Finally found a decent used Single Six. Got a few small dings but overall pretty nice. One thing about loading those little .22s after shooting a .45 though. I have a heckuva time guiding those little boogers into those little bitty chamber holes.[

They sure are fun guns to shoot though! And a whole lot cheaper than the .45s!

Btrumanj: Got mine new in '76 and still enjoy shooting it. Got used to loading the little 22's.

After a while and some practice, we have NO problem getting the shells in or out of the cylinders, and NO , most of the time we don't even 'LOOK' at it while we do it, just "do it".

I've got a 5 1/2" convertible Single Six that I purchased about 1980. It is an excellent revolver. I really have never put many mags through it, but it performs very well with both.

Stick with it - you'll get used to it and love it.

Very Nice. My father has one and I pretty much grew up shooting the thing.
If I was to purchase a single six, it would be this model.

Mine is an older single-six, 3-screw with fixed sights, and I'm really fond of it.

When I'm out of "the big city" it's always in the truck...and it sure gets shot a lot.

And...you'll quickly adapt to the loading...

Your's looks to be in pretty nice shape. Try the mag cylinder, too...it's a neat round as well. Congrats on a good purchase!

I don't go to gun shows anymore and at the gun shops I go to you never see a 3 screw or old model Ruger. Collectors got 'em all.[V]

This is my Stainless Single Six Convertable. It's a nice all around fun gun. I really like the single action in a rimfire because it gives you something to do between cylinder fulls. Bill T.

billt,nice looking Single Six. Just getting used to mine and trying to shoot it as much as I can.

You guys are making it very difficult for me not to get another Single Six. Should have never sold my first one.

I have had my super single six since 1972. It has a bit of bluing missing on the barrel. But it still shoots as good as the day I got it. It was a high school graduation gift from my folks.

Owned two single sixes at different times back in late 70's and early 80's.That time frame is a little fuzzy to remember. Kinda explains why I don't have those single sixes anymore. Hope to get and KEEP another one soon. Great pistols! Mongo.

Nice revolvers. Not into single actions but one of those may be in my future.

Nice fun guns to shoot for little money. With fat fingers like mine I have to retrain myself everytime I take her out. There is some difference between loading those 22's versus the 45 I usually shoot. I've been known to have more of those little shells on the ground than on the bench. The mag is fun to shoot too and makes more noise. I guess it's a guy thing. Here's a pic of mine since we are sharing visual images.

 

[ratgunner]

Ahh yes the single six,one of the best values from any gunmaker.

Nice piece Billt.

I got my first SS in 1989. Me and my brother have put 20,000+ rounds through it, and it's still mechanically perfect.

This is what me and my Grandson take with us about every time we go shooting:
