An LCP II in .22lr, and a 5.7 pistol. I'd like to have both. 
Both can be seen on Rugers site; https://www.ruger.com/

They also just came out with a fourth color of their Wrangler; an Olive Drab version. Seems like I want more than I can/should buy. 
But look how nice this is!

Agreed. I still love shootin' 22s. Here's my black and silver Wranglers (a few months ago);

I heard last night that the green one is a distributors special, so it's not likely that I'll see one.

I've only found one so far, but with shipping and transfer it'll be about 50% higher than it should be. $200 to $210 is normal, but to add $30 shipping and then $20 transfer fee is too much. I want it, but not $300 want it. 
Still lookin' locally though...

The one on gunbroker sold for $207, which with shipping and transfer fee would have been $267. Kinda torn on whether I should have done it, but that's still $50 over local price. :thinking:

The difference is that the other fella has the gun
but you still have the $50
The real question is what are you gonna do with the $50 you "saved"---
buy ammo LOL

You're probably right. I just spent $20 on ammo yesterday. 
...but I would have spent that on top of the $50, so... I shoulda done it.

The search is over! Somebody listed two of them on Gunbroker, for $215 each with free shipping! 
I bought one, and just messaged my FFL friend in Jeff City to send his info. $235 total; I'm happy.

loading gate or swing out cylinder? I had a super single six but remember it being annoying to shoot because of the slow loading...still a cool revolver

Yep, loading gate. It's almost like an inexpensive Single Six. I've read that the grips are interchangeable, so size and function are almost the same.
The change that I really like, is that the cylinder freewheels both directions when the gate is open, and all done with the hammer down.
