RUGER WRANGLER

Overview

The RUGER WRANGLER is a budget-friendly, single-action revolver chambered in .22 Long Rifle, purpose-built for plinking, basic marksmanship, and instructor-led training. With a 6-round cylinder and manual single-action operation, it enforces proper trigger control by requiring the hammer to be cocked before each shot. Made in the USA from an aluminum alloy frame with a cold hammer-forged steel barrel, the Wrangler offers durability and predictable rimfire performance at an MSRP of $179.99.

Design and Features

Frame and Barrel

The aluminum alloy frame keeps weight low—around 30 ounces—while the cold hammer-forged steel barrel (4.62 inches) maintains accuracy and longevity beyond typical budget rimfires. Overall length sits at 10.25 inches, making the revolver easy to handle and carry on the range.

Sights, Safety, and Operation

Fixed sights (front blade and integral rear notch) provide a rugged, snag-free sight picture suitable for close-range targets and rapid follow-up shots. The transfer bar safety system prevents the hammer from contacting the firing pin unless the trigger is fully depressed, adding a modern layer of safety to classic single-action operation.

Ergonomics and Finish Options

Grips vary between synthetic and wood, giving buyers choice in feel and aesthetics. Cerakote finishes such as black, silver, and burnt bronze offer corrosion resistance and a classic look that complements the Wrangler’s Western styling. For range training and casual shooting, the .22 LR caliber delivers low recoil and inexpensive ammo, ideal for high-round-count practice. View product details and pricing.
