Ruger Wrangler Vs Heritage Arms Rough Rider 22lr sa's

[Charlie]

I bought a H&R 40 years ago (at least!) to shoot rats, snakes, and other critters on some family acreage South of Waco. It shoots CBs, rat shot, long rifle, shorts etc. and came with a 7 1/2" barrel and a magnum cylinder. Back then it was way under $100. It was cheap but it's been a very reliable gun. I'm not sure if they even make them anymore.

ETA: I "think" it was a Model 949.

Ruger has the experience to build their own single actions. They have becom4e my go-to company. S&W used be my number 1, but they stay in the anti-gun occupied northeast and all they make for the rest of us are plastic knockoffs. I'm speaking of us that don't have to have every new whiz bang thing that the Army or the FBI has ordained. When I hold a Ruger I can feel quality at a fair price.

Let me help you out here. Plastic is that softer stuff that you can’t weld on.

I was told all they make is plastic.

No one knows. How much .22 WMR do you actually shoot through a revolver like that?

I probably won't shoot much .22 wmr, but that's what will be carried in it MOST of the time.

I believe the .22 wmr to be an acceptable self defense round - far above the .22 lr. When camping, hiking, bumming around the property, I don't feel too vulnerable with the 22 wmr.

Au contrare. Plastic can be welded.

 

[Vaquero]

I had one of these. Yes, it welded plastic together.

I have 4 Rough Riders and 2 Single Sixes. About all I shoot in them is .22WMRs.
But I would buy a Wrangler anyway.

Nice guns

Y'all just need a S&W 17.
I'd buy a Wrangler in a heartbeat over the Heritage, at twice the price. Where's the thread about the Heritage the guy bought with no rifling in the barrel?

Nice guns

Thank you. I carry the .45 most times, but carry the .357 at times when I wear my motorcycle jacket that has a front gun pocket.

How dare you recommend a Model 17.

I know you. You are just going to shoot it single action anyways.

You make me sick.

They are in different galaxies (no Fo*d pun intended) and the makers of each aren't even competing which each other.

Is it colder in the winter or in the mountains?

Exactly

When I read the title of the thread, my thought was well this is a no brainer.

Yes.

I don't think Ruger is worried too much about Heritage, being that Ruger is the top handgun manufacturer in the U.S.A.

 

[double bogey]

I bought 3 of the rough riders when Academy had them on sale last Christmas for $99.95. They are birthday gifts for my grandkids. I had a single six back in the 80's, and they are much better pistols, but the heritage is perfect for a youths first handgun.
I wouldn't give them one of my MKIII auto's, I couldn't afford to keep them in ammo. They will get them when I'm gone, preferably a little before.

I bought a Ruger Wrangler a few weeks ago...

Nice... I hadn't really looked into these until now.
These Colt SA "mini clones" are cool, but I wish someone would make a Webley one.

And Hondas are much better cars than Lincolns!

Maybe for weebs and boiracers. I can only think of four Hondas (cages that is) I'd ever want over their entire brand lifetime. I'd take just about any Lincoln over a Honda for a daily driver.
