- The new Ruger Super Wrangler 22 LR Single Action Revolver is a big upgrade over the original Wrangler but the 22 WMR cylinder really takes it up a notch. Adjustable sights and priced right!
Thanks to Ruger for providing the Super Wrangler for the review.

This should have been the wrangler since the start
They didn’t have the technology back, then to mass produce cintered metal in the way they do now
Absolutely not! I'm grateful for both!
@@Knightcowboy89 absolutely I would take the single six any day over the wrangler But at $199 you can’t beat the wrangler I have the burnt bronze, the silver, the gunmetal gray, and the black one 😆😆
@@THEMOWERMEDIC1 hooray for diversity! 🤣🤣
Still needs the indexing clicks when loading/unloading.
Two things so people don't have to look all over. The transfer bar works just the opposite of what Sootch describes and no the mag cylinder will not work in the original Wrangler. Love your channel Sootch!
Yep! The transfer bar remains up IF the trigger is pulled TRANSFERING (hence transfer bar) impact to the firing pin from the hammer. If the trigger is not pulled the transfer bar drops as the hammer comes forward and the top protrusion of the hammer strikes the frame without striking the firing pin.
Thanks for knowing the mag cylinder doesn't work on the original that I just purchased today. O well just gives me an excuse to by the new one.😊
@@jimmyrobertson9563 The original is still a great gun and you can't have too many fun guns!
Also worth noting that the original Wrangler has an alloy aluminum frame. The Super Wrangler has a steel frame. You probably still shouldn't dry fire it, either.
First gun I ever owned was a Ruger new model single-six convertible for my 16th birthday. Still have it to this day. Love that gun. Taken it hunting many times and put quite a bit of food on the table with it.
We have carried Ruger Wrangers on our homestead for the past year, replacing Heritage Arms. I had been considering doing a review on our channel explaining why we went with the Wrangler. Our only hesitation was going down from the 22 mag to 22 lr. Glad to see Ruger has added a 22 mag version to the affordable Wranger line. Looks like it is time for an upgrade. Thank you for the review.
Nice with the transfer bar as opposed to that awkward safety on the HRR
I know a lot of people have been wanting a 22 Mag cylinder for the Wrangler. I didn't think they would come out with one since they already have the Single Six convertible. I definitely didn't expect it to have adjustable sights. Glad to see this model come out, but I really wish it had that positive click when rotating the cylinder to eject spent casings.
The Super Wranglers are up to like 600$ on gunbroker geesh. I just want the 22mag cylinder
The indexing really helps when unloading or loading. I get this isn't really designed for hunting or self defense, there are better choices for that. It just makes it a lot quicker when you feel it click.
@@knunn5171 In the real world at the FFL I work for it’s under 3 Benjamin’s.
It's a.22 so why just 6 rounds???
@nelsondejesus7846 how many rounds you expect in a revolver ?
Ok, I was cruzing right along and almost passed right by the intro until I spotted the adjustable sights. Whoa, Nelly! Had to back up and watch the video. A 22 mag with adjustable sights? Sold! Thanks Sootch for keeping me broke and God save the Republic!
Wow! Just $60 more than the original Wrangler and you get an extra cylinder and adjustable sights. That is an incredible deal. As for the grips on the New Model Single Six Convertible, they are basically the same as on the Wrangler, so no upgrade there. The rosewood grips are $37.95. Not a big deal. Thanks for the review. Great job as always.
Also a steel frame too.
Same size grip as single six... interchangeable
And yet a heritage for 60dollars less and it also takes dual cylinders.
@@daltongarrett7117 Well, I guess you get what you pay for. Frankly, I really dislike the manual safety on the Rough Rider, or any revolver. I also want a .22 revolver to match, as much as practicable, my .44 Mag revolvers. I hunt with revolvers. For single action I like the Ruger New Model Super Blackhawk. The original Wrangler does not do it for me. This one has adjustable sights and is a bit heftier. In addition, the grips are the same. For double actinon I like the S&W 629 Classic. With that I can pair the 610. Very similar feel and weight. The extra cylinder is not important to me at all, but it might be fun to try out.
The new Diamond Back .22is much more revolver. Puts Ruger Wrangler to shame.
It's nice to see that there's no bogus, out of place safety switches on this pistol.
Heritage Rough Riders only have them because they're not drop safe. The Wranglers are.
