What a way to waste $150 | Unboxing Ruger Wrangler .22LR

[@jameswilliamson3404]

you bought a lemon, congrats, contact heritage and they will take care of it. I've owned my rough rider for 15 years and never had one issue. You think ruger hasn't sent out a lemon every now and again lol?

[@Tacticalsnowflake]

I’m pumped you have a solid one! That’s fantastic. We bought two and they are both pretty bad. I wrote off lemon, but it’s entirely possible. I contacted them, they were solid. There’s a situation where I can’t send it back. Warranty had expired now. How often do you take it out? I absolutely love how accurate this thing is. I’m actually quite depressed about it. I’m considering changing out the cylinder. Thoughts? Do you think that would help? I think since it is having light strikes that it might be just ever so slightly misaligned.

[@jameswilliamson3404]

​@@Tacticalsnowflake a new cylinder could be the issue, maybe tolerance stacking caught you, all the parts are made within a certain range of tolerance, which is why you can just go buy a new cylinder or a .22 wmr cylinder separately, they aren't matched to your specific gun. If you continue to just get light strikes, which just happen with .22 weapons over time. most people would say try a different brand of ammo, as some are harder to ignite the rimfire compound than others. If i were you I would shim the area between the mainspring and the frame. it will increase how hard it is to pull the hammer back, but is your best permanent solution for fixing those light strikes.

[@sniperofbuffalo]

The reason yours is good and reliable is because apparently you got yours before Taurus bought the company in 2012

[@jakematthewpenfield]

Love my rough rider shoots great never had a issue

[@Tacticalsnowflake]

That makes me happy for you. I want everyone to have the best experience they can. I want no one to experience what I have been going through. It’s a waste.

[@woodystube1000]

The Wrangler is on a different planet than the Heritage. What a great pistol Ruger is producing at that price!

[@Tacticalsnowflake]

Oh yeah? Bru I am so pumped to get it out and try it now! That’s gonna be so so sick.

[@jakerose3677]

The ruger just looks like it’s better quality overall. Great video!

[@Tacticalsnowflake]

It feels really good too. We should hit the range and you will dig it too.

[@paulkopacz5051]

I don't disagree but I would like to know what ammo you were using? .22 caliber, especially the cheap bulk pack stuff is notorious for poor quality. I have a Heritage myself and I agree it's not the best but it's not terrible. I only buy CCI Mini Mags or Stingers, Eley, SK and I want to try some Federal Punch. The only thing I don't like about the Ruger is the free spinning cylinder and only when unloading. You have no audible "Clicks" to let you know the chamber is lined up with the ejector rod. I think the Ruger Single Six would be the way to go but of course it costs quite a bit more. Screws coming lose on ANY 1873 clone is the norm, even on my Vaquero so you did the right thing in using lock tight, blue I hope.

[@Tacticalsnowflake]

My goodness! The free spinning is going to drive me insane. I really liked the “true” single action with the four clicks of the Heritage. Hopefully I can get it fixed down the road. As far as ammo goes, I have burned through all the brands that I could get my hands on in Utah. Grain, brand, style none of them seemed to make much of a difference. Cheap ammo is the worst, but it’s a bummer when the cheap ammo goes through another gun just fine and fails with one, ya know?

[@Tacticalsnowflake]

Oh, and yes, blue lock tight.

[@paulkopacz5051]

@@Tacticalsnowflake I hope you can work it out and get it fixed but do the work yourself. There are mods for the Rough Rider on YT that should fix the issue. I read through the comments and someone mentioned getting a new cylinder. Well, if you don't already have one, get the .22 Magnum cylinder. I highly doubt there is anything wrong with your original .22 LR cylinder. It may be that the hammer is getting hung up on the face of the frame, a few swipes with a file could remedy that. Right now I'm working on a Great Western Arms 1873 SAA (The very first Colt clone) that had all kinds of issues. Broken firing pin, broken hand spring, bent Trigger and bolt pins, the bolt not entering the recesses on the cylinder, the chambers not releasing the empty cases, excessive end shake (cylinder movement for and aft). I have addressed all of those issues myself and now I have a very cool and functional .357 1873 Colt clone. I also had to make a grip out of an 1851 Colt grip, turned out pretty nice. I'm an armature but I've done this since I was able to hold a gun. I know you can do it.

[@Azobassify]

I've had a Ruger New Model Single Six with both .22LR and .22WMR cylinders for years now and it is a great gun... no reason to even consider a Heritage or even the Ruger Wrangler. However, if I was in the market for one at this price range now, I would go with the Ruger all day long. Well worth the $50+/- more... Not surprised to hear of these problem on the Rough Rider... It looks cheap!

