Another classic gun type. Ruger is doing well with the Marlin line of rifles and has now offered a new wheel gun to its lineup. There’s just something agreeable about the old classics. Ruger Super Wrangler line, including MSRP. Pretty neat! The Bronze Cerakote option looks a lot better in the video than the picture on the Ruger page.

Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. is pleased to introduce the Super Wrangler family of single-action revolvers. Building on the success of the affordably-priced Wrangler line introduced in 2019, the Super Wrangler features a robust steel cylinder frame and ships with two cylinders, allowing you to convert between inexpensive .22 LR ammunition and powerful .22 WMR ammunition.
Built on the legacy of the popular Ruger Single-Six, the Super Wrangler complements Ruger‘s rich history of producing quality, rugged, reliable single-action revolvers. The attractive price, combined with the affordability of rimfire ammunition, make this revolver ideal for learning to shoot, introducing friends or family to the sport, or just experiencing the fun of single-action shooting.
With the introduction of the Single-Six in 1953, Bill Ruger pioneered the use of modern investment casting in firearms manufacturing to usher in a new level of affordability in single-action revolvers. Through the use of modern CNC-machining methods and lean manufacturing techniques, the Super Wrangler continues this tradition and sets a new bar for affordability while maintaining the rugged reliability that is the hallmark of Ruger firearms.
Initially offered in three attractive Cerakote models – black, silver and bronze – the Super Wrangler features an adjustable target sight and 5.5-inch barrel. The standard checkered black grip panels can be swapped for Single-Six panels, allowing for a variety of customized options. The Super Wrangler will fit in Single-Six holsters that accommodate 5.5-inch barrels. Cylinders are unique to the Super Wrangler, and are not interchangeable with standard aluminum-frame Wrangler or Single-Six Convertible cylinders.

They made this before. I have a Ruger single with both cylinders in stainless steel. Good gun and one of my favorites. Might not look like this one but it does the job.

I have a nice Single-Six convertible. It shoots great, particularly in .22 mag.
It’s my least-shot handgun, though. .22 mag is almost as expensive as some centerfire rounds, and the thing is a PITA to load and unload.
When I want to blast away a couple hundred rounds of .22 LR my Glock 44 ALWAYS goes to the range. The lousy Internet reviews from 2019-2020 are all false — or they simply do not apply to current production guns. Love me that Glock 44, it shoots everything well.

Nice! I have one of these on my short list.
I have a 70’s manufactured Single Six with the conversion cylinder. I mainly use the .22 mag cylinder for CCI shot shells to take care of mice in the house. The .22 mag is also good for putting down larger sick or injured animals with a shot behind the ear – a lot less messy than a .357 mag (don’t ask).

I’m a fan of the .22 Magnum and having a companion sidearm that chambers the same round as your rifle is useful at times. I own a Heritage Arms birds gripped Shopkeeper and it functions well. Even came with a .22 Magnum cylinder. Fixed sights though – I wish it had adjustable rear sights.
My 1st handgun was the Ruger Super Single-Six 6 1/2″ gun. I love it. An adjustable sighted Wrangler in 4 5/8″ barrel sounds like its just my size. C’mon Ruger – I know you’re thinking about it.
Thanks for the update sir – this is good news.