That's because heritage rough riders actually use the original colt mechanism with the 4 clicks. The safety there is to make them drop safe as the original colt revolvers are not. Ruger went a different direction and put a transfer bar in their cowboy revolvers to avoid liability because back in the day Ruger was getting sued left and right. The transfer bar and no safety is not better in my opinion. A transfer bar effects the trigger pull too.
@@timd729 the big bore heritage rough riders use a transfer bar similar to Rugers
@@MonsterHunter267 I didn't know this. Makes sense seeing as they want it to be as drop safe as possible. I have 3 heritage rough riders, one is the long barrel version. I like the 4 clicks for such a cheap pistol. Loading and unloading it feels pretty good.
Ruger should make a different version with the original 4 clicks, and a more old school finish. I'd buy it.
I'm going to design and sell a SAA that clicks 9 or 10 times when I pull the hammer. It's sure to end Colt sales once and for all. It's going to sound like a mean rattlesnake every time you cock the hammer.
It took quite a while for Ruger to realize why Heritage was cleaning their clock in the cheap single action .22 market...and this is a big improvement, although one more item would have sealed the deal, an indexing cylinder for loading/unloading...small potatoes, but enough will fill a bag...
Yep,, wander what Heritage will do now to counter. Double action??
@@pdoutdoors7272 I have no idea...so far Heritage has been happy to run out assorted models with different barrel lengths, grips, scrolling, etc. ...double action would be a whole new ballgame, and they might be content with sticking with what they got, maybe improve tolerances in manufacturing...the example might be like Hi Point, who basically has one design and sticks to it...Ruger has a fair number of designs, and most are pretty decent, but it does spread them a little thin...both companies see the Diamondback as a potential competitor, but that design, with all its bells and whistles, really gets away from the simplicity of a single action...people always say add this, add that, and I'll buy one, even as the original gun morphs into something it wasn't designed to be...I'm looking for a single shot shotgun, and don't want to turn it into a Mossberg 88, inasmuch I could buy the Mossberg to begin with...
@@JohnPublic-dk7zd heritage is Taurus. Double action is already in their repertoire.
@@daltongarrett7117 what happened to the big bore that heritage was making?!
@@samielamri6044 I believe they discontinued them.
Nice! I’ve been eyeing a Wrangler for my son who likes to shoot the Ruger 10/22 rifle. This looks like something we would really enjoy.
Single action great for teaching patience and precise marksmanship.
DANG I really want one of these! I have my grandfather’s “Revolution” 9-shot .22 LR revolver that he ordered from the local auto parts store back in the 1970s. It’s a great pistol.
Want to sell it
@@patcoder7308 Me too! WAs that the H & R with the sites for rabbit heads at twenty yards.
9 shot. Sounds like an H&R.
Just got a regular wrangler a few days ago. We’ve been having a lot fun since.
This is the one they should've introduced from the start! Now I'm interested again.
I used to own a Super Single Six in stainless years ago. I loved that gun but I was forced to sell it. With their current prices I doubt I could ever be able to afford to replace it.
Now I might be able to afford the new Wrangler.
My son and I were wondering if they would ever do a magnum right after coming out with the original Wrangler. I didn't think Ruger would ever do this as it would impact sales of the single six. However I don't think the single six sells like it used to and it is getting expensive. Maybe they figured the Super would be a better seller and I bet it will. They could make it up with way more sales. Can't wait for a 4 5/8" with birdshead grip. Ruger single actions have always been up at the top of my list.
They so easily could have made it an eight-shot cylinder, at least on the long rifle for sure. Such a bummer but still nice improvements like sights and dual caliber
My single six is from the 70s and has dual caliber. The only recent improvements is the materials used to make it.
&michael keselman the timing would be off between the calibers if they did that.
I agree, they should have made both in a 9 shot cylinder, but both cylinders would have to hold the same amount so the timing would work for both cylinders
Heritage Rough Rider has a 9 rounder with adjustable fiber sights for windage and elevation. Mine cost $175 with both cylinders in 2019. I shot it a few times but it wasn't until last week that I actually took the time to zero it for a 4 inch target at 20 yards. The gun is now in my emergency go bag.
@@RevGunn-jq3cq Those are seemingly hard to find. I remember looking and calling everywhere to get one for my dad years back, and no one had ever seen or heard of them at that point.
