I'm watching this one again after 2 years. I now have 2 Wranglers and enjoy them immensely. And I have just placed an order for a single ten.
I’m 62 when I was a kid I bought a used but like new Ruger single six from a fellow that owned the local gas station for 70.00 with 2 boxes of shells and a Hunter leather holster. Now I own several single action Rugers and love them all.
That stainless model with wood grips is gorgeous.
Love the old 3 screw single sixes with the 22 LR & Mag cylinders .
I have two of them ,will never sell any
@@dano9421 Back in the mid 1960's, I bought two Ruger .22 caliber handguns. One was the Ruger Single Six with fixed sights, which was a blued version of the Ruger Wrangler but with what looks like a smaller diameter barrel. The other one was the Ruger Super Single Six which sported the adjustable sights like the current Single Six. I kept the Single Six and gave my brother the Super Single Six for Christmas that year.
I need a good .22 LR hand gun. I may be living in the dog house for a while too Thomas Edison.

@@dano9421 Same goes for the one my father bought " us " for Christmas in 1957 when I was 10 .
@rick that is the exact gun I first learned to shoot, the funny part is i talked my dad into giving it to me last week.
Quick edit. I am now in possession of a beautiful single 6, 3 screw.
I really still love my Hi-Standard Double-Nine. Basically everything you love about this, with double action and a swing out cylinder. I wish they were still being made.
IdiotF0ol I have dad central. I think it bout the same . I love the it
Harold Eivins sorry, I didn’t catch that.
I have my dad's hi standerd central( mis spelled ) . but it is a lot like yours .
Harold Eivins ah, yes. The Sentinel was the basis of the Double Nine.
I carry 9 shot hi standard nickel plated great gun
I've been collecting 22 cal ruger hand guns for many many years. I love all of mine. The single nine and ten are both very very accurate. BTW if you want to put a mirror finish on yours like i did mine, use some "Mothers" aluminum and mag wheel polish. I've used it on many many different stainless firearms and it always does a great job. You also mentioned the new Wrangler the one thing that I found that helps the Wrangler is the fact that Ruger put a free spin paul in it. That means that you can spine the cylinder both ways for loading and unloading. Most of us who shoot cowboy action put a free spin paul into our Ruger Vaqueros and Black Hawks to make reloading on the clock much quicker and quite easy as well.
Try some stuff called FLITZ.
metal polish. Yea boyye
I'm sure the Single 6 to 10 series are quality pistols because RUGER, but I prefer a double Action, like the H&R Model 929 nine shot .22LR revolver. I bought mine new in 1978 with a new Hunter holster for 79 bucks. I wore it on my hip for 20+ years and like you, Plinkster, I practiced a lot with it. I used to shoot rabbits on the run out to 75 yards while working ground with my old John Deere 3010 tractor, usually in one or two shots. I could shoot from the hip and hit anything I wanted at 25 yards. A few years back, while hunting pheasant, a rabbit popped out from some grassy cover and a nephew asked if I thought I could hit it. I brought my 929 up to my hip, shot, and the rabbit fell over dead. For several years after that, anytime he was here hunting he would tell them about shooting the rabbit. I'm 70 now and I'm still pretty salty with the old 929. I love that gun and even though I have a lot of guns, it's still my favorite. Number two would be my Ruger Mark IV Competition Stainless. Number three would be a toss-up between my Ruger Charger Takedown or one of my Ruger SR1911SSs. And I can point shoot those 1911s just as good as my old 929. The only way my 929 could be better is if it was satin stainless, but back then you didn't see many stainless pistols.
Take care and keep your barrel clean. Bo Leggs.
I've had one of these since 2014. I love it, great for small game, target shooting, and just fun plinking. Also great for teaching new shooters.
I have a blued single six convertible with a 6 1/2 barrel. Absolutely love it, bought it brand new about 15 years ago. Crazy accurate with 22 mag, 22 lr and even the shorts.
