Ruger Single Six

[RSBH44]

I just bought this nice NIB single six .22LR w/extra .22mag. Cylinder .
I had one many years ago a foolishly sold it. I figured it was time to correct that mistake.

Like yours a lot. Had a Single Six in stainless with the magnum cylinder back in 79. Pretty sharp but likin the blued models more these days. Think it cost me around $179 new back then. Thanks for sharing.

I wish I could still find one for that price! I paid twice that for this one but overall I still think that was a good price for it NIB

Fun guns and accurate too. I have a beater.

Very nice. We've got the same tastes in Single Sixes. Looks like my 50 year old one. They haven't changed much and are a lot of fun.

I have the 5.5" Single Six convertible and a .357/9mm convertible Blackhawk to go with it. Fantastic revolvers. The Single Six will outlast us all, and still drive tacks after I am long gone.
With .22 Magnum, I have killed game from red squirrel to whitetail deer with mine, and it's a glorious shooter.

The older ones with the dovetail cut in the top strap for a rear sight are much prettier than the newer adjustable-sighted models, in my opinion. Many were converted at the factory for a hammer stop.

One of those is on my short list.

Been thinking about a Vaquero in blue lately. Friend scored a used one in .45 couple years back for a good price. Just wish they were a high polish blue and not matte.

Had one back in the 70's when I was a teenager.

Shot a LOT of LR but even back then the Magnum round was a little steep, for me, but fun to shoot.

Reminds me of today when I pick up a 38/357 revolver as a grown up "Toy".

A bucket list, for sure.

What I would really like to do with this Single Six is convert it to a bird’s head grip. Until I can get around to it, I will just leave the black grips that came on it. Not too photogenic, especially in the gloomy afternoon light, but it shoots just fine.

What's not to love about a Single Six? I gave my old three-screw model to my daughter when she left the nest for college over twenty years ago. I missed it so much I just had to go out and get another.

The Ruger Single Six is one of my favorite revolvers, something I wanted
as a young teen back in the late 50s but couldn't afford. Today I have
four unconverted three screw fixed sight Single Sixes, two 5 1/2" and
two 4 5/8" models. The newer of the 4 5/8" guns is a convertible model
with the magnum cyl but I have never found much use for the pricey
magnum ammo in a .22 revolver.

I used to take my brothers S/S out and shoot up his brick of 22 ammo . I did get a 4 5/8 barrel stainless 22 , it has the warning under the barrel so you can not see it . also walked in to a gun shop and they had a mint old model 3 screw with 22 mag cyl 4 5/8 for 349 and I had to take it home . I never see this barrel for sale any where .

I bought mine new in 1969. I can't guess how many thousands of 22LR has gone through it but I still have part of the first box of magnums I bought for it. It's never been converted or had any work done to it.

Very cool, they are awesome revolvers. I’m a big fan of the LW Tri-colors.

I also picked up a mint in the box 6.5 Black Hawk 357 mag with all papers and a letter from Ruger saying it was shipped Mar 1966 . I got it 15 yr ago and never fired it .

My Single-Six 22lr/22wmr is a "forever" gun. Others may come & go, the Ruger's not going anywhere.

Mine's unconverted and did out live it's last owner and was from an estate sale. Probably out last me and go to my grandson.

I love the Ruger Single Six.
