six and new at the time Mk 3 semi auto with the nearly 7” barrel and it was cheaper than the six. I love my auto lol. I learned on my dad’s single six and I have nothing against them except the price tag.
@@usa-rb5fi I heard that.
After decades of admiring the Mark * series of pistols, but not to thrilled with how famously hard they were to take down for cleaning, I finally bought a new Mark IV this year, a 5.5" stainless, and it's a real joy to shoot.
You probably already know this, but the single biggest improvement with the Mark IV is (at long last) very easy take down for cleaning.
Ruger did that with the 4 series to compete with the S&W Victory. I’ve never broke down my 3 to get every last internal, because I got a feeling it wouldn’t go back together lol. I clean it the best I can.

Don’t forget the Single TEN!
They really screwed up by making the 22 mag lcr with six round capacity. And expensive.
Some people just want six-shot revolvers.

When I wanted to get a .22 single action revolver I really wanted that swappable cylinder and the Wrangler didn't offer it so I went with the Heritage Rough Rider. I paid about $200 if my memory serves me right. I've had several issues with it, less than 250 rounds in I had to ship it back for repairs because the hammer won't stay back, or if it did, a literal scrap of paper was enough pressure to pull the trigger. They repaired it at no charge, but it kinda soured my opinion of the gun. Don't get me wrong, it's still a blast to shoot, but the fact it needed repairs that quickly raised my concern about their "quality control". I wish this had been available at that time. I always liked the look of the Ruger Wrangler better than the Heritage Rough Rider. Plus I like Ruger revolvers. I inherited a Security Six in .357 mag that is my Favorite revolver I've ever shot!!!
I just picked one up for close to Plinkster's price, it was 269.00 pre tax. It feels beefier; along the lines of a Single Six.
One correction. The cylinder in the Wrangler is solid steel. It has always been solid steel. Not steel inserts or sleeves but solid steel. Magnet test and double checked the specs on the website for the Wrangler.
Ruger's website says for the original Wrangler is "Aluminum Alloy". Plus, that's what their engineers told me on the phone the day before making this video.
The cylinder frame is an aluminum alloy. But I know with certainly the cylinder is steel. The current specs do not show the cylinder material. And I am certain the specs did at one time show the cylinder as steel.
A fantastic as always video Plinkster
@@22plinkster the barrel bore diameter is not the proper size to shoot .22 MAGNUM ammunition accurately in the Ruger Single 6 rimfire revolver for use with .22 MAGNUM conversion cylinder, because the bore diameter is .219" inches. To shoot .22 MAGNUM rimfire ammunition accurately the bore diameter must be .223" inches !
Being old and unable to use iron sights I will take one with a pic rail. I know it`s not nostalgic but I can`t focus close and far at the same time.
Heritage has the Tactical Cowboy! A .22 revolver with a pic rail on top! $169.00
@@dandarling5990 I should grab one of those.
I like the Diamonback Sidekick for a couple of reasons: 1) 9 round capacity in both LR and WMR and 2) SA/DA.
That sounds like they copied the old High standard double 9.
The LR cases will split very often in a magnum chamber, too... the difference is the Super Single Six is a steel frame, as well. Cheaper material, and Finish, probably cut on the same CNC tooling. IT WORKS, at half the price. Love it. Now, for a birds-head Sheriff model w/adj. Sights! 😅
Marlin should bring back the 39A as the long gun sister companion to this new Wrangler...Obviously, it would interrupt Ruger's big bore lever action fetish...but if they kept the price humane,, it would be a great add-on sale..
That would be great, but I very much doubt Ruger can make the 39A and make it affordable. Besides, their 10/22 is a real good seller for them, and there are tons of accessories available. I have a Marlin 39A and love that gun, & also have a Marlin 56 which is in some ways even better; but those guns were made when actual gunsmiths worked on the fitting. Nowadays most guns are made by machines from start to finish, and there isn't much hand fitting.
Make the price on the 39A humane have you seen the price on the new lever actions Rotfl
Get a diamondback sidekick. Under $300, shoots 22 mag or 22lr plus its da/sa, not to mention it holds 9 rounds. I've shot 1000+ through mine and love it.
Wow a 22 magnum revolver. What will they think of next?
My origional ruger thats at least 50 years old 22 has the 22lr and 22 mag cylinders. i love it.
The 22 LR cylinder can chamber and shoot 22 Short, 22 Long and 22 Rimfire shot shell.