In my experience all ruger revolvers are built like tanks. I own 3 and all are solid as can be
They are very well machined, but assembled by people that do not know how to use a screwdriver. A phone call to Ruger has never failed to get undamaged screws right away, they even replaced a set of grips that were scratched in the area near the grip screw.
I bought a Boyd's stock for my Ruger American rimfire and called Ruger to purchase the two metal parts that need to go in the stock. When I asked them how much they were going to charge me, they said that they would not. I gave them the opportunity to change their mind by telling them that the stock I had was the red, white and blue "Old Glory" model, but I also planned to get a brown stock. They didn't care, they sent me two each of the two metal parts needed, and didn't charge me a cent. Ruger is obviously really big on customer relations.
What ones do you have ?
I agree. I have a GP100 in. 357, and there's not a Smith on the planet that I'd have instead.
Even the new Wrangler is high quality for $200 gun. I compared my wrangler to my dads single six and function and feel they were both very similar. I love my rugers
Gp100 357 is so mean I love it 😈
I agree with you. My Grandpa had a Colt Buntline Scout 9.5 inch barrel from I think 1953 or 1956 that was his Dad's that he used to teach me how to shoot. We didn't shoot it that much because of how old the gun was. So I got online and found that Ruger made the Single Six with a 9.5 inch barrel. It looks just like the Colt, only with better sights. We then went to our local gun dealer and ordered one. It is an amazing firearm and is what started my love for Ruger and shooting.
I've had one of these for a few years now, and what a gun! It's not fast, it's not "tactical" but it's FUN and yeah, it's good to step back sometimes and slow down, enjoy yourself and get back to the basics. This gun is perfect for that and it's built to last several lifetimes of hard use.
I do like the Ruger Single Six. My first handgun was a Single Six .22 Mag. when I was 18 back in 1970. Ruger is a very reputable company I must add. I read about a safety update in 1983 so I mailed my gun from Saskatchewan to Connecticut to the Ruger factory where they did the update. Surprise of all surprises, they also sent me a new .22 LR cylinder. Now I had both. It was an excellent gun. Fun to shoot but only had the non adjustable sights for fast draw. Still shot very accurate though.
a person absolutely cant go wrong with any proven ruger revolver
A really sweet and amazing Ruger single action revolver is the .30 Carbine caliber. You could shoot it all day and not hurt your hand, but it does have firepower. I don't know why it is so smooth, but it is. Big wow factor.
@@1tuuber I have never fired a .30 Carbine, but my .44 Magnum Old Model Super Blackhawk is the gun that convinced me that I needed to learn how to handload. It is the reason that I never needed to buy a .357 Magnum. In fact, the minimum load recoils very much like a .22 RF.
Great for a 42 yr old dad with a 12 yr old son. Been doin this xet up for four or so years. Thanks brother.
I love my two Single-Six New Models. When looking for a new DA 22 revolver about two years ago, I read about many problems just about every manufacturer was having with their 22 revolvers. I wound up with VG condition Hi Standard Sentinel Deluxe.
I cant believe I was the last one to comment a year ago. I have been shooting my Single 10 for a year now and It's my favorite .22. It's a work of art no doubt. I have found that the forcing cone to cylinder gap is very tight and after many rounds it does need to be cleaned with a brush. The Tuff Quick ammo strips do assist in loading faster. I just love single action revolvers and the Single 10 would be my Bug out side arm.
I have a Wrangler and love it. That Single Ten is a thing of beauty.
As much as I admire Ruger's handguns many years' back I had a double action H&R break action 10-shot with a 8" barrel and target sights . It indexed perfectly and had a great trigger . I got mine with a set of Herter's grips . NIce Ruger, but I prefer the Schoefield style action for a plinker .
My concern with a break-open has always been with the strength of the latch, would it eventually get worn and loose? Yes, a break-open would be nice on a horse, but I still prefer the H&R Model 929 nine shot .22LR revolver with its swing out cylinder. Mine had a six inch barrel. H&R made great revolvers.
