No science or fancy tools, just shooting from the hip...so to speak. Accuracy - About the same as a RR. Good results with CCI Mini-mags and Federal “Black Pack” bulk ammo. Best results were with Aquila Colibri...RR likes those too. Tie. Sights - Tie. Grips - What it lacks in looks it makes up for in handling (plastic but checkered). Cosmetic to the RR, practical to the Wrangler. Feel - Wranglers mechanicals win hands down, just has a more solid feel. Finish - It’s different and only time will tell about the Wranglers cosmetic durability. RR blue finish is thin but easy to touch up. Tie? Nostalgia - No four clicks, no half cock, no clicks when you turn the cylinder. RR has the edge here. Winner - The Wrangler. A more solid feel, being able to load/unload without touching the hammer, and a transfer bar to load six make this the gun to grab for a rimfire ruckus. P.S. The playing card was definitely not shot at from the hip :-) Blaze Attachments:

I'm kinda waiting for Ruger to "split the difference" too.

I've had Ruger Single-Six, Super Single Six, two Colt Frontier Scouts and my current three Heritage Rough Riders.
All made the nice clicking sound except for the Super Single-Six with transfer bar. Dull thud noise.
The thing that separates Rugers for me is the longer gap between grip and the trigger. The Colt and Heritage fit my hand better while the Ruger feels a bit loose.
People with larger hands would probably prefer the Ruger grip.
Perhaps someone could post a picture of the difference between the Ruger and either the Colt or Heritage.
Although I've never handled one the Uberti Stallion with Its' beautiful brass grip frame, color case-hardened frame and bluing look fantastic.