REMEMBER that a .22 MAGNUM gun must have a barrel with a least a 6" inch barrel length to be effective in velocity 💥
I had a Wrangler when they first came out but didn’t hang onto it for very long. When I saw they came out with the Super Wrangler I had to get one. I picked up one of the burnt bronze ones today. I’ve got a lot of 22 magnum ammo but didn’t have anything chambered for it yet.
If l ever see one l will buy it
I do own a Ruger Wrangler with the Birds-head custom grips and it’s a really fun gun for plinking.
Who wouldn’t want a Ruger 22lr or magnum to carry in the woods.
Definitely my next pistol!!!
The cylinder on the standard Ruger Wrangler is steel, just like the barrel. The FRAME is aluminum alloy, though.
Damn well maybe that's why I haven't picked up one yet I was waiting for this to come out so awesome
WMR = Weapon of Mass Report
P.S. love your channel!
Damn, been eyeing a single action 22... bouncing back and forth between a ruger or a heritage was leaning to the heritage as i could get adjustable sights but now.... that silver is a good lookin gun.
Heritage does have a 6/9 shot revolver with adjustable target sights in a 9" barrel. Have had for more than a year now.
@@harrisonlewis6853 Correct, the heritage was the only option for a convertible with adjustable sights. But now, the super wrangler is on the block and damn shes lookin good
Get the Heritage, I traded off two Wranglers, poor triggers, no cylinder indexing. Poor accuracy from Wrangler gets out shot by Heritage everytime.....Come on Ruger you can do better! Look how poor the 10/22 has become...
Really wish they made something like this but with a swing out cylinder. I don't want to have to buy the Sidekick, but everything else is much more expensive
one day he'll be able to custom build his own dream gun, at least that's one of the many things I would want for everyone
Every one pay attention, this is the future of self defense firearms, once you prove to government you deserve to own one. In your lifetime folks.
Thanks voters !
just in case there's confusion, the Case Diameter of a 22 LR is slightly Smaller than 22 Magnum. it cause damage to the entery point of the Barrel (the bullet is slighly out of parallel with the Barrel)
I have a Ruger Single Six bought about 10 years ago. It has two cylinders. LR and Magnum.
I definitely want to get one of these!
$269 I paid and the regular wrangler I paid the same for a few years back are now $209 on average. First pistol or rifle I’ve seen that has dropped in average retail price over the years.
I've had one since the 70s...yes it has a magnum cylinder...
I think you must have a Super Six. The Super Wrangler is new, not really widely available on the market yet. The Super Six costs a LOT more than the Super Wrangler, since the Super Six is all steel versus using aluminum allow for portions of the frame.
I have a Single-Six Convertible and a standard Wrangler. Love them both. Considering the Wrangler is a budget version of the Single-Six, I’d love a Wrangler version of the Bearcat.
My fav .22 WMR revolver is the Ruger LCRX 3 inch barrel. Have the dual cylinder Heritage too. Nice shooter. All the best. "The JJ" SW Penna.
I checked one of these out today at the local Rural King. They were on sale but only had one left. I was ready to buy it until I educated the salesperson to the fact that the receiver was made of steel alloy. He had to test it out busy putting a magnet on the receiver. It sure enough was steel. Unfortunately, when he took the magnet off, finish had some scratches on it. Needless to say, I passed on it. That being said, I am not sold on the durability of those finishes. I am a little OCD about my guns, and I don't think the Wrangler finishe would hold up over time. I think it would be hard to touch up as well..
Shooting the same grain bullets in both 22LR and 22WMR you won't see much difference in bullet velocity between the two. Due to the shorter barrel on the Super Wrangler. You will see more muzzle flash with the 22WMR. Which is wasted gunpowder.
Why not make it 8, 9 or 10 shot while they're at it? With a swing out cylinder I don't mind 6 shots but ejecting them one at a time through the loading gate with the ejection rod then reloading gets old in a hurry.
Great inexpensive gun to keep in a return to home bag in my Wrangler.
Love Ruger SA revolvers. I have .357 Vaquero, .357 Blackhawk and a Single-Six Convertible. Will have to pick up a Super Wrangler 😊😊😊
And this is why I've been waiting to pick one up.
I do hope they can offer it with birds head grip at some point. They just fit my hands better. River is in my safe and we like them. A LOT
Good survival gun.
"Rugler" is a shotgun wedding between Ruger and Luger. 10:08
It’s about time they at least have something in 22 mag. I still think heritage still has a alot going for it with barrel lengths. I am picking up a barkeep for squirrel hunting for a good challenge. And a kit gun. As someone who owns both you can’t go wrong no matter what your preferences are.
At last, long anticipated review
All i can say is i want one
My old eyes need that ramped up front sight.
