In today's comparison review, we look at the Ruger Wrangler Birdshead TALO edition revolver and the NEW Ruger Super Wrangler. The Wrangler is available only in 22lr and the Super Wrangler comes as a convertible - you simply switch out your 22lr cylinder for the 22 WMR cylinder. Which of these wheelguns would you choose?
Here are links to OUR full individual reviews of each of these:

The super wrangler has a steel cylinder frame. It weighs about the same as a single six. Much more heavy duty

After examining various zinc guns including the Wrangler and Super Wrangler, I decided on the Single Six with adjustable sights. It costs more but it's well worth the extra money.

I have both, a super wrangler and a wrangler birdshead. The birdshead is a fun gun to target shoot and for belt carry.the super is a great 22mag gun for predators and small game. Both my guns are black and the finish has held up great on both guns.

Super Wrangler is the best bargain on the market right now.

STEEL cylinder frame...Zinc alloy grip frame. The Super Wrangler is almost 8 ounces heavier than the Aluminum Alloy cylinder framed standard Wrangler. Both of them share a Zinc Alloy grip frame...All the info is available on the manufacturer's website.

The Super Wrangler for me would be the better deal, sights, grips and 22 mag capable. The wood grips on the Wrangler are nice looking, but don't look like they would be very comfortable. Good review and comparison. The trigger on both of them look impressive.

I don't have a bird's head but I do have the plow handle originals. Picked up a Super as soon as I could get my hands on one. Those adjustable sights do really make a difference. After painting the front sight it's much easier to aim. The lines of the original will always look pretty to me.

Nice gun, wish I got this over the original Wrangler. Personally, I prefer blackout sights over dots or hokey fiber optics, usually more precise.

I have the "regular" Wrangler with the gunslinger grip, both in black and silver Cerakote (the latter is actually my wife's). I also have the TALO birdshead version. The birdshead isn't as good a shooter, but you're right; it's a looker. When they very first came out, I just thought it was as cute as the dickens and had to have it. Oh, and the grip *is* comfortable. Perhaps you get a better purchase on the weapon with the textured synthetic grips, but the wood grip panels on the birdshead aren't bad. So I don't *need* another Wrangler, "Super" or otherwise. But dang it, I *want* the new Super! Thanks a lot, you just exacerbated my GAS problem. (Of course, GAS = Gun Acquisition Syndrome.)

I have the Super Wrangler on my list of guns that I still "need". 😉

Just picked up a wrangler yesterday for plinking and to introduce my son to pistols. I was wondering if I would be able to run the 22 mag cylinder in a regular wrangler, but you answered it perfectly.

The frame on the super is not the same material as the regular Wrangler.

Thanks very good review wished I would have know they were coming out with the super lol

I own a competing brand, primarily because the original Wrangler didn't offer a magnum cylinder (why did it take Ruger several years to figure that out?)...so, the super Wrangler offers adjustable sights (kinda nice), better service (always, Taurus improving but still kinda shady), a sturdier construction...it does cost a little more, and weighs a few ounces more...I'd say the super Wrangler might be a better gun, but for single action .22, pretty much any gun will do, especially if WE don't want to shell out the big bucks for a single six, or even bigger bucks for the S&W 617, or the new Colt .22...

if it has a swing out cylinder, I'd go for them both why does only 1 .22 revolver come with a swing out cylinder?

@GarfieldEnjoyer1878 Жыл бұрын

Quite a few revolvers do. But not in this price range.

They look like they're made out of pot metal

@davidtaylor4359 4 ай бұрын

The ruger 10/22 receiver is made of the same aluminum alloy as the wrangler. Thousands of 22lr have been shot in my pot metal 10/22 and I figure the wrangler will hold up too