Jeff Hoser
I didn't know H&R made a swing out cylinder .22 I've got a 949 double action 9 shot that I got new in 1978 but the cylinder doesn't swing out.
Not long ago I picked up an Iver Johnson 8-shot DA break action .22. I like the way it pops all rounds out at once. Also have a Rough Rider. It's not bad for extremely cheap.
Love my Stainless Single Six Convertible, 6-inch .22LR/.22WMR. (Purchased new in the 1980's)
I just got one these and I absolutely love the accuracy.
I have had a Single Six "convertible", with the 22 WMR cylinder ... not only a great plinker, but a capable close-range vermin eliminator when the magnum cylinder is loaded with the CCI shotshells ...
Ruger single six the greatest. I own 3. The 1964 model I’ve owned the longest. Shoots as good as any of them. Love it !
I REALLY ENJOYED THE VEDIOE ON THE SIGLE TEN
I AM A RUGER FAN MYSELF . I OWEN FIVE .I OWEN A RUGER SUPER
SIGLE SIX IN THE BOX . I ALSO OWEN A 3 SCREW SINGLE SIX .
3 NEW MODEL SINGLE SIX WITH DUAL CYLINDERS . 2 BLUED WITH
7. 1/ 2 " BARREL AND MOTHER OF PEARL GRIPS .
1 STAINLESS STEEL WITH A 5 1/ 2 " AND MOTHER OF PEARL GRIPS .
I bought a Single Ten earlier this year. While dry firing the new revolver, I noticed that the timing was off. I emailed Ruger and they sent me a shipping label. I got the gun back in about a week and it has been flawless since. More accurate than I am. Always a staple when I head to the range.
I've owned a blued single six for about 25 years and I love it. I've gotten quite good at reloading relatively quickly over the years. I don't shoot it as much as I used to since I bought a Mk4.
I traded a S&W Victory model for a Single Nine in 22 mag, I’m glad I did!
@Blue collar Silver dollar you could say that about any handgun caliber.
Single Six:
Owned one for almost 50 years and it's never failed to work.
Bought my grandson's the heritage 22 single action, hope they keep them and pass them down but kids now days don't think the way us older people do.
I have owned my Single six for many years and love it. I also picked up the hunter long barrel and love the accuracy. Haven't thought much about getting it in a 10 shot. Seems like the length of reload time deters me. I have a 10 shot S&W 22 rimfire, the 617 that loads like a regular double action revolver that is much faster to reload.
I had a S&W K-22, .22 LR, 6 inch barrel, adjustable sights, six shot, very accurate.
The Ruger Single Six series has to be the best 22 LR ever made..as you mentioned..built like a "tank".
I’m the proud owner of a Ruger Single Six Bisley...I made the mistake of being talked out of my earlier blue Single Six .22 Bisley (it was an offer I just couldn’t refuse when they were dropped from the lineup and used prices went stupid)...however I regretted selling it from day one 🙁 Fast forward to last year when Bud’s online had the Bisley Single Six in stainless at a price over $150 less than I sold the earlier model for...I ordered one and three days later it was at my FFL 😆😁😆😁...the Bisley grip frame, hammer and trigger are fantastic...all my other Ruger pistols that I use for CAS are .45 Colt Bisley’s so it feels right 👍. I think the rim fire single action Ruger (no matter how many holes are in the cylinder) are a must have firearm (same with a 10-22 😆🇺🇸😆🇺🇸). As Jerry Miculek says “get some!” 😝
I've waited most of my life to buy a Single Six, and finally, about 3 years ago I bought a SIngle Six Convertible with the .22 magnum cylinder. Mine is in stainless steel.
It is a 'handsome' revolver, to be sure,..but now, after shooting with it for a while, I'd prefer to have a double action revolver.
Nothing at all wrong with my Single Six,, it's just what I'd prefer.