I've owned a Colt New Frontier for over 45 years, and still love it. Fantastic memories of running the hills of Indiana as boys, shooting in the woods, climbing the huge old pine trees by the rubbish pile up in the woods, and sniping rats all day. Uncountable bricks of Federal Lightning and Remington Thunderbolts through them. Load them odd-even to laugh about first comes lightning then comes thunder. Hilarious for 14-year-olds. Can you hit a can at 200 yards? Sure, with Kentucky windage and enough rounds. Then the rare magnum cylinder and feeling powerful as giants that we were shooting things that made large fireballs without our parents having to be around. Or the 'country magnum,' taking a thunderbolt or lighting, loading it just enough to get the bullet in the cylinder, and then turning the case hard to the side to strip the bullet out of the case. Do a second one, add all the powder to one case and then load the round like an artillery shell, round first, then powder. Safe? Nah. Did we know? Nah. Did we have fun? Yeah.
I’m glad to see this in 22mag, with the 22lr cylinder and adjustable sights. I love my original wrangler, after installing wood grips. I have no doubt I will love this one, as well. Thank you for a great review!
I grew up shooting the single six and loved it. Eventually got a Ruger Redhawk .44 mag and love it. This wrangler seems like the whole package at a decent price. I'm definitely interested in picking one up.
I bought one of the first Wranglers about a month after they came out (The first one I found) and now, they came out with longer barrel versions and now this. So tempted to get more Wranglers.
You definitely should!! I bought the original wrangler back in 2021. It's the all black model. Then I bought the burnt bronze birdshead model. The the local gun shop called me when they got the super wrangler. Out the door it was $278. Not bad at all. It's the silver model. Absolutely love all 3 of them. Don't regret buying all 3 of them. Great for plinking.
Awesome! Have been waiting for an upgraded Wrangler with adjustable sights and 22 Mag. Know what my boys are getting for Christmas!
I had an original Wrangler. I liked it, but didn't love it. I always wished it was this. I guess I'll have to buy one of these.
The Diamondback Sidekick is also great if you can find one. Same price, 9 round cylinders (LR & Magnum) and also SA/DA.
As an ex-LEO back in the early 80s, I carried a Ruger Speed Six, stainless with a 3" Bull Barrel and Pachmayer grips, and a semi-auto centerfire pistol as back-up, In 1983, I bought a Ruger Super Single Six Convertible in stainless with a 6 1/2" to 7" bbl, can't remember for sure, Of course with a magnum cyl, and walnut grips, $229.95, and it was a tack driver, SA only, and was a joy to shoot, still kicking myself for selling it to a great friend, who passed away last year, I've had a large number of revolvers and all were Rugers except for a S & W Model 19-1 Combat Magnum 4" Nickle that I inherited from my father after he passed away in 84, R.I.P. A couple years ago I picked up a Rough Rider 6 1/2" just for fun, Thanks Don, Stay Safe & 2A Strong. 🇺🇸
Glad to see that ruger finally did this. As usual a well done review without hyperbole. Love your calm demeanor and funny seconds at the end. Thank you for doing it.
I have an old H&R double action 22LR/22MAG my dad gave me. I love that thing!
Just gotta say! Who ever edits these videos. And camera angles is why I love to watch these videos. Chef's kiss !
Nice to have options. Love the Super Wrangler! Great review!
Amen. I bought the Wrangler with the birds head grip and love it. I'd also like to have this one with a 5 1/2" barrel.
According to Ruger's website the cylinder frame is steel. Makes sense with Ruger's policy of overbuilding. I liked the idea of an inexpensive revolver but when I looked at Heritage, they just looked cheap to me. The Wrangler has a cleaner look without the plastic safety. The transfer bar is vastly superior IMHO. I have a couple of the original versions. I would love to get one of the long barreled ones. Now they got this one! I want it too!
I had a heritage in the late 90s and it was fine, the sights were just way off. When they put that safety on them, they ruined them for me.
I have a heritage. With the safety. Its a fine fun firearm.
4 times the price... NOPE,
@@Eric_Von_Yesselstyn what is 4 times the price? The super wrangler msrp is $329..
Oh my gosh, only $329 for a .22 lr revolver..??? What a great bargain..!!!
$329 MSRP (cough cough) you mean $385.
Are you serious, really...??
First of all, I was just Doggin on the Super Wrangler.
Secondly.. $329, I mean $385 for a .22lr revolver..??
Man get the "F" out of here with your "It's only blah blah blah....
$329... ROFLCOPTERWAFFLESAUCE🤣
My wife loves hers. She loves the purple colored version I got her last year.
