Two questions: 1) Where are Wranglers made?
2) Why do you think Ruger doesn't make a 5.5" Wrangler?

The Ruger website says they're made in Prescott AZ, and 6.5" & 7.5" versions have recently been released...No clue why a 5.5" hasn't?..But the Wranger's have obviously been selling well, so there's probably a good chance that could happen down the road.

I was happy with the wrangler when it came out, I screwed a holster yo my zero turn so that there was always a pistol handy while mowing when I lived in the swamp out east of Houston. It came in handy several times. Hell of a handgun at that price point. I just left it in the holster while it was in garage, cerecoat kept it from turning into a bucket of rust and I kept the thing cleaned every other week. Way better than the heritage offering and it’s a ruger!

A 16" carbine version similar to the Heritage Rancher would completely bottom out the needle on my coolness meter...🤞

My 2 Wranglers are the original 4.62". I have other Single Sixes, Single Tens, Blackhawks and Vaqueros with 3.75, 6, 7.5 and 9" barrels. The 4.62 is simply the best barrel length as far as balance and handling.

It's fun to have a collection, but the 4.62 is optimum, IMHO.

I hope you folks get better accuracy than I get with my Wrangler. I can‘t leave a hole in an 8 x 10 sheet of paper if I shoot a five shot group. The first shot will make a hole, but the following four will go through the first hole, sucking the paper in behind it. By the time the fifth shot is fired, the vacuum of the bullet will completely close the hole by sucking the paper in behind it. 🤥

Send it back, and maybe they can fix it.

Hey gr8guns, I believe changing to acid-free paper targets will solve this problem. Plus, it's better for the environment, and isn't that really what it's all about? :oops:
