Super Wrangler

I was told this super Wrangler only 1000 built. Is that true?

No idea, but it looks like u and I each have one of however many they make.

Under $300, new this year I think.

Probably not...Those have been on the market for a while now, and I'm sure that Ruger/Talo have sold well over a thousand of them.

Based on how many are for sale, all bet they made a whole lot of them.

So disappointed in the finish on mine. I swear it's the same as the cheap Heritage revolvers. Like a bad spray paint job. I have more Wranglers than I care to admit. This one really disappointed. Anyone else get a bad finish on their model 2060?

No complaints from me.

Shoots good too.

Looks pretty good to me, I will have to be on the lookout!

Just paid $285 out the door in Marion NC
BEFORE adjusting elevator, LOOK at the 3 shot group in BLACK CIRCLE at 25 yards shot off of a sand bag. Cheap 25 year old Remington bulk golden bullets.

Maybe I scored a really good one as it will outshoot the old 6 1/2" Old Model Super Single Six. Amazing bargain gun in spite of cheap finish.
Y'all have a great weekend. Bo

Got this one from Buds and they are still advertising them. Price has already dropped since I got this one. No complaints on the finish.

So- how close to a brushed brass look is the finish on the grip frame?

I assumed it was just the bronze ceracote finish, but some of these pics do look more shiny

Randy- the Brass look is actually nice. Add American made, shoots tight groups, 2 cylinders, and mine was $285 OTD and it's a winner.
Move over, Heritage!!

In hand, it is easy to discern the frame is coated to look like brass.

But, what does one expect when the entire gun costs less than a genuine brass frame?

Looks similar to the gold/brass anodized trigger guard on my bearcat. The painted one looks good just more of a solid color instead of the transparent anodized finish.

My goal with my question is that I am trying to find a way to make an aluminum grip frame look like brass. Why not just use brass? I want to keep the weight down.

I will admit- I'm a die-hard proponent of the Single Six, especially the OM guns. But the draw to a Super Wrangler is the cost- it would be a great truck gun. Maybe some day I'll succumb. I already had a silver/black Wrangler and gave it to my son-in-law for my Grandson. Now if it was all black…I might still have it.

They can't use brass and sell it for under $300

No doubt. That would be a heck of a deal!

That picture Moparclan posted looks beautiful-

I've got some aluminum grip frames from Ronnie Wells and I'd like to get them to look like brass, if possible. I'm not too optimistic though…

Wished they made those in a 45colt.

Looks like a Talo exclusive model. Think I'll have to order one soon

Nobody's talked about anodized metal and what it might look like in brass color. I looked at RW's brass grip frame for my Super Wrangler, but too rich for me.

I take it back. Moparclan spoke/picture of anodized trigger guard.