Her birthday is coming up and I’ll probably have to buy the magnum one in black. She likes 22 caliber and likes her revolvers.
Thanks for the fun video. I just checked my stainless single six with both cylinders 2014/01/21. In its plastic case wrapped in plastic with wooden grips never fired. What a beauty.
SHOOT IT
Thanks for stopping by Ed! The Single Six is a beauty
Great review, thanks for posting. I would appreciate seeing the cylinder gap measured on revolver reviews. A set of feeler gauges would be required.
I would like that Gap measurement as well, however, the Cylinder-Gap differs from One Gun to Another - Therefore the Gap measurement on His test pistol will probably be different than the Gap on the Pistol You receive... "Just My two cents worth."
Ruger got tired of Heritage eating their lunch.
Wow finally after waiting for long time ruger finally offers a 22mag version of the wrangler. I think it should came that way.
Makes for great trail rig or camp gun or range gun.
Will wait to see what market price ends up being. Picked up my original Wranglers on sell for 169 ea. Will make a nice pairing with the Ruger American 22 mag rifle.
I have been waiting for this from Ruger for years now! I finally broke down and bought a regular wrangler about a month ago because I wanted one. I guess now I will just have to buy another one now! 🙃
I bought a Heritage .22 LR/.22 Mag revolver and it is a lot of fun to shoot. .22 Mag makes it a serious varment gun.
The Ruger wrangler came out in 2019 not 2000 I think he just miss spoke. He fixed his mistake later on in the
Video
I have an old Cattleman 22lr and 22 mag cylinder that go's with this old gun and it is still a great gun to have overall. Love this old gun, that is now a copy from this old gun. Nice to see it come back. Old Master Gunnery SGT USMC.
I was just looking the wrangler up on Sportsman's Warehouse, the lowest was $219, the highest was $279. Nice looking single action.
I hope this new gun doesn't mean the end for the Single-Six family. Options are an important part of a gun maker's lineup.
Agreed especially with the price
The Heritage still comes with traditional bluing, and wood grips for like 200 bucks
Mine was $115 and came with a coupon for a discount on the 22mag cylinder, my kids love shooting it
I prefer the old school looks of the Heritage. A great thick magazine just came out on all the models. Love the Bar keep
I picked up a Couple Heritage's for under a Hundred doll hairs with both cylinders ! I have a Wrangler and it's not accurate
Mine was $80 with the rebate and the regular cocobolo grips.
They need to put out something like the heritage barkeep and also a 9.5 in buntline
Definitely a must have.
One difference with the older models is the reverse cylinder roll. On the old Rugers Single Six, the roll back stops at the perfect place to load the round. Makes for much faster loading. Roll each forward then back to the stop. Twice as fast to load. I liked it a lot better than the roll back with no block. On the plus side the ceracote is better for long lasting revolvers and that is nice. My old one has worn spots in the blueing. Also that removable front site may solve my problem wanting to shoot hickory nuts at 10 to 20 yards. That is what you have to do to get Blue Grouse dinner once in a while if you don't carry the Judge. The judge would be a good choice in big bear country and you better be both lucky and good.
I've got nothing against the Wrangler, I actually like Ruger, but for the price you can't beat a Heritage. I've had one for awhile now and it shoots great, never any problems and it's cheaper than the Wrangler. I bought mine with the 22mag cylinder included, for less than $150.00, brand new.
I love my little Wrangler ! I was hoping they would make this one... Now I gotta get one !!
Always a good review...thanks for mentioning the small details that perspective buyers would be thinking about.
Thank you for the video. I have wanted Ruger to make this gun for awhile. I will have to have one.
Thanks Ken! It's a sweet shooter
Will get one ! Great review as always!
Wow! My first handgun was a Ruger Bearcat in 22lr and 23magnum. That was about 1963 or so. I'm 71 now so memories fade but still like cowboy stuff.
I have a Ruger single 6 .i love it. Ive owned it for longer than 20 years.its my trapping gun. And has taken tons of grouse, squirrels and ground hog,and porky pines.. i love it. Amazing accuracy. Ruger rule's. None better.
Good to see you Not ignorant to safety check , Here in Australia, we half cock single action open the loading gate and count a double Rotation of the wheel so we’re counting six Chambers twice and not to do the Alex Baldwin check
Great vid as always great sense of humor, Enjoyed.
