Worst Rugers I own

Fit and finish seem good until you try to operate the action, stiff is an understatement. After oiling and working the action it became usable and then you load it.. back to square one with rounds dragging with every turn of the cylinder. Accuracy is unacceptable especially for beginners looking to learn fundamentals and build confidence. Will be sending them back to Ruger. For the price could of had Heritage with dual cylinders. If you want a noise maker that that shoots lead in general direction the Wrangler is the ticket.

Poor accuracy

Well, I actually bought a Wrangler, and Ive fired it extensively. Its a good looking single action. I bought the silver color (painted) model. I found an inexpensive leather Desantis holster for it; about $30.00. The only issue is lack of accuracy. Shooting standing or resting my wrists on sand bags, the Wrangler doesnt really shoot groups. It shoots patterns and not tight patterns. At 7 yards, I get groups about 4. At 15 yards its throwing groups around 12. At 25 yards Im lucky to have a few on the paper. I really want to like it because it looks good and handles good. It just isnt accurate! Do your own research, and youll find similar reports. Im not going to give it a good review based on the brand name. Its an awful gun.
