Sweet As a Plum – Davidson's Exclusive Ruger Wrangler
Originally announced in April 2019, the Ruger Wrangler was offered in three distinct Cerakote colors: black, silver, and a very handsome burnt bronze. Well, the color options keep coming. Davidson’s has teamed up with Ruger once again, and has announced the new Davidson’s Exclusive Ruger Wrangler.
Since its introduction the Ruger Wrangler has been a huge hit with shooters of all ages and backgrounds. From recreational shooting to rimfire competitions to training new shooters – a single-action chambered in 22LR is a great choice for firearm enthusiasts.
“Ruger has long been one of our favorite manufacturing partners to produce Davidson’s Exclusives”, said Kane Cannedy, Davidson’s VP of Purchasing. “We knew from day one of the Wrangler’s introduction that there would be Davidson’s Exclusives coming.”
Picking the Davidson’s Exclusive Ruger Wrangler Apart
The frame on the Davidson’s Exclusive Ruger Wrangler is coated in Plum Brown Cerakote. Both the hammer and trigger are stainless. The steel cylinder maintains the black finish that comes standard on the original three offerings. The barrel is 4.625-inches, cold hammer-forged, and non-tapered. All other materials, sights, and controls remain the same as what comes stock from Ruger.
Surprisingly, the MSRP of this Davidson’s exclusive is lower than the original Ruger Wrangler’s $249 price tag. The Davidson’s Wrangler comes in at $208, leaving just enough dough in your wallet for a day worth of .22LR. If you’re wondering if the Ruger Wrangler is even worth all this attention, take a look at Rusty’s full review from April of this year.

I have put buying aside for the time being, waiting to see how a couple of court cases shake out in the Ninth. California is (intentionally) making it ever more expensive in taxes and fees that it hardly seems worth it, especially with the paltry selection of firearms and ammunition. The Dealer Record of Sale transaction fee is now $37.19, sales tax is 7.25%, the dealer fee is $25 for the paperwork, and the fee for a Firearms Safety Certificate (good for five years but mine expired right after my last purchase) another $25. So that is $87 in fees plus another $15 or so in sales tax. That is half again the cost of the gun itself!
These are some beautiful firearms and great for plinking! Not the big boomers but you won't go broke shooting them either.
