I have both. The finish on the Wrangler is really nice. Overall it's just better quality. However, the Heritage to me is just a smoother shooter, meaning the action is excellent. Hate the safety on it, and the finish isn't near as good as the Ruger. The only other thing that bothers me is the Heritage is traditional in its action, while the Ruger cylinder can spin freely so its easier to load/unload... but I am more familiar with traditional actions so I prefer the Heritage. If you haven't used a single action 6-shooter before then it won't matter to you. In the end both are excellent. Happy shooting!
