It is only offered in .22 Long Rifle. The .22 Magnum is deemed too hot a loading for use in zinc-alloy frames.<\/p>\n<p>With a full-size Single Six-type grip frame and 4.62-inch barrel, the Wrangler is well balanced, reliable, and accurate. The simple trough and post sights are usually properly sighted for 40-grain bullets at 15 yards. The Super Wrangler features a Cerakote finish that provides corrosion and wear resistance, at a price that is less expensive than a blue finish. Ruger has introduced several colors of Cerakote, a 3.75-inch barrel version, and birdshead grip versions. A long-barrel version (that I have yet to see) is promised.<\/p>\n<p>The Wrangler is a good revolver, however, it isn\u2019t a viable alternative to the Ruger Single Six on two counts.

The longer and more powerful magnum uses a crimped-in-place jacketed bullet, rather than the lead heel-based bullet of the .22 Long Rifle.<\/p>\n<p>Originally designed as a rifle cartridge, the .22 Magnum increases short-range killing power and extends the range of the rimfire. While useful, the .22 Long Rifle is affordable and offers a great deal of utility.

The Super Wrangler is a stronger revolver than the Wrangler. The steel frame is also stronger than the Wrangler\u2019s alloy frame. A 5.5-inch barrel delivers good velocity for a revolver. The balance and heft of the revolver are good, very good.<\/p>\n<p>On another note, unlike the .44 Special\/.44 Magnum and .38 Special\/.357 Magnum combination, the .22 Magnum isn\u2019t simply a longer .22 Long Rifle. Dimensions and design are different enough that the two cartridges demand a different cylinder. A warning\u2026 while .22 Long Rifle will usually fit \u2014 not properly, but fit \u2014 in the .22 Magnum cylinder and fire, the case will rupture and become stuck in the chamber.<\/p>\n<p>It requires a gunsmith effort to remove, so don\u2019t try it. Add quality, adjustable sights to the Super Wrangler, and it may be properly sighted in for a wide variety of loads. This is a considerable advantage over the original fixed-sight Wrangler.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"604\" height=\"576\" alt=\"checkered hammer spur on the Ruger Wrangler\" class=\"wp-image-89015 jetpack-lazy-image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Super-Wrangler-10.jpg?w=604&amp;ssl=1 604w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Super-Wrangler-10.jpg?resize=300%2C286&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Super-Wrangler-10.jpg?resize=150%2C143&amp;ssl=1 150w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Super-Wrangler-10.jpg?resize=604%2C576&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"604\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Super-Wrangler-10.jpg?resize=604%2C576&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"checkered hammer spur on the Ruger Wrangler\" class=\"wp-image-89015\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Super-Wrangler-10.jpg?w=604&amp;ssl=1 604w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Super-Wrangler-10.jpg?resize=300%2C286&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Super-Wrangler-10.jpg?resize=150%2C143&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption>The Wrangler\u2019s hammer is nicely serrated making for easy cocking. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Construction and Durability<\/h2>\n<p>As for the Super Wrangler\u2019s construction, it isn\u2019t quite a Single Six.

The action is at least as smooth as a Ruger Single Six that I had on hand for comparison. Trigger compression was a smooth 3.5 pounds. The Super Wrangler has all the makings of an accurate combination.<\/p>\n<p>I rounded up a good mix of .22 Long Rifle and .22 Magnum ammunition and gave the Super Wrangler a good workout. Most of the accuracy testing was conducted at 50 feet, just a bit past 15 yards, but more reasonable for most handguns than 25 yard testing.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<h4 style=\"color:#FF0000\"><strong>Load<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\n<h4 style=\"color:#FF0000\"><strong>Velocity (FPS)<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\n<h4 style=\"color:#FF0000\"><strong>5-Shot Group (inches)<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\u00a0<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\n<h3>.22 Long Rifle<\/h3>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Remington Thunderbolt<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">980<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1.4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Winchester M22<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">970<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1.5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Aquila 40-grains<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">955<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">2.0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>CCI Mini Mag<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1,001<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1.5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\n<h3>.22 Magnum<\/h3>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>CCI Mini Mag<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1,290<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1.25<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Winchester 40-grain FMJ<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1,199<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1.4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Armscor 40-grain<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1,325<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1.6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Hornady 45-grain Critical Defense<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1,255<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1.3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Sight regulation happily worked well enough when changing cylinders and using 40-grain loads in either caliber. I like the Super Wrangler a lot. For fun shooting, it is difficult to top a single-action .22 caliber revolver. I think this handgun has a bright future.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Ruger\u2019s Super Wrangler is sure to be at the top of any shooter\u2019s list, but how does compare to your favorite <em>pew-pew<\/em>?
