That is nice looking in that color Hatch! The Ruger and the Heritage were built to do the job at a certain price point.
For more authentic single action looks and quality it's tough to beat the Uberti but than it cost more. I have a Heritage and bought it before the Wranglers had come out and happy with it.

But it's been recently shortened though.

Cant wait for the range report from you Hatch. I have a 12 shot Uberti I like alot. But for 200 I bet that one will be fun to shoot.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Reply to the post that asked about accuracy of the Wrangler. I have had one for over 2 years and 1800 rounds. I shoot mine at 30 yards at a 5 inch target and hit the target 90-95% of the time. I did install a Blackhawk 30# trigger spring and got the trigger pull down to less than 2 lbs. For a gun at this price it performs fantastic.

I may have to try that, but at the moment I haven't shot mine much at all. :o
I do need to remedy that here soon.