My first and still favorite pistol is the H&R Model 929 nine shot double action .22LR revolver that I bought new back in 1978, with a new Hunter holster, for 79 bucks. Sure the trigger is a little heavier until you get to the break point, but double action is always faster and can be just as accurate if you practice.
@@cephasmartin8593 I just looked this one up, and it is a nice looking revolver. I'd like to try one of of those.
What a pity that Harrington & Richardson is not in production any more.
All real shooters know that you must have both. ;-)
I thought you on Hicock 45's range at first.
Ikr
Me too! They did do a collaboration video.
Not enough of those targets that switch from left to right and back when shot, not sure how they are called.
Hicock has several of them in the foreground.
@@sim.frischh9781 i believe its a dueling tree
@@hp5469 Interesting name, i hope it doesn´t shoot back...
I saved up for a single six when I was 14 years old best purchase I ever made
So did I, mine is stainless steel. It’s a great pistol.
I love my Ruger New Model Single Six, 51/2" barrel in blued steel and walnut grips.! Picked it up in 1982 at the Army Rod & Gun Club in Germany and still have it. It wasn't my first handgun, that honor belongs to an Harrington & Richardson 949. A SA/DA 9 shot 22LR / 22WMR convertible that I bought in Texas in 1979. Loved the H&R because of the double action and 9 shot capacity. Unfortunately, someone decided they needed it worse than me and stole it out of my Brother's cabin when I was stationed in Germany for the second time! Love these little plinkers! Extremely accurate and just plain fun to shoot. Still looking for a replacement for my lost H&R 949. Maybe someday!
The first firearm I ever bought was a blued 6 1/2” Single-Six. 25 years and going strong ,very accurate and fun to shoot. A 22 is inexpensive to shoot and ALL your fundamentals can be developed with it.
I agree, I bought mine 44 years ago. Its been fired by 3 genarations still going strong.
I learned long ago that just about anything you might need a gun to do, a single action .22 will do about 99.999% of it. That other .001% is when I use 20ga slugs to bore bolt holes in lodgepole posts.
I like the EAA bounty hunter .22lr, it's full size, all steel, ten round cylinder, uses SAA springs, and has .22 mag cylinder which also holds 10 rounds.
What's SAA springs?
@@airgreek single action army, in other words it uses the same springs the colt single action army revolvers use, so you can tune the actions and triggers to your liking very easily.
You are not at all "off base" to say the Ruger Single 10 is great. I have that same pistol and I LOVE IT!
“I wish I was more accurate” hits 100 yrd plate 3 times effortlessly
Well, he might be good if he can hit a rabbit on the run at 75 yards in 1 or 2 shots, usually one ... while working ground on a John Deere 3010 tractor. Or hip shoot a rabbit at 25 yards, but that's kind of easy ... even for this old man.
Corey Graham Awee...you can do it too! Just keep up the practicing!
Even pros probably wish they were just a little more accurate.
@@exothermal.sprocket that's how people become pros and pros improve.
Effortlessly? K
Nice revolver. I bought a used Ruger KNR-5 in 2002 for $225. It only had the mag cylinder so I sent it to Ruger and total cost for adding an LR cylinder and shipping one way (they shipped it back free) was $80. Not bad for $305 final cost. My favorite rimfire revolver. It's not some bogus toy but a real "hefty" gun. Trigger pull is light and the 5.5" barrel and adjustable target sights are quite accurate with LR and magnum ammo alike. Although the Single Ten does hold a few more rounds I prefer the advantage of swopping cylinders between LR and magnum ammo for a more versatile gun. Nice video, hope it gives you years of pleasurable shooting.
Swapping cylinders.
I was awake during English class.
@@carminemurray6624- Oops! My bad, gotta use Spellcheck.
Have a variety of single actions. This one, my example has the end of the hammer pin proud of the side of the frame with a ring of spared polishing around it, and the flat areas of the front of the frame a bit sluffed off. Trigger pull was a bit gritty. It is accurate, and a Wolf kit and some stoning helped greatly.
