Ruger | Wrangler | 22 LR | Black Cerakote

The Wrangler brought a genuinely affordable single‑action .22 to market by leaning on aluminum and zinc castings plus metal‑injection‑molded parts, cutting cost without cutting the core Ruger single‑action mechanism that's backed the company's reputation for decades. It shares the same general profile and transfer‑bar safety as Ruger's more expensive single‑actions, fires standard .22 LR from a 6‑round unfluted cylinder, and is available across barrel lengths from 3.75 to 7.5 inches (with a bird's‑head grip option on the shortest). A real single‑action revolver at a genuinely entry‑level price, not a toy dressed up to look like one.
