Just received my new Single Nine .22mag. Just out of curiosity, why couldn't you shoot 22LR in this gun? And if you can, why did Ruger make a Single Six with both .22LR and Mag cylinders?

+1The .22 WMR cylinder is not suited to firing .22LR; the dimensions of the chambers are incorrect. Neither does Ruger yet make a .22 LR cylinder. It is possible to have a custom pistol smith make you one, but then you will be plagued by poor accuracy because the bore and groove dimensions are incorrect for the .22LR
I'm pretty sure that the single nine has the same barrel as the single ten and sixes. Poor accuracy? Maybe due to the 22 mag cylinder,but the with a .22lr cylinder, the barrel can shoot very good groups in the right hands. My single six hunter is a very accurate handgun and can outshoot many of my autoloaders despite having the wrong bore and groove dimensions.The .22 WMR cylinder is not suited to firing .22LR; the dimensions of the chambers are incorrect.
