Description
You’re clearing brush on your property, the sun beating down. A rattler coils in the shade of a log. You need a tool that’s always ready, utterly simple, and won’t make you wince if it gets scratched. That’s the WRANGLER Handguns Revolver. It’s a no-frills, single-action .22 LR revolver built for real-world utility and practice, offering Ruger reliability at an accessible price point of $194.39. When it comes to a dependable plinker, trail companion, or first-step firearm, this is it.
Here’s the thing—the WRANGLER strips the concept of a revolver down to its purest, most functional form. It’s a six-shot, single-action wheelgun with a transfer bar safety, mimicking the classic handling of old-west sidearms but with modern manufacturing and safety. The fixed sights are simple, the loading gate is satisfyingly mechanical, and the alloy frame keeps the weight manageable. At just 30 oz unloaded, it’s easy to carry all day in a holster without becoming a burden. This is a firearm designed for repetition, for teaching fundamentals, and for handling chores where a more expensive gun would be overkill.
Key Features
The WRANGLER’s strength is in its straightforward execution. The single-action operation forces deliberate shooting, making it an excellent trainer for new shooters. Each shot requires you to cock the hammer, promoting focus on sight alignment and trigger control. The Cerakote finish, available in several colors, provides a durable shield against the elements—whether that’s Missouri humidity or pocket lint. It fits out of the box with most standard .22 LR ammunition, requiring no break-in period to run reliably. The grip frame is compatible with many aftermarket panels designed for the Single-Six, allowing for some personalization.
Reliability is baked into the design. The transfer bar safety system is a critical modern touch, allowing the hammer to rest safely on an empty chamber. The cylinder locks up tight, and the ejector rod positively clears spent casings. Is it a target pistol? No. But for ringing steel at 25 yards or dispatching pests, its fixed sights are more than adequate. The price point is the final, compelling argument. At under two hundred dollars, it removes the barrier to revolver ownership and practice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use .22 Magnum ammunition in the WRANGLER?
A: No. The WRANGLER is chambered specifically for .22 Long Rifle (and .22 Short, .22 Long). Using .22 Magnum (WMR) in a firearm not explicitly marked for it is dangerous and should never be attempted.
Q: Is the WRANGLER suitable for concealed carry?
A: While possible, its single-action design and larger profile make it a less-than-ideal choice for modern concealed carry. It’s best suited as a trail gun, trainer, or recreational plinker where its slower, deliberate operation is an asset, not a liability.
Q: What’s included with the pistol?
A: The WRANGLER typically comes with the revolver, one 6-round cylinder, and a basic lock. Remember, an FFL transfer is required for firearm purchases, which we handle seamlessly through our network.
