Derringer Dan Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Hey folks, need some opinions about these. I have 1 Wrangler, intend to get another and am in the process of getting leather for the pair. But before I can do all this, I’ve got some other business to complete. In the meantime, I’ve spotted the Chiappa SAA’s that sure look nice in the antique finish. I’ve owned Ruger single sixes in the past and have been happy with them. Due to my recovery, it will still be a while before I can get out and put the wrangler through it’s paces. Opinions on all these two would be appreciated regarding quality, fit, function etc. Thanks everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black RZR Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Ruger makes really good guns. I have a pair for my daughter. I had to change out springs to lighten hammers. It's same springs as a single six so that's nice. Had them in my parts already. My ejector rod tab broke on one of the wranglers, ruger sent a free one fast to me. I trust the ruger name over chippawa. That's my opinion.... Actually here's an even better idea, have a pair of each !!! More guns in the safe the better!!!

Rooster Ron Wayne Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 As I stated in the first post . The Wrangler is just a cheaper version of the Single Six . I purchased two Wranglers myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeaconKC Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 If you aren't already locked in to your 2 [very good] choices, look at the Heritage Rough Riders. I have picked up a couple and they are ridiculously accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Miles #13621 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I just sold a Wrangler and an Heritage. I couldn't stand shooting either of them! Just MHO. If I could find a Colt at a decent price I would buy one in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I am not familiar with the Wrangler. The Chiappa has the advantage of being the same size/weight as an SAA, fits SAA holsters. But it is made of Zamac (sp?) a cast metal, and I'm not sure how well that will hold up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watab kid Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 for SASS both would make good tools as will the heritage , we are shooting and wearing these items out , if you can afford the colts you can go that way , ill not use my colts for this venue , but again that is me , others may choose differently , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
