Ruger single action 22

[Mitchell0481]

I have been looking now for a while and think I want to get a ruger single action 22. I'm thinking about a single 10, but I am open to the single 9, or 6. Anything I need to know about choosing one of these? Is one better than the other? Any info would be great. Thanks

For your first I would say definitly get a Singe 6 with both LR and WMR cylinders. I have heard good things about the Single 10 and the Single 9 and in fact just picked up a Single 9 a couple weeks ago. I have not shot it yet but wanted a WMR specifically.

Another nice thing is used Single 6s are not uncommon and typically good values.

Single Six, Nine or Ten you can't go wrong.

I would love to pick up a nice used one, but on here if you don't see it in the first five minutes it is gone!

Good post. Two calibers in one weapon means a greater chance of finding ammo to feed it with. These days that means alot.

Good point! My first revolver was the new model single six with both cylinders. It is nice to be able to shoot shorts, longs and lr too. My daughters loved shooting the wmr because they liked seeing the fire coming out of the barrel (indoor range.) lol. It is the best handgun for getting the kids started too.

This is what I have. WMR packs a decent punch and LR is as cheap to shoot as it gets for those all day trips to the range. Loading is a little tricky until you get used to it, but the thing shoots so nice you'll fall in love your first trip out. And, they just look good too.

Mines the single-six with both cylinders. They never fail and the slow loading process saves on ammo.

I have an old model single six , a hunter model, and an old model bearcat revolver, all made by ruger. Ruger handguns in my opinion are very well made and they shoot great and I don't think you would be disappointed owning one....

All the above are right on. As noted a revolver allows the use of shorts, and longs as well as other widely varying OAL ammo. This can add much to the versatility of the gun.
The blue S6s have an alloy grip frame and balance a bit differently than stainless models with their steel grip frames. You might wish to handle each before buying.
It's not a big deal,but sometimes a small difference here can feel like a lot.

Ruger single six

Have a dual cylinder that I have carried either in my vehicle or on my belt since the mid 70's....it has served me well in dozens of hunting trips, back packing, white water rafting, camping, fishing trips and whatever. It was my "survival gun" when I was piloting and flying a lot in private aircraft. I have a lot of "high speed" handguns, but the ole Ruger has served me well.
