Ruger Wrangler

[Sharps '74]

Would be sooo much better if made of steel ......

 

[Ironheart]

These almost look "plastic"

But I do like them as well as the price

 

[wayupnorth]

lets not pretend that these are gonna be even remotely similar gun as the single six (ten).
these are gonna be a 2nd cousin 3 times removed.
a simple knock off to get some of the cheap market from Heritage and Chiappa.

that said im gonna buy one to compare against my Heritage and my Single Six!

 

[tjsudbury]

Hate painted guns but for the price this can't be beat

Don't care what alloy the grip frame is made from, as long as it looks good.

looks like, from the specs, that the entire frame is made of aluminum, not just the grip frame

 

[Kosmonument]

Cheap funtime range gun. Ain't nothin' wrong with that.

 

[jojo]

Is anyone selling these up here yet?

 

[Can-down]

I like the old single six's the best.... they are hard to resist on the E.E. when they pop up for a similar price to the new Wrangler.
This one below is not mine and would likely fetch a bit more due to it's condition.

we wont see these until later this year at the earliest.
usually takes a solid 6-8 months before new stuff starts to trickle up.

 

[BBKKCC]

Here is mine.

 

[wayupnorth]

ya i saw 2 black ones the other day.
if i see a FDE one ill pick one up for sure.

 

[sixty9santa]

BBKKCC, what grips are those?
I'm also waiting on the burnt bronze models.

 

[BBKKCC]

They a the new model single six grips from Hogue

 

[BBKKCC]

Took it out today and it was a blast to shoot.

These make Norinco look good. I'm surprised that Ruger would lower themselves.

Have you checked out a Norinco 1911 in the last ten year. Fit and finish equals most American made ones. Honest!

Yes...yes I have, and no...no they don't.
The newer Norks are garbage, full of MIM guts, poorly machined internals, lousy investment when there are Turk and Philippines guns for very little more.
The old all forged GI guns were decent.

 

[BBKKCC]

It feels nice in your hand. If it was stronger than 22lr I would not buy. But for a gun that cost me 285. This is worth more for plinking fun.

Doesn't feel cheap in hand feels very nice with grips upgraded

 

[mike reynolds]

Too bad they wont make a new vaquero in 22lr
38 is close enough i guess

Something tells me you've been out shot by a Norinco 1911, with your high ender.

I've had several over the years, trigger pull user to be a bear, but they're much better now.

And the fit and finish is very good. I have a 1911 Sport that will shoot a ragged hole at 10 yds.

Still are forged, and I never look at the inards to investigate the machining there.

Yes, they do. And the NZ85 is darn nice too.

Yea, right.
