A quick review of the Ruger Wrangler Birdshead. Intro: 0:00-1:02 Features and Loading: 1:02-3:56 Shooting: 3:56-5:29 Disassembly: 5:29-6:12 Accuracy Test: 6:12-8:53 Outro: 8:53-9:26
I just watched your Bond Arms Stinger/Federal Punch .22lr video, and commented that I was interested in the velocities and penetration you achieved with that so I could apply the information to my Ruger Wranglers. Then, lo and behold, I see YT suggested this video of yours. I don't always trust YT's Al Gore Rhythm, but in this case it worked well. ;-) Like I said in my comments in your other video, I have both the standard and Birdshead models of the Wrangler. My Birdshead is the TALO edition, with the wood grip panels, the Cobalt Cerakote finish, which also came with a DeSantis Wild Hog Field & Range holster. It's as cute as the Dickens, a great rig, and I think I like it even better than the standard model, though I'm quite fond of that one, too. These are primarily plinkers for me, not CCWs, per se. That said, I *have* concealed carried the Birdshead before. I spent an afternoon with my grandchildren, even roughhousing with them in their living room, and they never knew I was carrying.
I actually have an article on different field loads. I used the Wrangler for those tests. I like the birdshead Wrangler and it might be the ticket for a house gun if it is something anyone can operate and handle. gunmagwarehouse.com/blog/22-lr-trail-loads/
I really want a Bearcat again but it is simply too small for my hands to really hit with. I think this Wrangler Birdshead is a good in between the Six and the Bearcat.
@@professorpewpuew nice video! i have one of each and like each one differently. i really wish that ruger would make a “wrangler bearcat,” i.e. alloy, lighter and cheaper.
excellent video your mic quality is better at picking up gunshots than most. I'd love to see you do a video comparing these to the new Diamondback Sidekick. I haven't picked one up yet but it's finally the affordable .22 revolver I've always wanted because the whole cylinder swings out to reload/dump shells instead of having to load one by one like the Heritage and Wrangler
I have an older video on the original Wrangler that touches more on that since I shot it side by side with a Heritage. I think the Heritage has a lighter trigger pull, but overall, the sights and the lack of a manual safety has me sold on the Ruger. The sights arent much to look at but I think they are cleaner and easier to see the targets you are aiming at.
@@professorpewpuew there's a newer version of The Heritage that has fiber optic sites, that might swing the ball back in its favor. Thanks for your answer.
We went with the Heritage for the .22wmr cylinder and competitive price...both brands have their good/bad points...the diamondback tries to combine the best features, but it begins to get away from the old fashioned operation of the wrangler and rough rider...
