The Ruger Wrangler 2002 is engineered as a robust .22 LR single-action revolver, optimized for consistent performance and cost-effective recreational shooting. It integrates a 4.62-inch cold hammer-forged barrel, which contributes to verifiable projectile flight consistency. The revolver’s construction utilizes an aluminum frame and cylinder, both treated with a durable Black Cerakote finish to provide enhanced resistance against environmental corrosion and operational wear.
Operational security is achieved via an integrated transfer bar mechanism and a loading gate interlock. These systems collectively mitigate the risk of unintended discharge by preventing the hammer from contacting the firing pin unless the trigger is fully actuated. Sighting is managed through a fixed blade front sight precisely paired with an integral notch rear sight, establishing a clear and functional sight picture. The grip frame is fitted with black checkered polymer grips, configured to the established Single-Six pattern, ensuring a secure and positive purchase.
The Ruger Wrangler is optimized for diverse applications, including target practice, recreational plinking, and foundational marksmanship training. Its .22 LR chambering delivers minimal recoil, positioning it as an effective platform for novice shooters and extended range sessions. Consistent performance and longevity are contingent upon adherence to proper maintenance protocols utilizing appropriate cleaning supplies. This revolver represents a practical entry point into firearm handling, serving as a functional component within a shooter’s essential equipment.
