There is something about a single-action revolver that never gets old. Cock the hammer, line up the sights, squeeze the trigger, repeat. The Ruger Wrangler takes that old-west experience and builds it around .22 LR, the cheapest centerpiece of a fun range day you will find. This is the model 2002 with the 4.62 inch barrel, Black Cerakote finish, and checkered black synthetic grips, and it has become one of the most popular rimfire revolvers on the market for good reason.
Ruger based the Wrangler on its legendary Single-Six, keeping the same grip frame pattern and overall dimensions, so holsters and grip panels made for the Single-Six fit here too. The barrel is cold hammer-forged carbon steel, the same process Ruger uses on its pricier guns, which gives you crisp rifling that stays accurate for the long haul. The frame is lightweight aluminum alloy, keeping the whole package at a manageable 30 ounces. Fixed blade front and integral notch rear sights keep things simple, and a transfer bar mechanism paired with a loading gate interlock means the hammer cannot reach the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled.
The Wrangler earns its keep as a first handgun, a trainer for new folks learning the fundamentals, a camp and trail companion, or just a plain fun plinker for knocking cans around on a Saturday. Recoil is basically nonexistent, so it is a great way to introduce someone to handgun shooting without flinch-inducing blast. It digests .22 LR, .22 Long, and .22 Short, so you can run whatever rimfire you have on the shelf, including quiet subsonic loads.
Plenty of budget guns feel like budget guns. This one does not. The Cerakote finish shrugs off weather and holster wear, the action is smooth, and the whole thing carries that Ruger reputation for rugged, no-drama reliability. Built in the USA and backed by Ruger's customer service, the Wrangler is proof that fun does not have to be expensive.
No, the Wrangler is built strictly for the .22 LR cartridge family. Per Ruger's manual, it will safely run .22 LR, .22 Long, and .22 Short in subsonic through hyper velocity loads, but the cylinder is not designed for .22 WMR and Ruger warns against swapping in cylinders from other single actions. If you want a magnum option, look at the Ruger Single-Six Convertible.
It is one of the best starter revolvers out there. The single-action design forces a deliberate pace, .22 LR has next to no recoil, and the transfer bar plus loading gate interlock add solid mechanical safeguards. It teaches sight alignment and trigger control without breaking the bank on ammo.
Yes. The Wrangler shares its external dimensions and grip frame pattern with the New Model Single-Six, so holsters and aftermarket grip panels made for that gun fit the Wrangler as well. That gives you a huge pool of leather, kydex, and wood grip options to customize it.
Like a traditional single action, it loads through a gate on the right side of the recoil shield. Open the gate and the cylinder free-wheels so you can drop rounds in one at a time, then use the ejector rod under the barrel to punch out empties. It is slower than a swing-out cylinder, but that hands-on process is a big part of the old-west charm.