[@Tacticalsnowflake]

It for sure was super cheap, and by no means worth it. Impulse buy at its finest. I have heard nothing but good things about those Single Six models! I am glad you like yours. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

[@chillios2222]

the super 6 is the best ,she should be called super, i was gonna say the Wrangler is not crazy expensive, i mean 50 dollars u can save even on a low budget in a month

[@Tacticalsnowflake]

Oh yeah, I should have gone Wrangler out of the gate. Just was at a store on a weekend with a friend and around $100 seemed to good to pass up for the Rough Rider. I should have passed it up.

[@Azobassify]

@@Tacticalsnowflake At $150 it's easy to do, I'm surprised I didn't impulsively by now. Now a won't, thanks to your review here. Appreciate it! My Single six was actually my mothers.

[@turbochargeit]

Agreed on the whole, if you're going to sell that firearm you shouldn't be falling apart on you... I don't mess with revolvers, but that's crazy frustrating. Nuts that just a little more $$$ renders such a better result.

[@Tacticalsnowflake]

Ya ya, totally agree. I get it that it is a cheaper model, but for heck’s sake. It should be able to at least work long term. I kinda messed up on being able to send it back. Long story. Revolvers are kind of a fun option.

[@davidbaldwin1018]

I have these exact two guns, they are my favorites. Bought the rough rider and used it for several years before buying any other guns. Never a problem. The Ruger was my fathers who just passed away. I got to use it 50 years ago and never had a problem, now it's mine.

[@Tacticalsnowflake]

How amazing! I love LOVE hearing that you got a legacy gun. That is truly an incredible thing. What an amazing thing to have. I hope that you are able to pass that down one day as well. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I really appreciate your time.

[@JamieJohnson-q3f]

Howmuch for the one that didnt work

[@Tacticalsnowflake]

It retails for $159 I believe. I bought it for $120 with a $30 rebate a couple years ago.

[@totalradicalness]

I have 2 Heritages and theyve worked flawlessly for over 1000 rounds each

[@Tacticalsnowflake]

That is awesome! I am seriously thrilled that you have had a good experience. We bought two the same day and the other is having similar issues to this one, but not nearly as extreme. There is nothing worse than not being able to use something you bought, so I am very pleased that both yours are still rocking solid friend.

[@steccol85]

Love those garage cabinets where did you get those? Also the heritage is a POS compared to the Ruger.

[@Tacticalsnowflake]

They are from New Age and I highly recommend. Wait for a sale because they seem to have them a lot. The whole setup wasn’t that expensive.

[@FrederickBrown-p3t]

The heritage triggers feels like you're dragging a 2x4 through the mud.

[@Tacticalsnowflake]

That, my friend, was a hilarious and relatable example. Thank you. I went out and shot it today. Video should drop next week.

[@snipervictim]

I bought a heritage and 6 days later it was broken and then bought a Ruger and been happy ever since . I guess I should not be shocked after all a 120 bucks is all a spent so i got taught a lesson !

[@Tacticalsnowflake]

What broke on yours? Now I must know because folks are quite upset. I have been accused of only having a lemon, but we bought two that day and they are both having issues. I don’t think that it is a lemon problem.

[@Tacticalsnowflake]

I totally get that I was a bit harsh on the Heritage Rough Rider, but it’s just been a bad experience overall. Heritage as a company was really solid to deal with. There were impediments on being able to send it back.

[@acbyspeedy]

that wrangler has a smaller trigger gaurd i havent had any issuses with the heritage and it has a mag wheel as well

[@k24civic]

Ive shot thousands of rounds thru multiple heritages……..you got a lemon

I genuinely hope so. It’s good to hear that someone has had a good experience. Thanks for sharing.

[@LearnToSurvive574]

[@Tacticalsnowflake]

I highlighted two here. Curious which one you think is the greatest.

[@jaysunfromthesea7760]

I have the same gun but I have the 16-in barrel version It was $100 more but I have no issues with it thankfully I've put maybe 300 rounds through it the only problem I had is with the federal ammunition

[@Tacticalsnowflake]

So that first day I did 700 rounds and I’ve done maybe another 300 or 400 rounds since. I dig the bold move of a 16” barrel. I’m sure that thing is as accurate as it can be. That’s awesome.

[@paulmarshall3099]

Hammer springs are known to have issues with the heritage

[@Tacticalsnowflake]

I did put some added pressure on mine and it made no difference. Was very pumped when I found that in Reddit.

Yeah I would pick a Ruger over a Heritage any day of the week although we do have both in the family and they both work very well

Maybe they made them different back then?

I’m also glad that you are enjoying yours.