Nice gun, but imho vintage Rugers had better fit and finish, less creep. I would buy one again, but I’d like to see better finish work, trigger pull, and a free spin paul.
I have fired and still do the Ruger single action revolvers as i own a fine single six .. I started in 1963 and have been hooked ever since ..
Your grip is fine from what i see, two fingers is fine and it's all you need , yes center fire too , it's not your hand size it's the famous single action grip design ..
Don't worry you won't drop it with only two a finger grip ...
The grip frame is that way on XR3 and XR RED grip frame , one will always have their little pinky under the grip bottom ..
In my .357 and .44 mag that is a plus having your pinky under the grip frame as far as recoil goes and my .44 does have recoil ..
Think of it this way , if you jammed all your fingers into the grip your knuckle is going to eat that recoil big time from the trigger guard and you won't like it.. ..
My favorite revolver , double or single action ? my choice is single action . Once a shooter learns how to master one there is nothing like them ..There is a trick to unloading one , it can be done in 2-3 seconds nothing do it your thumb controls the cylinder rotation , your index finger controls controls the ejection rod..click click click there were 6 just like that ..
A fold out calendar that you could dump all 10 emptied in one rod press would be great on that 10 shot!
My dad and I had the Single-Six in long rifle an .22 magnum. Such a fun and accurate gun to plink around with. The Mark 1 target was our other Sunday at the sandpit gun.
This is the cylinder that should have been fitted to the Wrangler. Just say’n
You ain't wrong.
Lol. Yea, right.
Plinker is from which country???
10 shots are fun to shoot not so much cleaning.
USA
Dumb question of the day: Since .22s don’t produce enough impact on your distant targets for viewers to hear the hit, would it be possible to place a microphone in close proximity to them? It would be great to hear the impact and add to the enjoyment.
I really liked my High Standard Longhorn 9 shot swing out cylinder. Only had a drift adjustable rear sight. It got ruined in the Katrina flooding.
BUMMER!
you can swap out the cylinder from a single nine and have a 22mag...I have both and have swapped them both ways.
I like the Ruger Single 10. I like it a lot! But I won't buy one because it doesn't index to the click like it should. I understand the need for "more safety", I suppose,....but Ruger really should have figured out how to also make it index correctly.
I wanted a SA .22 convertible revolver. I looked at the Ruger and the price was oddly high for a Ruger. I ended up with TWO 9-shot convertible HA Rough Riders for about HALF the price of a convertible Ruger. They aren't as good as the Ruger, but an outstanding value.
My favorite .22LR handgun is my Super Single Six (stainless 6-1/2”). It’s the convertible. No telling how many thousand rounds have gone down the barrel, and a few hundred magnums. 1979 is its born on date. The only upgrade....as I got into my 50s I put Wilson Combat springs in it. I also have an MK1, as well as a MKIII 22/45. Both are great shooters but I always go back to the Super Single Six.
I'm having a lot of fun with my uberti 12 shot .22LR.
hello, I plan to buy a Uberti .22 lr in addition to my Pietta .45colt 5.5 ”. Are you still satisfied with your Uberti and which barrel does your revolver have? Regards from Austria, Paul
I have 3 Single Six Convertibles and 3 granddaughters you can probably see how that's going to end up. But back to the guns as I said all 3 are convertibles, #1 is a 5.5" blued with fixed sights, #2 is a 6.5" SS with adjustable sights and #3 is a 9.5 " blued with adjustable sights. All of them can shoot better than I can. I've only used .22LRs at this time. I also have Ruger single actions in 357/9mm, 30 Carbine and 41 magnum along with a SS model 77 in 30/06 and a Mk1 bull barrel. I think it's safe to say I like Rugers.
I do not own a Ruger single 6 single 10 or any Ruger single action revolver. What I do own though is an FIE Texas Ranger four and three-quarter inch barrel 22 single action revolver and just recently bought the Heritage Rough Rider six and a half inch 22 single action revolver.
