I'll stick with my 1976 S&W K-22 model 17, thank you very much. This design is a nightmare.

Okay. That was funny.

Mars_AttacksWhen you thought that piece of shit couldn't get any worse.
Next Taurus will take it and make it curved with titanium diamond plate.

patwFor a little cheap plinker, I kind of like it-minus the grips. Now if Ruger could make one, it would be better. I owned a Heritage many years ago and it couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.

kidcopI've been working one day a week in a LGS and people snap Heritages up like crazy. I'd be thrilled to never sell another one.
I wish Ruger shipped us more Wranglers. I wouldn't consider pushing the Wrangler over the Heritage so much an upsell as helping someone avoid doing something stupid.

Not sure about that. I'm a self-admitted Ruger revolver fanboy. We picked up a Wrangler for my son last year because it fit his budget, and we figured the Wrangler would be better than the Heritage (My FIL has a Heritage, so we had experience with one and knew that wasn't what we wanted). The first one we got wouldn't stabilize a few different common brands of ammo, so we sent it back and Ruger replaced it.
We tested the new one with what we had at the time, and the new gun seemed to have resolved the issue. The last time we took it out, though, we had one of those buckets of Remington Golden bullets, and I noticed they were tumbling at 10 yards. I need to do some more testing, but if it continues this gun may be going back, too.
My Single-Six has never had any problems like this, I've owned it since 2011, and it has thousands of rounds through it. It eats everything I feed it, including .22 shorts, and it's impressively accurate. At the end of the day, you pay for what you get, and cheap junk is cheap junk, regardless of who's name is etched on the side.

NismoIt will be a great companion to the Tactical Mossberg lever action

P220 SmudgeNismo beat me to it, but there’s other “tactical” lever guns. Just godawful. I’m not a purist about many things, but when you start slapping rails and other modern “tactical” shit on cowboy guns, that’s where I draw the line. It’s like mixing asparagus with cherry pie on the same plate, they’re fine on their own, but mixing them? Just don’t fucking do it.

sigspecopsNo 100rnd drum mag? No way its tactical.

Pale HorseI can’t believe nobody has mentioned the threaded barrel yet. From the website:

The barrel is threaded for accessories like compensators and supressors