Hey plinkster you mentioned .22 for edc. and some people concerned about its reliability for edc From my own experience the reliabilty concerns are justified here is my incident
last year i bought a holster for my heritage and decided to carry because its lighter and slimmer than my beretta 92fs well i carried the rough rider for 6 months apprx. with the same five bullets in it the day came that i needed to draw and fire on some dogs (pitbulls) harrassing my dads chickens 4 of the five shots simply didnt go off the fifth shot fired and exited the barrel but sounded very weak and under powered
now during the six months i carried the rough rider it got bumped and jostled a round just as any gun will when be carried as an edc gun
i attributed the 4 failures to fire to the the primer material being knocked out of the rim of the case after this incident occured i vowed that i would never carry .22 rimfire for edc. ever again it should be noted the the dogs didnt harm the chickens the squibbish load was enough to frighten the dogs off then after speaking to the dogs owner and telling him that his dog had attempted to kill my dads chickens and that i had attempted unsucessfully to shoot them the owner now only lets the dogs out supervised and i dont have a problem anymore
I just paid $270 for my Wrangler about a month ago. It was a Black Cherry, which are a little more expensive.
they will be 500 before long watch. thx biden.
@@cryengine_x no kidding.
I want one of those black cherry ones.
Steel,frame,dommie
If they sold a black one with a bronze cerakote grip frame and wood grips it would have a nice classic look.
Don't all Heritage Rough Rider Revolvers have blued steel cylinders and barrels? And have so since day #1?
Mine has a cylinder for .22 lr and .22wm I just got it today, it’s pretty dope
I love it.... can't leave the range on a "vegetation shot"....lol. Great video ., Plinkster!!!! Happy Shootin'.....🤠
Now Ruger needs to make a revolver in 22 Hornet.
I have a Ruger Single-Ten and wanted a .22 revolver that has a swing out cylinder, vs the single load. $900 for a .22lr revolver? Jeez!
Look at the Diamond Back Side kick.
@@TightwadTodd Thank you, that actually looks pretty neat. 100% just looking for a little fun plinker to bring in the woods. So that pretty much fits what I need for a much lower price. I just wonder if can get one brought in. Selection here is tight sometimes.
@@toxicmatrix1337 The DB, is a cheaper Reproduction of the old High Standard.
@@TightwadTodd Cant get them in my state. WTF... LOL
Ruger's swing out cylinder 22s are an 8 shot sp101 and a 10 shot GP100. They will set you back about 900 but they gorgeous guns. I want a single ten myself.
Looks like ruger decided to make a cheaper single six
Yes, several years ago.
Again
Which I don't hate. I've always wanted a single six but damn, they're expensive for what it is.
Excellent review. I see no negatives
I have a 50th anniversary single six. My brother has the one with 1 larger serial number. So, we own a matched pair, basically.
I’ve got a heritage 9 shot with both .22lr and .22 WMR cylinders. Looks like I need to purchase another firearm.
Is there a reason they only make the cylinders in 6 round capacities? Surely you could safely have at least 7-8…I mean my grandads old high standard has a 9 round .22lr cylinder.
Heritage has had this out for years
After having one then buying the heritage I like the heritage better . I don't like the safety but it looks better than the Ruger if u like a traditional look and it has both cylinders
i just got the Ruger super Wrangler last week for $285 taxes included
Colt as usual on the sidelines. Believe the Super Wrangler has a steel frame. Ruger should offer it with 4 5/8 barrel
Recently had the stupid urge to sell my stainless Single Six in 22lr/22mag. What the hell was I thinking?
I still like the Rough Rider w/ a 22 mag cylinder for trapping. They're so cheap I don't care about abusing em or throwing em in the back of a dirty mule. If the Super Wrangler came with a 22 mag cylinder only, had fixed sights, and was a little bit cheaper I'd be interested.
ruger wrangler is the same concept but with much better fit and finish and quality control, for just a little more money. no contest ruger wins for a truck or tackle box gun
@@cryengine_x Ruger does not have a better fit and finish. The heritage does. Blued with wood grips is better than anything the Wrangler has to offer.
@@mikeofmanymikes2630 fit and finish on Taurus is terrible. the Taurus has those big ugly screws. also the tuarus is notorious for those cheap springs
@@cryengine_x big ugly screws? lol that's the best you got? Let me guess, the safety looks really ugly as well? lol
@@mikeofmanymikes2630 well, it does lol. thats a real problem. where they write the logo is crude lettering too vs the ruger, check it out.
Can you buy and use the 22 mag cylinder and use it in the normal wrangler?
No
They need to make a mini Rangler like the Bearcat and mabyge a Rangler 32 mag.