22lr is no joke, my buddy got shot through his shoulder by accident, it went through the bottom of his left collar bone and exited through the center of his shoulder blade taking a nickle sized piece with it. Obviously it isn't an optimal defense round but it will absolutely get the job done. I also read somewhere that every large game animal has been killed with the humble 22lr at one point or another.
I also have stories to contest that .22lr is no toy
Well, I said I would have bought one if they made it in 6.5 in. Now they have given it everything. It's going to be an even greater hit than the original. Look out Rough Rider. I admit I bought one of those too, nine shot with 6.5 in. barrel. Now Ruger needs to add a nine or 10 shot Wrangler. I have 2 Single Six old and new models so I may wait a while more for the Wrangler.
And once again the transfer bar does not block the hammer, it allows the hammer to hit the firing pin, thereby "transferring" the blow to fire the gun. So when the hammer is down, so is the transfer bar, not allowing the hammer to contact the firing pin since it is resting on the frame. Love the review.
Best gun review artist around! Thanks man.
About damn time! However too little too late for me. I already have a variety of Heritage Rough Riders which either came with both cylinders or the magnum cylinder is available for ~$35. I will give River credit for it more refined appearance.
That Super Wrangler is a great new revolver. I want one. But the 22 LR can also chamber and shoot 22 Short, 22 CB caps and 22 Long cartridges. As well as 22 shot shells.
This one can do all of that as well it comes with the Mag cylinder and the 22lr so it literally will shoot everything.
And if it weren't for the NFA, we could swap to a smooth bore and really extend shotshell effectiveness.
FINALLY! its now on my SHORT wish list
Nice! I’ve been waiting for Ruger to come out with a convertible model in their wrangler line.
I love my Wrangler but those sights on the super are top notch.
I couldn’t help but notice that at the 11 minute mark you actually pulled out the cylinder that was fully loaded!👀
I have been seeing the regular Wrangler under glass at the Hill AFB gun counter. I've been hoping they'd come out with a variant that can do .22 mag! Nice. I am totally getting one.
I was stationed at Hill in '77-78 and absolutely loved the outdoors. My roommate and I would drive out to Antelope Island and never saw anyone other than a park ranger. One time the island looked completely black rather than the normal wheat color. When we got there, every square inch was covered with dormant black flies...that was creepy so we got to hell out of there. A local took us to a waterfall that was about a mile hike from the back road to Ogden...probably have a sub devision there now. I was about the last guy to leave Craig AFB when it closed and remember seeing my orders to Hill AFB, Ogden, Ut and my heart dropped...everyone was laughing at me as I hurriedly asked...it this a remote assignment. They were not sensitive to my predicament and just kept on laughing. I really enjoyed my time there especially when the one doing the most laughing got Minot, AFB. Karma I guess.
Sidekick kicks its all around
Very comprehensive review. I have one on order and hope to pick it up next week.
Dang Sootch, when are you gonna learn how the Ruger transfer bar works. It does not block the hammer from striking the firing pin! It can only fire when the transfer bar is up and that only happens when you pull the trigger. If you don’t pull the trigger the bar stays down and there’s nothing but empty space between the hammer and firing pin making it impossible to fire. No blocking involved.
That's wrong!!
@@enricomandragona163
Nah... Sry buddy, but he's right. That's exactly how a transfer bar safety works. Hence the word "transfer".
Nice, they caught up to the heritage rough rider target model.
I was taught on a Colt Frontier Scout 22LR/22Mag Single-action pistol. Each step must be followed in order to load, fire, empty the cylinder then reload. In my opinionion this should be the standard process to learn to shoot. This was the same process I used to teach my wife and kids how to use a handgun.
I own 3 Heritage Arms revolvers and the Ranger carbine too. Have 3 extra 22wmr cylinders for them. Heritage sells extra cylinders for $30 to $39 depending upon if you desire cylinder engraving. Yes, Heritage doesn't cerokoat their models.
Heritage has, at least recently offered models that are cerakoted.
@@MaineGlow1 Thank you for this heads-up. Black paint on the zimac frame and grip assembly wasn't doing it for me.
Since i was a little boy i was fascinated by the Old West stories, i wish i could buy something similar to SAA, but i live in Brazil, so, take my message American brothers, never surrender your guns.
About time they came up with this.
Love, in the bloopers, when you said "Rugler". That should become a thing.
