Ruger was founded in 1949 and has grown to be one of the largest firearms brands in the world.
Ruger is most well known for their Ruger 10/22 rifles, bolt action rifles, and revolvers. They also created a number of cartridges bearing their name including the .416 Ruger, 300 RCM, and the 204 Ruger.
Recently Ruger acquired Marlin and will now be making the Marlin lever-action rifles. They will still be under the Marlin brand with Ruger being the parent company.
The Ruger Wrangler is only slightly smaller than the Ruger Single Six with an overall length of 10.25″.
For a .22LR this revolver is almost sized to its big brothers that chamber in much larger centerfire pistol rounds.
After just reviewing and shooting the Browning 1911-22 Black Label, which is only 85% the size of a normal 1911, it was nice to see a 22LR that was almost the same size as its larger counterparts.
She’s thick. The Wrangler clocks in at 30 ounces and in a world of smaller, lighter, and better this is a hoss!
Revolvers aren’t supposed to be light and small though. In fact, revolvers only seem to get better the larger the frame and longer the barrel.
It’s not as heavy as something like the Ruger Redhawk which is chambered in 44 Mag, but it’s good to feel gun nonetheless.
With its classic revolver grip, the Ruger Wrangler feels right at home in your hand. If you love a revolver you’ll definitely love this gun.
The grip panels are two synthetic grip panels attached with a single screw in the middle of the grip.
All three of these things are what make the .22LR round so great and such a fun round to shoot. The only downside is how much you’ll have to reload because you’ll want to shoot it so much.
.22LR is one of those rounds I wish I had movie-sized magazines where I could just shoot and shoot and shoot without having to stop to reload.
Like most revolvers, the Ruger Wrangler is a 6-shot cylinder revolver across the entire line of products.
The most common barrel length on the Wrangler is 4.62″.
Ruger has recently released a new model with a 3.75″ barrel and a bird’s head grip.
The grip is the most noticeable difference on the new Ruger model along with the near-inch shorter barrel.
It’s hard to beat the overall look and design of the Ruger Wrangler the Cerakote finish on this gun really polishes it off.
With its matte finish, you sometimes see some smudges easier but overall I’ve had no issues with the finish.
The look of the Wrangler is that of a true classic cowboy-style revolver and it really doesn’t disappoint as a plinking gun.
The revolver is made of an aluminum alloy and finished using Cerakote. The number of models is extensive due to the finish options.
In the 4.62″ barrel model, there are 11 different cerakote options available. Anything from black to “Crushed Orchid” colors is available but their availability may be spotty in the current environment.
The Wrangler is definitely one of my favorite 22 handguns in my collection and even makes the list of one of the best fun revolvers.
Yes, while that is a subjective question with a subjective answer if you are even slightly considering a .22LR revolver for plinking around this gun is absolutely worth it.
I think this gun is great for plinking and even for carrying around while riding horses, four-wheelers, or any outdoor activities where you could run up on small varmints.
This revolver is absolutely a better option than no gun at all in the above-mentioned situation.
The Wrangler is absolutely not a self-defense weapon nor should any rimfire firearm be your self-defense weapon.
Everyone has a different definition of “full size” but by Ruger’s standards, the Ruger Wrangler is a full-size revolver.
No, however, the Ruger Wrangler is a single-action revolver so if the hammer is not cocked it will not fire.
So the single-action nature of this pistol acts as a safety but there is no physical manual safety on the Ruger Wrangler.
Yes, the Ruger Wrangler can shoot 22 short rounds. The Wrangler is able to shoot low-power rounds like the 22 short because it does not use the gases generated by the round to cock the revolver.