[@milesstover3724]

I have beautiful wood grips on my black Wrangler, such a fun and well-functioning pistol. Ruger is not a bad company, they really dont make very much bad stuff if almost ever. I think the overall market reception of the Wrangler has been really positive overall. If you got a better running serial number you would probably love the gun, like others have said this stinks of a lemon situation more than a fundamentally bad gun or design

[@Tacticalsnowflake]

I’m pumped to get up to the range and test out the Wrangler. That Rough Rider was so dang accurate so I hope going with an inch longer barrel is that much better. I just wish the Rough Rider was more reliable. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

[@josephbrian4518]

Sucks you got a dud. It happens with cheap guns. I got my Heritage RR for $89 before covid and it's always been reliable. Not sure about their warranty but never hurts to ask

[@Tacticalsnowflake]

I actually worked with Heritage on the warranty, before the 1 year ran out. There was a situation on it that made it not work out. Long story. Mine was $90 with a rebate from Heritage. It sucks that it has fallen apart because it is so dang accurate. Do you love yours?

[@michiganmikeupnorth]

That was a good buy.

[@josephbrian4518]

My 9 year old daughter loves her Ruger Wrangler. She is now to the point she wants a semi auto .22. Lol

[@Tacticalsnowflake]

My 9 year old has loved the Heritage and he picked out the 7 1/2 Wrangler. We have a wide array of calibers, but it’s always nice to have a few 22lrs for those simple range days. The semi autos are fantastic and they love them, but I think trigger control is taught with single action triggers and the patience bolt guns and revolvers teach.

[@sniperofbuffalo]

Heritage is owned by Taurus, that's all you need to know to stay away from them.

[@thegreenman2030]

I’ve been collecting firearms for a few decades now, starting with military surplus then moving into all manner of firearms. The biggest piece of garbage I’ve ever bought was a Heritage. For everyone that says they have one with 10 billion rounds through it there’s 2 to 3 people saying they have a lemon. For those that say just send it in, well the fact that you have to pay shipping both ways in order for them to repair their shoddy work your looking at $70 to $80.00 for the round trip so on a $120.00 gun it’s just not worth it.

[@Tacticalsnowflake]

I wish that YT had some type of direct messaging system. I would absolutely love to hear about this collection of yours. I would never ask you to out that collection out of the open web though. It sounds so epic. Thanks for going to bat for me with that other commenter. Sending a piece of garbage back like this is not worth shipping and handling even once.

[@robertbigguntv9972]

Why don't you just send the gun back to the factory? The fix it for you for free.It's an inconvenience.I know but there really good guns for the money

[@Tacticalsnowflake]

Tried it. There is an issue and I am not able to send it back. It is super accurate though.

[@elsullo2]

Did you try opening the side panel and LUBING the contact points and moving parts? Usually guns are shipped DRY except maybe with some heavy grease to rustproof the gun for long shelf life. A simple clean and lube of a brand new gun, as was standard practice in "olden tymes," easily avoids many complaints. And I do not mean with WD-40!..............................elsullo

Awesome! I have a list of purchases to make over the long haul. A classic .45 wheel gun is on the list. There is something timeless about wheel guns that I just can’t get over. As a training piece, they are kind of not able to be replaced too. There is something about single shot that teaches patience and the need for quality of shot vice quantity of shot.

Please tell me how to fix it cheaper than the $48 more I spent on the Wrangler over the Rough Rider. I really do like the Heritage so I am all ears for fixing it.

[@zer0deaths862]

I've bought 4 different heritage revolvers in the last 10 years. All failed miserably and fell apart and even springs inside broke rendering it useless. Ruger is a massive improvement over the Heritage, they have turned into pure shit. I do have an old Heritage, its worked flawlessly for 70+ years. Definitely not what they used to be. Its disturbing.

[@Tacticalsnowflake]

I’m so glad to hear that it wasn’t just me. It is so frustrating that you can’t rely on a manufacturer. Again, cost shouldn’t be that big of a thing. MSRPs aren’t that far off but the quality seems to be. Sometimes, a budget gun is all you can afford. Buying a gun and having it fail has to be the most depressing thing. Thanks for watching and taking the time to watch the video. Means a lot.

[@zer0deaths862]

@p4srandom oh no, you're definitely not the only one, almost everyone I met who has bought one has had the damn thing fall apart too. I tried the whole calling the Customer Service thing which was very unproductive and obviously a joke. Warranty is useless. You will inevitably spend $400-$500 taking the time and effort just to have a functional .22 revolver after spending a ridiculous amount of time and money "fixing" it. In the end, I've deduced that spending a little extra for the Ruger will end up saving your ass a good headache, a few hundred bucks and about 6-8 months of your life including shipping and handling. I've been on a mission warning people about Heritage Rough Riders for years now because of it. I've heard time and again "yOu GoT a LeMoN" well, these bastards are in the Lemon tree business it seems. -🇺🇲

[@Tacticalsnowflake]

That “you got a lemon” rant is starting to get old. I’m 100% with you that it probably isn’t worth the time and effort. It is so frustrating that it won’t just work. I have my range day on this posting Monday. Hopefully you dig the Ruger Wrangler test.