Thanks very much. Bought one today at Scheels, now have to wait a bunch of days to pick up even though I have a conceal carry permit. Ahhh Illinois??
thanx for letting us know about the grips being inter-changeable with the single six
Thanks for stopping by Arch!
I temporarily swapped my Blackhawk grips with my Wrangler and they fit fine.
Another great ruger product and great review thanks sootch
22 mag oh boy. I will be getting one for sure.
Sold! Just purchased a black model after looking for a while for $269.99 hard to find and prices very up to retail $329.00 I would say $300 is going price with back orders. Its a blast to shoot, love it!
Now we just need one in 17hmr!
I had ruger do my gp100. 357magnum on the ruger wrangler bronze. Now I've got to get one of these to match.
Do you have another guns, or only your GP-100?
Sounds like a great revolver for you and Othais to discuss over lunch!
Great video. Ordered one last week!
this would make a really great survival or BOB gun with the adjustable sights and lr/magnum options.
Awesome ! Going to get a Bronze one .
Hope they do a Birds Head 3.5" and a 7.5" with fiber optic sights, optics ready and threaded barrel !
Check out the Heritage “Tactical Cowboy” model!
No point in having a threaded barrel because a suppressor (silencer) will not work on a revolver 😊
@@bossman1974 Not true. With a bit of work, suppressors can work quite well on revolvers.
Looks very much like a Single Six, except for the finish. I love my Ruger New Model Single Six Stainless it's a 6.5" model made in 1975. Both cylinders are fluted and neither cylinder has the caliber marked on them. It also does not have the ugly Ruger Warning on the barrel. It is a beautiful old gun and it's extremely accurate.
Finally! Now make the birds head 22wmr also 🙏🏼
I picked up a pair of 5.5" bbl 4-click (pre-funky safety 3-click) Uberti SAA 12 round .22lr revolvers, and enjoy 200yd berm clay pigeon kills with it. Sure would enjoy it if you could find one & review it, Sootch (probably used) and I'll love watching your mind blown by it's tight grouping and ultra-sweet 2lb SA trigger. I'll bet you don't sell it.
i was just shooting my 1967 Colt Peacemaker Buntline yesterday. a fine convertible. nice to see Ruger offer one
You want to sell it!!??$$$

Great review
Very nice ruger wrangler 22 LR thanks for sharing sootch00
Can't wait to pick mine up !🙌🏼
Sootch…..nice review, as usual, but I think the transfer bar works a bit differently than you suggested.
I believe, just like it sounds, the transfer bar “transfers” the impact from the hammer to the firing pin. It doesn’t “block” anything.
If you don’t have the trigger pulled, the transfer bar will not function.
You might check, but I do believe that is how it works.
Thx.
You are exactly right 👍
Wrong !! The transfer bar drops once the trigger passes the sear in the pistol and the hammer can then strike the primer!!
@@enricomandragona163 you are the one who is wrong Enrico, when the trigger is pulled the transfer bar moves up to fill the gap between the hammer and firing pin that is why it is called a TRANSFER bar 😁
@@bossman1974 you're right just checking to see if you would challenge me lol. Yes and Sootch should know better.
You are ALL wrong. The Transfer Bar is where I go every Saturday for beers and karaoke. So, there.
It's a transfer bar, not a hammer or firing pin block. It does the exact opposite of what you describe here. There is a cutout in the hammer that does not allow the hammer to make contact with the firing pin unless you hold the trigger down and that bar is in place. It is the same system on all Ruger revolvers and the new Colt Snake series of revolvers.
Thank you.
👍💯
I knew they would eventually do it. Now to increase the capacity and they’ve done something.
sootch00, I really appreciate your thorough reviews. Keep up the great work. PS... mine is on the way!
I own two wranglers. The super and the regular. Fun guns to shoot at a reasonable price.
In 1979 I bought a brand new Ruger 22 convert. Got to shoot it one time
before someone decided
they needed it more than
me. I still have my holster
though.
Maybe I will replace it with
one of these.
Dang... when we could still buy handguns in Canada, I almost bought a Wrangler for like $300 but I wanted a coververtible 22 lr/22wmr, so I bought the Ruger single six. Quite a price difference at $800... no regrets though, at least I got it before I couldn't
You know what would be an excellent companion for this gun? A Marlin 39A lever action in .22...Ruger smart enough to figure that out?
Ruger does now own marlin
@@enricomandragona163 Yeah, but it's VERY plain to see they have a serious big-bore fetish with Marlin...