I have had FIE for 30 years and only had one problem out of it. After 30 years of reliable shooting the spring that advanced the cylinder broke took me a couple of days to get it fixed at a gunsmith shop and it has operated reliably ever since.
I just recently purchased a Heritage Rough Rider and have only had the opportunity to put one 50 round box through it. But so far the Heritage is just as smooth in action as my FIE. I love single action shooting in 22.
Own one, specifically the 4.625" Lipsey's exclusive version.
Don't know about "best ever" but I do like mine.
I bought my first Ruger Single Six for $ 125. Wish I still had it for the price they go for now. Unreal. They are nice little pieces.
I own the Ruger .22 LR Single Six with the magnum cylinder. It is my favorite pistol, and I agree. It is the best .22 Revolver in my opinion also.
I have one on order now from Sportsman's warehouse ,, as of April 2024 the Ruger single 10 is $749 from SW
What I like about the Single Six vs the Ten is the interchangeable WMR cylinder. Especially in the 6.5" barrel I had (I sold my Single Six years ago, and have been kicking myself for it ever since. I'm about to buy another which, if it shoots as well as my old one, I will never sell) it still has a significant power advantage over the 22LR. Of course this really only matters for small game hunting, or maybe longer range target shooting.
Back in 1964 i bought a Hi-Standard Double Nine revolver. I loved it and wish I still had it.
In 1955 the old original Sentinnel sold in hardware stores and Sears for $12. I still have one in original box with papers and receipt. Never fired ... cylinder never rotated. Soooooooo sweet!
@@tacocin I bought mine at Western Auto
“
The single six was the first firearm I ever bought for myself. Still have it. Great gun. Now, Plinkster, get the Smith 648.
I haven't shot the Single 10 (yet) but based upon how I feel about the Single 6, I suspect I would agree that it's the best single-action .22 revolver. In double-action, I have to give the nod to the Smith and Wesson model 617 which is built on the K frame and also features a 10-round cylinder. I absolutely love mine!
I think I need one in my life.
I love my single six with the .22 mag extra cylinder. Accurate and cheap to shoot.
I have several of the Ruger singles and all are perfect but I kinda prefer the bearcat among equals.
I always thought the Bearcat would be the ideal trail gun with adjustable sights, then, voila! Lipsey's comes up with ASs on a stainless Bearcat, so of course I got one. (Bought my first one in 1969 at the liquor store in downtown Placerville, Old Hangtown). Carried a Colt New Frontier Buntline everywhere for 40+ years. Then a S6 in .32H&R for a brief couple of years...
THEN they hit me with three Single Sevens in .327 (four, counting the Ranger Point Precision-modified Marlin 1894CB), and I think that, around here and the way things are, it's the Better Trail Gun now. Little more oomph if needed. For nearly 50 years I never felt under-gunned with a single action, five shout .22, and still wouldn't, but the .327 is my EDC around the ranch here where LE response is two hours at best and zombies are wandering out of the cities and into the deserts and mountains. Actually lighter than a Single Six, as it has more and bigger holes, the S7 carries like a .22, shoots like a .38, and hits like a .357.
Had a single six since 1976 ... run thousands of rounds through it still just as good as it was new ..finish is starting to show a little hoster ware
I have a single six I bought in 1983 or so, it is a fine little plinking gun, and the 22 Magnum in it makes a decent varmint gun. I looked on Bud's Gun Shop and it is NOT clear to me if the TEN is CONVERTABLE to 22 MAG, it seemed to be EITHER OR. If I could ONLY GET ONE, I would take the 22 LR. The Single NINE is definetly convertable to 22 MAG.