Holy dang! It’s good to know. Did you put any loctite (sorry on spelling) to resolve the issue or just constantly check?

[@tbjtbj4786]

I am a dyslexic from a southern school 40 years ago. So spelling dont mean much. On the colts and ruger no. Would not take the chance on and they didn't get shot much. The ruger with steel and aluminum components no just check them that gun has a bit of serious use hog trap gun. The heartage and the Italian ones no lock tight superglue. Mid 90's to early 00s. I got it from a old gunsmith tight it . Then use the glue on the head not the threads. That way you can heat it up to remove it. I am not suggest anyone to use that. It worked for me. But if you mess up its superglue so could cause problems. Also have a few rifles and the scope mount screws were done the same and on my ruger they stayed put since 97

I think I only have one other one. I do believe that I want to try a new cylinder in the Heritage. It’s an incredibly fun revolver and accurate.

[@tylertapp131]

@p4srandom i appreciate your response and respect for my opinion brotha. What i mean by real single action is, one actually made to spec of the originals as far as functionality goes. The heritage is closer to a colt then the rugers, even the big bore, but not quality and I understand that. The real single actions have to be put into half cock, two clicks, to free up the cylinder and are 4 clicks. Its minor but if you practice on those, which i grew up on them and go to a ruger it could potentially lead to saftey issues. I have many single actions and if they're not 4 click guns and have to be put into half cock to load i dont wanna mess with em. Just personal preference to have the same manual of arms across the board no matter the brand, god bless brotha from ole Carolina.

The Heritage would be fine if you sent it back, but you keep saying (in the comments) that there is an "impediment" to doing so.. either you can't pass a background check, aren't a US citizen or are living somewhere that doesn't allow guns?? Not the manufactures fault, and I'd bet you can still order replacement parts... plenty of examples of people having similar issues and most were simple fixes (new cylinder, hammer spring etc).. of course the Ruger is better, for 3x the price! I have both, no issues with either ( I just got the Heritage this summer, so only 100 rounds or so?)

[@Tacticalsnowflake]

Whoa whoa whoa, DO NOT throw around accusations about why I can’t send it back. Especially about me not being a US Citizen or can’t pass a background check. That is a pretty serious conclusion to jump to and I don’t appreciate the false dichotomy. I bought it legally with cash from an FFL. The only receipt I had from the purchase w/ the serial number didn’t have my name on the receipt also. Simple as. I did state that I am going to order a new cylinder. I am just quite highly annoyed that it failed in the first place. I do appreciate you watching and reading through the comments. I’m glad that you bought a Heritage though. It seems that so many have loved them. I put a couple hundred rounds through the first day, probably 1K the first weekend. Just bummed it failed. I’ll order that new cylinder and post a follow up. I LOVE the Rough Rider for the accuracy. Can’t state that enough. I was devastated that it started failing so soon.

The wrangler. It was a huge let down

[@Tacticalsnowflake]

Really? That’s good to watch out for bru. Thanks for the heads up. How soon after did it start happening?

[@RoyceAubuchon]

@@Tacticalsnowflake damn near straight outta the box. I fired 1 hit my target, pulled hammer back to dispatch target with 2 shot and cylinder jam. I've always trusted Ruger until that happened.

[@Tacticalsnowflake]

Holy cow! That sucks super bad bru. I’m nervous that it is going to do that to me. My range day video is drops on Monday. Can I ask a favor of you? Would you be willing to watch it and let me know what you think? I am new to this style of content and I really dig making it. Holding that folks are liking it.

They'd love to fix that, call them.

In order for Heritage to perform their warranty work they require the owner to pay for shipping both ways. That runs between $60 and $80.00 these days making it not worth doing on a $100-$120.00 gun.

[@Tacticalsnowflake]

I’m with the other commenter and there was another issue that I couldn’t get it back to them during the warranty. I’m still debating trying to work on another cylinder or something to see if I can fix it on my own. I do like the revolver.

[@Tacticalsnowflake]

I’m 100% with you.

[@blade8734]

I love my wrangler

[@Tacticalsnowflake]

That is awesome! I haven’t been able to take mine out near enough. Cold weather has been a punk.

I have been a firearms dealer for 20 years and I don't think you know what you're doing.

[@Tacticalsnowflake]

Thank you firearms dealer of 20 years. I appreciate the time you took to watch the video and comment. I know that those things take time and it is appreciated. Any specific advice other than you don’t believe I know what I am doing?
