Ruger Super Wrangler: A Rimfire Revolver Built to Last

The Ruger Super Wrangler is a single-action rimfire revolver engineered for shooters who want dependable performance without a steep price tag. Built on Ruger’s proven Wrangler platform, this Cerakote 6 shot 5.5 inch revolver adds a Cerakote finish for improved corrosion resistance and a more refined look compared to the standard blued or black oxide options. The Ruger Super Wrangler is chambered as a true convertible, it ships with two cylinders — one in 22 LR and one in 22 WMR — so shooters can switch calibers in seconds without tools. The Ruger Super Wrangler 5.5-inch barrel strikes a balance between sight radius and handling, making it equally comfortable on the range or the trail.

Single-action operation means every shot starts with a deliberate hammer cock, reinforcing safe, controlled trigger habits that make this revolver an excellent teaching tool for new shooters. The Ruger Super Wrangler synthetic grips are contoured for a secure hold across a range of hand sizes, while fully adjustable rear sights allow shooters to dial in windage and elevation for different loads and distances. With a 6-round cylinder capacity the Ruger Super Wrangler, the revolver offers enough rounds for extended range sessions without frequent reloading. Ruger builds this model on the same rugged, simple mechanical foundation used across its Wrangler lineup, so reliability and ease of maintenance remain top priorities throughout.

Key features of the Ruger Super Wrangler

The Cerakote finish is one of the standout upgrades on this revolver, offering a durable, corrosion-resistant coating that stands up to sweat, moisture, and repeated handling far better than traditional bluing. Finished in silver, it gives the revolver a distinctive appearance that sets it apart from standard finish options while still delivering genuine functional protection. This ceramic-based coating resists chipping and wear from routine holstering and range use, helping the revolver maintain its appearance over years of service. For owners who spend time outdoors in variable weather, that added corrosion resistance can mean the difference between a firearm that ages gracefully and one that requires constant upkeep.

Versatility is at the core of this revolver’s design thanks to its two-cylinder convertible system. Shooters get one cylinder chambered in 22 LR for economical plinking and training, plus a second cylinder in 22 WMR for a noticeable step up in velocity and energy when small-game hunting or pest control calls for more punch. Swapping cylinders takes only a few seconds and requires no tools, so shooters can adapt to changing conditions or purposes during a single range trip. This convertible setup effectively delivers two distinct shooting experiences in one revolver, letting new shooters practice affordably in 22 LR before stepping up to the snappier recoil and flatter trajectory of 22 WMR.

Ergonomics play a major role in how enjoyable this revolver is to shoot over a full range session. The synthetic grips are shaped to fill the hand and manage recoil impulse, which is especially light given the rimfire chamberings involved. Fully adjustable sights let shooters fine-tune point of impact for different ammunition, distances, and shooting styles, whether that means precise plinking at paper targets or fast, repeated shots at reactive steel. The 5.5-inch barrel adds enough sight radius for improved accuracy potential without making the revolver feel unwieldy on the belt or in a range bag. Combined, these features make the revolver approachable for beginners while still offering enough refinement to satisfy more experienced shooters.

The included dual cylinders mean one purchase covers both economical 22 LR practice and the added performance of 22 WMR, eliminating the need for a second handgun to cover both roles.

Feeding a 22 LR 22 WMR convertible revolver

The Ruger Super Wrangler ships with two cylinders, which means two ammunition supplies, and they are not interchangeable in cost or in effect. For volume shooting, Armscor 22 LR 36 grain HVHP is what we stock deepest by a wide margin, and a 22 LR 22 WMR convertible revolver is at its most useful when you are shooting a brick of it. For the magnum cylinder, Armscor 22 WMR 40 grain JHP and CCI Maxi-Mag 40 grain JHP are the practical loads, and CCI Uppercut is worth knowing about if you also own a short barreled 22 Magnum.

Swap cylinders and the point of impact will shift. A single action rimfire revolver is easy to zero, so set the Ruger Super Wrangler up for whichever cartridge you shoot most, note where the other one lands, and do not assume the adjustable rear sight setting carries across.

Where it sits in the Ruger Wrangler line

The Super Wrangler 250th Anniversary edition is the same revolver in commemorative dress. The standard Wrangler Birdshead in bronze and in silver are the shorter 3.75 inch 22 LR only guns, without the second cylinder and without the adjustable sight. The single action mechanism, the transfer bar and the six round cylinder are common to all of them.
