This should have been the wrangler since the start

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!

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.

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.

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.

This is the one they should've introduced from the start! Now I'm interested again.

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.

Just got a regular wrangler a few days ago. We’ve been having a lot fun since.

It's nice to see that there's no bogus, out of place safety switches on this pistol.

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.

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.

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.

Just gotta say! Who ever edits these videos. And camera angles is why I love to watch these videos. Chef's kiss !

Awesome! Have been waiting for an upgraded Wrangler with adjustable sights and 22 Mag. Know what my boys are getting for Christmas!

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...

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!

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. 🇺🇸

I have an old H&R double action 22LR/22MAG my dad gave me. I love that thing!

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.

Nice to have options. Love the Super Wrangler! 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 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.

Definitely a must have.

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.

Will get one ! Great review as always!

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

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.

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.

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.

Best gun review artist around! Thanks man.

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.

The Diamondback Sidekick is also great if you can find one. Same price, 9 round cylinders (LR & Magnum) and also SA/DA.

FINALLY! its now on my SHORT wish list

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.

Very comprehensive review. I have one on order and hope to pick it up next week.

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 love my little Wrangler ! I was hoping they would make this one... Now I gotta get one !!

Great vid as always great sense of humor, Enjoyed.

About time they came up with this.

Always a good review...thanks for mentioning the small details that perspective buyers would be thinking about.

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.

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.

Thank you for the video. I have wanted Ruger to make this gun for awhile. I will have to have one.

Ruger got tired of Heritage eating their lunch.

22 mag oh boy. I will be getting one for sure.

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! 🙃

Can't wait to pick mine up !🙌🏼

I was just looking the wrangler up on Sportsman's Warehouse, the lowest was $219, the highest was $279. Nice looking single action.

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.

Another great ruger product and great review thanks sootch

Great review, thanks for posting. I would appreciate seeing the cylinder gap measured on revolver reviews. A set of feeler gauges would be required.

Great video. Ordered one last week!

I love my Wrangler but those sights on the super are top notch.

Love, in the bloopers, when you said "Rugler". That should become a thing.

Nice, they caught up to the heritage rough rider target model.

The Heritage still comes with traditional bluing, and wood grips for like 200 bucks

I couldn’t help but notice that at the 11 minute mark you actually pulled out the cylinder that was fully loaded!👀

Great review

I like their looks.

The Ruger wrangler came out in 2019 not 2000 I think he just miss spoke. He fixed his mistake later on in the Video

Now we just need one in 17hmr!

thanx for letting us know about the grips being inter-changeable with the single six

Nice! I’ve been waiting for Ruger to come out with a convertible model in their wrangler line.

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??

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.

Can't wait to get one

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.

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.

Very nice ruger wrangler 22 LR thanks for sharing sootch00

They need to put out something like the heritage barkeep and also a 9.5 in buntline

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.

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.

Sootch: you had me sold within the opening minute of this video.

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!

Sounds like a great revolver for you and Othais to discuss over lunch!

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.

Great episode 🎉

sootch00, I really appreciate your thorough reviews. Keep up the great work. PS... mine is on the way!

Excellent video!

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.

Single action revolvers are just 😎 cool

Finally! Now make the birds head 22wmr also 🙏🏼

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 just shooting my 1967 Colt Peacemaker Buntline yesterday. a fine convertible. nice to see Ruger offer one

Smoke’n!! . . . YOU ~ ROCK ! !

Great vid!!

I knew they were holding out on us 🤤

this would make a really great survival or BOB gun with the adjustable sights and lr/magnum options.

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.

FINALLY 😃👍🏻. I'm so buying me one of them . 😊

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 !

Colt made one of these in the 1970s, my grandpa had one and passed it down to my brother.

I had ruger do my gp100. 357magnum on the ruger wrangler bronze. Now I've got to get one of these to match.

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.

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

I'm happy to have the traditional sighted wrangler for fun I'm likely gonna get the super wrangler for hunting

How does this new model compare to the Diamondback Sidekick?

Oh my, gotta get one.
