The Ruger Wrangler delivers reliable rimfire performance with distinctive burnt bronze Cerakote finish that sets it apart from standard black revolvers. This single-action revolver combines classic western styling with modern manufacturing precision for recreational shooting and small game hunting.
What Makes This Different
The burnt bronze Cerakote barrel and frame finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional bluing while creating a distinctive two-tone appearance with the black Cerakote cylinder. The 7.5-inch cold hammer-forged barrel delivers enhanced accuracy over shorter barrel variants, with the extra length providing better sight radius and muzzle velocity. Checkered polymer grips offer consistent grip texture in all weather conditions without the maintenance requirements of wood grips.
Key Features
- Cold hammer-forged 7.5-inch barrel with burnt bronze Cerakote finish for durability

Field performance shows consistent accuracy with various .22 LR loads, from standard velocity target rounds to high-velocity hunting ammunition. The longer barrel length maximizes velocity potential of rimfire cartridges while reducing muzzle blast. The single-action design provides a lighter, more consistent trigger pull than double-action alternatives, making it suitable for precision shooting applications and introducing new shooters to revolver fundamentals.
