When the trigger is not engaged, the transfer bar is in the down position, shown above. Like many other firearms, the Wrangler uses a transfer bar safety mechanism (located behind the firing pin in the picture above). The trigger pull of the Wrangler was fairly crisp, breaking at a consistent 5 pounds 5 ounces, a little heavy for a single action revolver, but not bad at all considering the price point. The molded hammer has an nicely shaped spur. With the loading gate open, the shooter can slide the cylinder out of the frame. Depressing this button allows the pin to be removed. Behind the barrel, note the take down button running perpendicular to the cylinder pin. The barrel and ejector rod housing are both Cerakoted steel. I suspect this would be a primary wear area during extended use. The breechface area of the inside of the frame is aluminum alloy and does not appear to have a steel insert. The steel, 6-shot removable cylinder is blued, while the rest of the gun is Cerakoted. With the exception of the hammer forged barrel and the cylinder, the majority of the parts appear to be either cast or metal-injection molded. Note the use of TORX® drive screws holding the frame together, not something I would typically expect to encounter on a single-action revolver. To meet the Wrangler’s competitive price point, Ruger blended modern manufacturing techniques with an old design. The 30 ounce gun has what appears to be a cast aluminum alloy frame/parts with a steel cylinder (blued) and barrel. The Wrangler is available in three different colors, Black Cerakote (Model 2002), Silver Cerakote (Model 2003) and Burnt Bronze Cerakote (Model 2004). Introduced as a less expensive version of the Single-Six, the Wrangler is a single-action 22 long rifle revolver that has an MSRP that’s just under $250! We’ve had a few come into the store, so I grabbed one to get a better look.

When I first heard about Ruger’s Wrangler, I was intrigued.
