I have one, picked it up right after they became available, $189. It was the only one at the show that day, a black one (the one I wanted).
I already had a Heritage Rough Rider that I bought new last year. For an extra $60, the Ruger is far and away the better value. There's really no comparison. I like the Rough Rider, for what it is, and the Wrangler is a cheap gun too, but the Wrangler is in a class with real guns, where the Rough Rider isn't.
I think it's a great little gun for the price, very solid, simple, and utilitarian. If you want an old-school, heavy, shiny blued steel revolver, the Wrangler isn't for you. As to price, I have a hard time imagining them dropping in price much. It's a nice thought that maybe they'd be $150 retail someday, but I don't think that's realistic. That's pretty much Rough Rider price territory, and believe me, the Wrangler is a lot more gun than a Rough Rider.
