U.S.A. –-(Ammoland.com)- Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) introduces the Wrangler single-action revolver chambered in .22 LR. Built on the legacy of the popular Ruger Single-Six, the new Wrangler complements Ruger’s rich history of producing quality, rugged, reliable single-action revolvers. The attractive price, combined with the affordability of rimfire ammunition, make this revolver ideal for learning to shoot, introducing friends or family to the sport, or just experiencing the fun of single-action shooting.
With the introduction of the Single-Six in 1953, Bill Ruger pioneered the use of modern investment casting in firearms manufacturing to usher in a new level of affordability in single-action revolvers. Through the use of modern CNC-machining methods, lean manufacturing techniques and a new aluminum alloy cylinder frame, the Wrangler continues this tradition and sets a new bar for affordability while maintaining the rugged reliability that is the hallmark of Ruger firearms.
Initially offered in three attractive Cerakote models – black, silver and bronze – the new Wrangler is a feature-packed revolver and an exceptional value. The standard checkered black grip panels can be swapped for Single-Six panels, allowing for a variety of customized options. The Wrangler will fit in Single-Six holsters that accommodate 4-5/8” barrels.
Single-action revolvers in .22 LR offer a safe and fun way to introduce new shooters to the sport, and can serve as a reminder to even the most experienced shooters that range time can be just plain fun. Whether it’s your first gun or your next, time at the range with the Wrangler promises to be well spent.

Israeli air marshals use .22 hand guns. They can kill a person but not put too large of a hole in the plane.
I own several Ruger firearms. Never had a issue with accuracy, malfunctions, or quality. My first Ruger was a single six. It shoot accurate enough with 22LR to hit clothes pins at 15 yards. Ruger always has excellent customer service.
I pre-ordered the Ruger Wrangler it appears that no one has them in stock. I inquired to Ruger about availability and this was their response: Our schedule is based on distributor orders. Unfortunately we do not have access to the production schedule. Your dealer can contact his Ruger Sales Rep for more information or to place an order for you.
The latest issue of Guns and Ammo has long review about the Ruger Maverick. They rave about it. I have already ordered the rosewood grips and the holster.
The only problem is I cannot find one, even at the gun show I visited on Saturday.
Where can I buy one near Fort Myers?
PS I already tried Davidson’ Gallery of Guns, but they did not have it either.
It cracks me up how such a simple review of new firearm morph’s into a ridiculous string of comments that end up completely off topic, complete with insults and everything.
Dont be rediculous its a .22
Looks like they are trying to take some of the market from Heritage and Chiappa.
Yes I love my hi standard 6 in nickel ratty as hell but a good shooter.
Sturm Ruger will sell these like hot cakes. I recently sent Ruger my 45 Blackhawk (made in 1977) for repair. Not a warranty issue, I was replacing the grip frame and hammer with ones from a Super Blackhawk 44 and ran into a problem. Ruger shipped it back within days assembled and with new dark wood grips. No charge for labor, parts, or freight. This is over the top customer service!. I will be purchasing a Wrangler as soon as my dealer gets one.
