Was you alowed to keep them after last month ban ? Just curious and its a damn shame your self defence pistols were ban. I feel so bad for you guys i hope in future you get a leader that actually lets you have them back
Let’s be real hear folks , this is a very cheap rugged , reliable little Ruger 22LR plinker that will probably keep on working for decades into into the future with minimal Maintenance.
I have a blast with the two I have there both bronze with matching ruger holsters from ruger website and rosewood grips they hang in my gun room ruger is just awesome in my opinion
I think these make great plinkers, way better than the heritage revolvers, maybe not quite on par with the single six or colts, but a lot of bang for the buck for what you pay, thx for the vid.
ya the Heritage has the horrible safety catch apparently (not available here in Canada anyway). I don't want to pay for a stainless steel (single six) version, it's a thousand bucks . For an entry price of 300 Canadian for sure.
Hello to you me "down under" friend. Good review. I own the Wrangler and happy with it. Only fired about 50 rounds through it and I haven't began to determine what ammo it will like best. I have a variety of several brands and bullet weights that I'll get into. Think I'll try a bench rest test since I can't trust results to my hands. One thing you didn't like, the loading and unloading chore. You can pop those spent cartridges out quick and easy if you let gravity help you. That two step process you did is cumbersome. Hold the frame upright and you'll be bouncing the brass off your boot toes quickly when you get the hang of it! Thanks for a good review and "good on ya mate". (Yeah, I'm a bit corney. Just an old Paul Hogan fan here in Kentucky, USA)
I guess Ozzie, this Wrangler is for general plinking fun at a low cost, so if folks need.want a revolver for other than R&R then they're going to be disappointed. Ruger's done a good job here in bringing 'low cost' back to the buying public,...good job,..good review on this.
If you hold the revolver in your left hand, brace the handle against yourself or a table and user your right to give the lever the old "Paul Harrell slap", those cases pop right out. I have the heritage, with .22lr and .22 mag. It's not the easiest to shoot accurately, highlights every flaw in my shooting. Good training tool though and surprisingly accurate with some time behind it. Has done wonders for my shooting!
Sorry your Dictators have restricted the people to the point a .22L.R. pistol can only be used with more restrictions. I really feel bad for you in Australia and know I have to fight even harder as Anti-Gunners pound away on our Second Amendment Rights. Be Strong! U.S.A.
@@fuckcommunist1340 hey dude, you mean the Mauser m18 yeah? I think it is offered in .223 & .243 among other calibers but id say those two are great for new shooters in regards to low recoil/cost and versatility :)
reading the comments , I get the impression that you guys there in Australia have to jump through some ridicules hoops just to enjoy shooting a 22lr let alone anything bigger. honestly makes me angry . as someone from the states , every ozzie I've met has been super cool and it is infuriating to me to see you treated that way by those elites who think they know what's best for you. just saying!! on a less heavy note. loved the review , nice job , picking one of these up soon myself.
I used to have a Heritage Rough Rider which is the main competition for the Wrangler and at the time was the only budget .22 revolver option. I shot the crap out of that thing but I did get tired of the slow reload every 6 shots and eventually sold it.
The difficulty you had in reloading / unloading was mostly a result of you doing it arse about and wrong hand position.. Watch some of the cowboy shooters doing it, still not as quick as a double action revolver but twice as fast as you.
Good thing you can still get some form of handgun, but it stinks you have limited selection. I live in a restricted state in the US, and it's no where near as bad as where you are.
Have you ever been to a gun shop in Australia? It's not much different from a gun shop in California.. They just have to do way more paperwork and hoop jumping and waiting in Australia.
@@crankygunreviews Massachusetts is less restrictive than what? Anyway, I've been to a gun shop in Australia - was surprised to have stumbled upon one, and it wasn't very different from shops I've seen in California. Talked to the guy running it and he said it's possible to get most of the same things, it's just very much a chore. I did have to get buzzed in - it had magnetic door locks; people can't just waltz in and out.
Didn’t think you could use a CAT H on a farm? I’d suggest showing clearly in your video that your on an approved range otherwise it looks like your breaking the law
As I said in 2 other comments now, it’s an approved range where I had to sign in etc just as any other approved range. I also mention in every single cat h desktop review ‘let’s head out to the range now’ and who says it’s a farm? A lot of rural ranges are pretty basic and not like the ranges you find in the city
ozziereviews just some feedback mate on how it appears in the video. Which given you’ve had other similar comments it goes to show it doesn’t seem clear. You do a lot for the shooting community and the overall image of the sport. Just saying how it could be perceived. Keep up the good work
Dan F certainly point taken but I honestly would have thought that people who follow me would know that I’m hardly going to do anything illegal and especially on film
@@ozziereviews Thanks for the great review 👍 and great work Ruger people 👍 Now it is time for you to ignore people nagging you about the nice location. It is obvious at 9:05 you are shooting into a bunded area. Rural ranges are not fancy city or suburban area ranges.

