Bought the Ruger and the heritage within a week of each other... At 400ish rounds, the heritage went back to the factory. Stayed for almost 3 months, and was returned to me, STILL not in time. Sold it back to the gunshop for 70 dollars of store credit. The Ruger isn't the best single action 22 I've ever shot, but at least it still works.

Heritage Rough Rider ALL DAY. You have more sizes, from a 1" Barkeep Boot, to a 16" revolver (YES, a freaking 16" barrel). You get tons more finishes, grips, and you can swap out a birds head grip on them. The Heritage Rough Riders also have 22 WMR cylinders that work on all their 6-shot models. Heritage also makes 9-shot models in 6.5", with both 22LR and 22WMR cylinders. The Wrangler now has some bird's head grip models, and Heritage models now have some cerakote models.

Heritage has significant performance issues. Many reviews citing poor function and/or terrible accuracy. I bought a Chiappa with the additional 22 WMR cylinder. Sure, it's roughly finished, but it functions well and accuracy is fine. It's also the only full size SAA replica that isn't priced as high as the center fire guns.
@Alloy211 Жыл бұрын
I can't say we've experienced significant performance issues with our Heritage. The accuracy of our Heritage is equal to our Chiappa, so no significant difference for us. We have had a reliability issue with the Heritage and the .22 LR cylinder. In that occasionally it doesn't strike the rim enough to fire. I've not had the time to address it yet but I believe I have a simple solution. Now that being said the Chiappa is my son's favorite over the Heritage and he shoots the single action .22s the most so between that and it being the correct size I say it's kind of a wash between the two.

@@Alloy211 it's because of the zinc alloy. Illinois has a law that you cannot sell firearms within state borders that have zinc and a melting point of 800° or lower. As such, Heritage, Hi Point, many Walther models, and other many other brands I can't recall offhand simply aren't available here.

The overall construction of the Heritage feels cheap compared to the Wrangler. The Heritage magnum cylinder & barrel length options are nice. I know people who love their Heritage, & people who hate them. For plinking & general fun shooting I'd lean towards the Wrangler, but I might be biased since I have two Single-Six, one stainless & one blue. I also remember when you could get a free Heritage with the purchase of higher priced pistol (Beretta, IIRC ???). That made me question the quality of Heritage.

Sometimes promotions can hurt reputation in that regard. I'd agree that the Heritage doesn't have quite the same quality feel of the Wrangler but they're not too far off in my opinion.

The Wrangler really surprised me when I compared it to my Vaquero, obviously cheaper materials on the Wrangler but build quality was similar.

the ruger wrangler I bought some months ago. having owned many rugers in my long life time I wasn’t expected a single 6 for the price. but know it had to be quality or ruger wouldn’t put there name on it . I never owned or personally know anyone who has a bad ruger, it was far beyond my expectations. I have shot it up to 45-50 yards and shoot 6-9 inch groups off hand. I must work flawlessly on time, every time, any time like all my defense weapons or it will not be tolerated at all. the lives of my family demands it. with much older eyes and not as steady as 42 years ago it’s a whole lot of gun for 200 dollars new with a life time warranty .

@hqmhqm3 жыл бұрын
I got the Wrangler, and used to have a a Single Six. I like the Wrangler but noticed the trigger is a little heavier than I want and the loading gate is quite stiff. I ended up taking it apart and squashing the loading gate spring (called cylinder latch spring in the user manual). It looks like a hairpin, and you can squash it in a vise so the gap between the legs is about 0.1 inch instead of the 0.2 inch it comes from factory as. Then the loading gate is nice and easy to open. The trigger can be made lighter by unhooking one of the legs of the trigger spring from the pin inside the handle. I know that sounds like a poor idea, but it works really well and is easy to do. The spring is very stiff so it feels unlikely to come loose even if only one leg is hooked on a pin. With these two changes, the Wrangler feels a lot more like the Single Six.
@Alloy2113 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the advice and your perspective. I for a long time ran both trigger springs off on my .45 Colt Vaquero and liked the hair trigger. Until I let a friend shoot it and watch him put a round in the ground just in front of himself. He cocked the hammer back before he'd taken aim and touched the trigger. After that I put both trigger springs back on as a lot of people want to shoot it. But it's certainly something to lighten the trigger and one leg off it isn't too much of a hair trigger.

Chiappa should give up. Tried to buy several and was disappointed each time. Chiappa is an Indian word for Junk.

It's unfortunate as I have heard there are some better examples in their lineup. I haven't actually seen any but still you hope. Thanks for watching.

I've been interested in shooting a Rhino for awhile now, just to see if it's different. Thanks for watching.

@@Alloy211 Alloy said he's thinking of shooting a Rhino in the future. Use a bigger gun as all the Rhinos I see on tv are pretty good sized.

i happen to like that manual safety on the heritage because it allows you to safely carry 6 rounds in it. if i get a 6 shooter i'm gonna actually put 6 shots in it. now, point of contention, you said you like the overall finish on the heritage the best. now while you are right about that particular heritage which appears to have some kinda coating on it, most rough riders come with a cheap paint on the frame which easily flakes off. as far as the wrangler being better quality, , if you have the time and inclination, call ruger cs like i did and ask if the reason the wrangler isnt offered with a 22 mag cylinder is because the frame couldnt handle the added pressure of a 22 mag load, and they will tell you yes. thats a red flag to me. even the chiappa can be had with a mag cylinder

Although I could see why you might have concerns about the frame even the highest pressure .22 LR aren't going to stress it as much as .22 Mag. With a transfer bar I don't really think you're any less safe with six rounds in the chamber but I can see why some people may prefer the manual safety. I appreciate your perspective and thanks for watching.

RUGER WRANGLER: LOOKS GOOD...FEELS GOOD...DOESN'T SHOOT WORTH A DAMN...NOT EVEN A GOOD PLINKER.....MIGHT MAKE A INTERESTING PAPER WEIGHT BUT IT'S NOT A SHOOTER...!

I can't say for sure on that as I've only had limited range time with it although the example I was shooting seemed on par my Heritage and Chiappa. Thanks for watching.

You’re WRONG, dude! The CORRECT pronunciation is as KEY-appa.
