Kicking around this in a .22 mag. Any input is appreciated.

Or maybe this?

I like the old west gun

I think the wrangler is a good gun and I almost bought one myself once. Only thing that held me back was the diamondback sidekick and if I had to choose between the two I'd go with the sidekick. Unless something has been updated with the wrangler since I last looked, it was either .22 (wrangler) or .22 mag (super wrangler). The diamondback comes with interchangeable cylinders with the purchase of the gun so you can swap out whenever. Other thing that leaned me toward the diamondback if I remember right, it is a double action where the wrangler is only single (unless that's changed). And since I was looking for a good snake gun I thought double action may be more beneficial in those "high stress" situations lol. I've also held the diamondback side by side with the wrangler and it wasn't lacking for quality. So if you want the wrangler I'd say you're still making a good purchase, but if you want more versatility for your money, maybe keep your eye out for the diamondback instead. Hope that helps!

I bought one in December. I like it so far. Both 22lr/22mag cylinders included and adjustable sight. Double action would be nice. I didn't want the Wrangler because of the fixed sights. One drawback is the front sight (at least for me). It's pretty wide. It would be a little more accurate with a little thinner ramp with a contrasting color on it.

I can say it is FAR cheaper than the J frame Smith 22 mag I bought this week.

So, you bought another kayak anchor?

I like my wrangler but the sights leave a little to be desired

I looked at a super wrangler last week , I hear you on the front post is a little wide for that rear notch , I feel like it is a part borrowed from something with another 2 inches of barrel to put some light on each side of the front ramp.

on the other hand it is held on with a screw so the only thing keeping it there is a screw
looks like Williams has a set of sights that fit probably not long till someplace else does also.

if your looking at a 22mag pistol to get more power , it is a bit negligible in that barrel length.

22mag really shines in a longer barrel

it depends what your looking for

if that is more power then let the 22mag shine in the longer barrel

if your looking for a pistol , the super wrangler does get you better sights than the wrangler even if you use the 22lr cylinder

I would be curios the accuracy of the 22lr in the barrel that is .224 not .223 but probably not too much of an issue.

You seem to be under the illusion that I have a purpose for this purchase.
I was just thinkin' I haven't bought a gun, lately.

I’m not a revolver guy, but the boys bought me a Wrangler for Christmas a few years ago and that gun don’t miss. I can hit a snake in the head at 5yds with ease and I’ve shot a hog at 25yds just to see if I could (Yeah, had a backup, lol) but that pig dropped in tracks with an ear hole shot. Snuck in on them.
Great gun for what I use it for…mainly a truck/trap/burn gun. I haven’t babied it at all and she looks as good as the day they bought it. Mine is only a regular .22. Sights are what they are, but they’re on!

Editing to mention they make a holster strictly for the Wrangler and it holds it right and tight.

They are decent guns for the money they could be better but for that price very good gun

A 22mag would sure be nice.

Awww, that was nice of you to buy me a late birthday present buddy!

How did you know? That thing should be a hoot on Spring beaver! Model 51 I believe, 3.5 inch.

I think about uses or if it was just because I would be thinking something historic military peice.
but that is just me
lately if I don't have a USE then I just buy more ammo because I get more from shooting than owning things without purpose.

is that a Ruger holster or another brand , I am looking for a better wrangler holster than the old hunter I have that was for another gun , it works but is a little sloppy and longer than it needs to be.

Not available in MN by law ! Low melting point alloy frame is the problem.

Just read an article on the new Super Wrangler, and it sounded like it has a steel frame now?

Buy the Henry. Stock up on 22 mag. Great round.
Sarge

if I was getting a henry the 2 I would be looking at
the small game carbine 17 inch barrel with a skinner peep sight , I like peep sights and short rifles for carrying around. in 22mag load the tube and your ready to rock when that vermin that needs shooting shows up with a flick of the wrist.

the second


the other one I would be looking hard at
https://www.henryusa.com/rifles/frontier-model-threaded-barrel-24/
24 inch suppressor ready
I would do 22lr for that the whole purpose to be a quiet gun , from a longer barrel CCI quite is already shut the car door quiet , and with a can the standard velocity ammo get to that level.