But one thing bother's me, I bought a Smith and Wesson Model 617 with a 4 inch barrel from Bud's last year for UNDER $700, just barely under $700, and it is of course DOUBLE ACTION. It is my "practice gun" I have run 20,000 rounds through it since last Spring. I love THAT S&W 617!!! It has the weight and the feel of my 686 + S&W. But I loved my Single 6 that is nearly 37 years OLD. I polished it up like you said years ago, it looks BRAND NEW and I have plinked a lot with it. Really a GREAT recreational firearm it is.
The only thing is, like I said, I am glad I have my Single Six, but being able to buy a S&W 617 TEN shooter that is DOUBLE ACTION is a heart breaker of a decision if you don't already own one or the other. It is just over $100 bucks difference between the Single Ten and the S&W 617!!! Makes the decision hard!! Of course, it was tough paying almost $700 for a 22 LR S&W that I COULD have bought a S&W 357 Mag for just almost the exact same money. But it is a GREAT PRACTICE GUN for me. I can shoot up a Brick of 22 LR in about two hours, with the 617. I can get in a LOT of practice with it since the 22 LR came down in price. I can shoot up a WHOLE CASE of 5,000 rounds pretty quickly with the 617.
But that TEN SHOOTER there would be fun to have. They are so good for somebody just starting shooting. They don't WASTE the ammo with a SINGLE ACTION. To ME iit is MUCH BETTER LOOKING than that Wrangler cowboy gun. I don't like the looks as much as the Single 6, 9, 10 etc. BB
I just won a ruger single 6 with both barrels in stainless for $599, in top condition. Today I saw one and only one new, at buffs for $749. I think I landed a sweet deal. I was nervous that I it wasn't the right choice until I saw this video. I recently picked up a colt trooper iii from 1981 in satin nickel in very good condition for $575. It's a very nice revolver that's a good shooter and is probably actually worth $1,400 -$1,500. It was from a gun store near me and such a find, I was thinking about the new frontier in 22, but stumbled on the ruger single six. I now believe I made the right choice.
Single action revolvers are awesome.
I've had a single six in .17hmr for several years, great companion for a Henry in .17hmr
Finding one of there's now-a-days is like hitting the lottery. If you can find one online it's nearly $1000 NOW! The only 22LR revolvers that I can find in Massachusetts are Ruger Wranglers or Heritage Rough Riders. I have a Ruger Wrangler and love it; Yet I really want a higher end stainless steel .22LR revolver (preferably in single action).
Love my Single Six and Colt Frontier Scout... great pistols to force yourself to slow down & just enjoy some plinking.
This is great. I believe you.
I love my 357 combo, they appear nearly identical, I need those sights though.
Took a 16year old to the club this past weekend. First time out with the choice M4 22lr Ops, M9, M1911 CS, 357 Henry, the Blackhawk was his favorite. I was so proud, it’s mine too.
I have a little chiappa 22lr/mag combo, I couldn’t pass up for the price. It’s ok, locks up a little. I would get a Wrangler, almost did. I’m a limited collector, I’m limited to one a year, sometimes two. Next year is already coming for x-mas.....
Had CVA black powder revolver last century, single action has always been relevant to me.
I have the bearcat, single six convertible and the SP 101 . Awesome firearms.
Very awesome Smith & Wesson has a good 22 10-round very expensive though
Yes,the 617
I've found a new colt diamondback 6 inches, only testified
There are used ones out there and it's not like the .22lr will harm the gun if it's properly cleaned. Sadly, there are no real competitions for small calibre revolver shooting around or I'd choose a .22 revolver to start out with a revolver.
You are correct to say it's the greatest single action 22. I own a Ruger single 10 myself and love it. Traded my S&W 617 22lr double action to get it.
Try the hogue grips, work great for people with large hands.
Works perfectly for me, *I love them* and my hands are very average size. Now I hate the feel of all my other ''not-yet-Hogue'd'' pistols!
The Hi Standard Double Nine Convertible tops the list. Comes with two swing out cylinders; one for 22 long rifle and another for 22 magnum.
Love my old single 6 convertible 22LR/22mag. I enjoy shooting the Gp100 22LR faster loading and unloading.
