Seriously Considering -> Bought a RUGER Single-Six Convertible.

[Garandimal]

Looking at the 5-1/2" Bbl'ed Mdl.

Have an H&R 949 5-1/2" that is kind of a low-end beater (and has some bore problems)

The Single-Six would use the same Hunter holster, and I'm already a big fan of the BH .357 Magnum.

it's on my long term list, but definitely walnut grips

.38 / .357 / 9mm

eta: you're talking rimfire..

yep, got a few of those and a couple of these, get one!

[plumbum]

Buy it, you won't regret it.

Rim fire revolvers are so flexible; having the option from .22 short CB's up to the hot rod 30 gr WMR's.

Mine is around 50 years old and going strong. Get one.

My first new handgun bought in 1976 and still my favorite. I have no idea how many thousands and thousands of rounds I've put through this gun and still looks and shoots like brand new. On the left:





The only thing I've done to it is replace the grips with Altamont (from Ruger) and replaced the sights with fiber optics (again, from Ruger).

After much deliberation, I went ahead and got a 5-1/2" Bbl'ed Mdl. RUGER Single-Six AS this afternoon.

Makes sense, seein' as I have a brand new Hunter 1100-45 holster that I got for the H&R.

Asked my older son which pistol he preferred out of several, including automatics - and he chose the Single-Six 5-1/2" as well.

Have a RUGER MK II Target 6-7/8" that is very precise and fun to shoot. This will round out the .22 LR stable.

Always wanted one, and w/ Two young shooters... it will get a lot of use.


Thanks for the input.

bergmen, do you have a mark ii or mark iii as well? I have a mark iii/ii and want to buy a 22/45 frame and wonder if it will fit.

What you see there is my Mark III 22/45 Target model. It came with the molded-in grips and I had a smith machine them off and install threaded inserts so I could use any 1911 grip. I can't remember where I got the grips I have on this pistol but they are very high quality. I also installed Ruger fiber optic sights and had another smith install all Volquartsen springs, hammer, etc. It has a very light trigger and is a real tack driver. Never jams either.

Crazy story.

I received one of these as a gift from parents for X-mas probably around 30 years ago. Funny my dad wrapped in in foil of all things, put it in a Sears clothing box and that's how I unwrapped it!

I loved shooting that pistol, especially with the magnum cylinder.

Unfortunately about 5 years later a buddy I worked with offered to buy it and I was needing $$. Sold it for $100!

Lessons learned... I guess??

How does that work without redoing the timing?

I had a stainless Single-Six Convertible w/ 6 1/2" barrel.

I liked it but sold it when I got a 22/45.

[Tom-ADC]

I like the feel and balance of the 5.5 inch barrel Rugers I have two a 45 Colt and a 44 Mag. The 22 convertible would be nice.
Mines a Heritage cheap shoots fine but a long way from a Ruger.

[TurboChrisB]

NOTHING epitomizes more what a pistol should sound like.....like the sound that you make when you cock a single six hammer back.

[TKM]

It's just math.

Nothing to re-do. Drops in and works. I have 8 rounders for both LR and Mag.
