Value and fun share the same holster with the Ruger Wrangler. It is a Western-style single-action revolver with a 4.62-inch barrel, a black finish, and a six-shot cylinder. Ruger designed it for plinking, training, and trail walks.

The black finish keeps the gun looking neat after a season in a truck or tackle box. The size is comfortable for most hands, and the rimfire recoil is so light that kids and new shooters can enjoy a whole afternoon at the range.

Single-action shooting is a good habit builder. Pull the hammer back, line up the sights, squeeze the trigger. Loading and unloading take a moment, so the shooter learns to slow down and think. Around the farm, the Wrangler handles small pests at close range, and it makes a great first handgun for anyone curious about the Western style.

Keep the cylinder clean and lightly oiled. Carry with the hammer on an empty chamber. It ships to your FFL dealer, and the background check is completed there before you take it home.
