Ruger Single Six vs Ruger Mk II?

[SeANMcBAY]

I need a .22 and decided between these maybe. What would be better for improving my skill with my Sig P6?

Can anyone list the pros and cons of these .22s and feel free to list other ones. I'm open to any good .22.

Get the MK II is you are trying to improve your skill with your P6. The Single Six is a completely different platform all together with the single action trigger, different grip angle and functionality.

I had a gorgeous Single Six I customized, but sold it a few months ago because it just wasn't as fun a a semi auto. It took a long time to load vs a semi auto with a magazine. Very accurate though. But in your case, get a MK II or a semi auto rimfire pistol.

MKII. Hard to find a better .22LR pistol.

MKII/III if you need to practice for the P6, but the Single Six... there is something about a good single action revolver.

I have both and the Single Six goes with me when I go out in my hunting area and the MKII goes with me when I take walks (for open carrying and then shooting dogs, if need be.)

I did see those but I heard they are crap quality. Although I would like a .22 to look more like a "real gun".

Does anyone know were I should look for a used MK II? I'm in the south Bay Area.

I have a old Ruger flat loading gate .22 six shooter and I love it! Ahh, the simplicity.

I also had a two Ruger Mk. Didn't like either of them.... Still dont.

Best bet for a used MkII is to hit Sportsmen's Supply regularly - I recommend once a week, sometime mid-week. They turn over a lot of used guns, and often have good prices on .22s. I got my bull barrel MkII (MK512) there some years ago for a great price. I used to drop in there weekly, as it was near my daughter's gym, and I bought way too many guns doing that.

Being a semi-auto, it's going to be better than the Single Six for P6 practice, but it's got different ergonomics and mag release, a lot lighter trigger, and a completely different bolt/slide setup, so you'll be building different habits. The SS is completely different, and while still fun, builds a whole different set of skills than semi-auto shooting.

A Mosquito's actually not a bad bet, despite its problems, as it's much closer in manual of arms to a P6. The mediocre reliability's even a bit of a plus for training, as you'll get better at clearing jams and failure to fires than with a reliable gun. Mine shoots relatively well, and is getting more reliable as I shoot it more.

Another option would be to get a regular 9mm and a .22 adapter for it (like a Glock/Ciener or CZ Kadet (my preference)). While different from the P6 in manual of arms, they handle like real centerfire pistols.

Too bad you can't get a .22 top end for the P6.

That would be nice.
