I have both. I bought a Rough Rider 1.5 years ago. I has been a great little plinker/range toy. I bought a Ruger Wrangler a few weeks ago, I took them to the range yesterday. OMG the Ruger is head and shoulders above the Rough Rider. Fit, finish, just the feel of the pistol is so much better in the Ruger then Rough Rider. Not saying the Rough Rider is bad but it is like comparing a Honda Vs a Lincoln. Both are reasonably accurate but the Ruger is more so. I love my Ruger.