I have two. I love them. The loading and poking out empties is part of the fun for me.
Spat out my bourbon when you mentioned the price didn't think I'd here a number so low for a revolver in AUD
i guess we are spoiled in canada where single action .22s are $200 cad which is pretty much the same as aud
We have one in here in Canada and works well for the money, solid build and smooth trigger.

Try CCI if Available. Better quality.

Love your work mate ! Please try and get a cz515 tactical if you can! I want your word on it because I take your word over anyone’s !
Yep it’s on the cards 👍
@@ozziereviews I'd appreciate your thoughts on it too. Thanks in advance.
i get the general impression from most videos is that the gun is accurate enough, but not by any means a laser.

I love my Wrangler. 179 plus tax in Virginia...USA
Hey Ozzie! Would love you to review the Mauser M18 if you ever get your hands on one, I have one in 308 and am really impressed with it.
Hey does it come in 22 I have looked and looked and can’t find one is their a Better Cal for New shooters
@@fuckcommunist1340 hey dude, you mean the Mauser m18 yeah? I think it is offered in .223 & .243 among other calibers but id say those two are great for new shooters in regards to low recoil/cost and versatility :)
@@jnclarke20 yeah I should get it because of the Action and the smooth bolt
I'm hoping you'll review the Stoeger STR M3000. Wondering how it stacks up to the competition
First!! Cool review Ozzie!
I thought Pistols were Illegal in Australia. Glad you have yours.
Must be a fed
@@donporter7623 America Here, no Feds wanted or allowed.
@@maddog57ful i was saying the guy who made this video must be a fed to have a fire arm
No just really hard to get not sure about qld but in nsw you have to be in a pistol club and leave the gun at the club
Hey Ozzie I would like to see a review of the Sauer 100 ceratech vs Tikka T3X stainless
New to shooting what kind of license do I need? Any info would be appreciate. About to get a 22lr rifle but this looks like allot of fun?
I looked at the wrangler before, but it was in all black.
PUNCH the empties out, don't "push em, and they will pop clear.

The heritage is 9 shots not six
the slow reload is what makes it fun for me
I want to know, what state are you in? as far as I was told you can only shoot pistols on an approved range!
It’s an approved private range, still had to sign in etc. all the same rules apply.
ozziereviews - awesome
I came to ask the same question :-)
ozziereviews is it your private range??? If so was it hard to get approved???
Federal 40 grains it is. Thanks!
Just gotta figure out how to get a pistol license and I’ll be getting one lol
Can you fan this from the hip?
Man i have one and the safety in the hammer keeps hitting the firwing pin
The difficulty you had in reloading / unloading was mostly a result of you doing it arse about and wrong hand position.. Watch some of the cowboy shooters doing it, still not as quick as a double action revolver but twice as fast as you.
Is it compatible with the Ruger single ten cylinders?
No the timing is different for a ten shot cylinder
NO
I see them for sale $350 to $420...pretty cheap.
Triple shot it
Thank god zombies are slow 😂🤣

@@barfo281 less restrictive than California and New Jersey, New York, Chicago...
did not think this was legal on a home range, under the impression handguns could only used on licensed ranges. not being a smart arse just uniformed.
It’s an approved private range, still had to sign in etc. all the same rules apply.
Thanks for that, from one of the many very uninformed licensed shooters.
@@steveearley6365 Depending on where you live and if you give the right donations. The registrar might add a condition to your license.
LOOKS GOOD...FEELS GOOD...DOESN'T SHOOT WORTH A DAMN...NOT EVEN A GOOD PLINKER.....MIGHT MAKE A GOOD PAPER WEIGHT BUT IT'S NOT A SHOOTER...!

A very disappointed gun .they look nice but shoot terrible. Junk.
