I already know the Heritage revolvers are junk. I had a new one lock up on me while I was fiddling with it at the gun store.As to the Heritage and Wrangler recommendations...I have extensive experience with both, and both are cheap toys.
My son has one. It has had some bullet stabilization issues....keyholing in the target, shooting ammo that my Single-Six shoots just fine. The gun has been back to Ruger, and actually got replaced with a different gun. The new one has been a little more tolerant but still has problems with golden bullets (which, while not the best ammo out there, doesn't tumble out of any of my other .22s).I already know the Heritage revolvers are junk.

I've not had any problems out of my Wrangler. What makes it a toy, rather than a practical and inexpensive option, in your experience?
RK has a revolver chambered in 22lr. it seems to have a very short barrel. Just wondering about the applications it would have with such a short barrel? Seems like limit d to plinking? Also seems like having any degree of accuracy may be a challenge?
Thanks
Have him contact Ruger about the keyholen issue that isn't right. They will fix that right up for him. Excellent customer service.My son has one.

The sights aren't well-registered on his, either, and last time we took it out he had to hold about 6" left at 15 yards to make hits. They're fixed, so there's not much to be done about it. That was shooting Federal Automatch, so I want to try some different ammo before I do anything else to it. But even if it's ammo-specific, the gun shouldn't be that picky.
I'm also not a big fan of the aluminum (or pot metal?) construction. When you pick up my stainless Single-Six, it feels almost exactly like a centerfire Blackhawk. It's solid, and has the heft of a "real" gun. The Wrangler feels like some of the cap guns I owned as a kid.
There is definitely some buyer's remorse with the gun, and I wish I'd encouraged him to save up a little longer to buy something better. We bought it hoping it would prove to be the inexpensive, practical option that you described, but instead it (actually both of them) turned out to be kind of a turd.
I did. We sent it back. They replaced it. New gun does the same thing, albeit to a lesser extent. I'm over it.Have him contact Ruger about the keyholen issue that isn't right. They will fix that right up for him. Excellent customer service.
Perhaps best not to go down the rabbit hole.I have no dog in the hunt.
I will offer a bit of friendly advice...which is worth exactly what you pay for it.
Revolvers can be addictive...very addictive.
Carry on.
Oh...I'm not saying that at all!Perhaps best not to go down the rabbit hole.
Oh I know but I am kinda saving for a full blown Allen M 1911.Oh...I'm not saying that at all!
Revolvers are fun

No I thought about learning to reload but wonder if my lack of fine motor skills would make reloading difficult if not impossible. From what I understand primers are really small?ROSSI has a new 357mag out 6" barrel for around $425 you can shoot 38 Special in it also.
Do you reload?