I have a Super Single 6 Hunter with a Nikon Scope and a Wrangler. One extreme to the other. Of the guns I have I thing the Wrangler is my favorite.
My favorite 22 rf is the S&W k22 masterpiece. That particular revolver is way more accurate than I will ever be.
Favorite double action revolver is my H&R 939 22lr nine shot. Single action is Ruger single six very accurate little 22. Great video keep it up. Always very informative thanks.
Nice! A gun that let you enjoy it on a calm way! Really really reaaally love the color of the wooden grip. In combination with the silver / champagne. Love it.
Why do you never count your shots and snap rimfires?
You are correct about the grip length. That is why my .22 Ruger SA is the Bisley model. I do have a couple of New Model Blackhawks, and I am going to fit brass grip frames I bought years ago for the Super Blackhawk. Another possible solution would be aftermarket grips that extend down beneath the grip frame. The solution for Italian copies of the 1873 SAA is the trigger guard, backstrap and grips for the 1860 Army, which is longer. The 1851 Navy, the 1861 Navy and the 1873 SAA all come with the shorter grip, but they are interchangeable.
my favorite .22lr revolver is the Colt Diamondback DA. Beautiful blueing! slick action and very accurate.
Now those can go for close to $1000 dollars. Sweet, sweet gun.
Non other than the great Elmer Kieth used the same pinkie hold on his SA revolvers. His custom ivory grips even had a finger included for that style of hold.
Finger groove
I own a single ten. It's by far the best rim fire pistol! I use it for practice and hunting!
I have the Ruger single 6,9,10 and enjoy all but do prefer the single 10 just for fun shooting. All are better than the Wrangler. For a double action revolver the S&W 617 is my favorite. After a long day at the range they do take a while to properly clean but worth it
Lookin' for a 22lr wheel gun and thanks for showing me the Single 10
I like the Taurus .17 HMR, hitting targets at 100 and beyond is freakishly fun. But that Ruger is a nice piece.
First of all, I wish I were as accurate as you are. I wish I were half as accurate as you are! Secondly, I agree that the Single Ten is an awesome gun. My wife and I could hardly resist it when it came out, since we already owned several Single Sixes - which are also great guns. As to the Single Ten's fiber optic sight, I LOVE it. You're preference may change too as the years pile up on you as they have on me. I only have one problem with my Single Ten. That is my wife ALWAYS has it, but she is quite generous and pretty much allows me to shoot it whenever I want. We have the 5½ inch barrel.
I had a single six years and years ago. I can't explain it, but I could fire it faster than I could any double action, and maybe even an auto. Whatever I was doing seemed to damage it, and I sold it cheap. But I've always missed it.
My favorites are the Ruger single six and the Smith & Wesson 617 10 shot
That 617 is a BEAST! Indestructible beauty!
An ASSAULT REVOLVER!!!! What a beauty!
Such a fun accurate gun. I'm more a semi auto guy but shooting small game in woods with pistol they're just a blast
Sorry still love my H&R 9 shot s/d action sportsman revolver with self-ejecting break open breach.
I love my H&R 9 shot 922 Sidekick. Pretty much the same gun but with a side loading cylinder design
I'm still keeping my eyes open for a H&R 999 Sportsman Deluxe.
@@Salieri47 That’s exactly the pistol I have. Love it wouldn’t trade it for nothing. There are others I have seen for around $350 - $400. The breach break system for ejection of spent brass is rather unique. If you get one make sure you get a couple of speed loaders for it. You’ll thank me later.
Sir, I’ve got an H & R 9 shot that I’d put up against anything available! This revolver is undoubtedly the best , most accurate, comfortable shooter I’ve ever known, and I’ve known a few, if you get my drift! Maybe, because it’s no longer being made , you rule it out, but don’t overlook some good oldie-goldies like my H& R!!
Would be nice with the bisley frame.
Owned several Single Sixes in the past, and haven't hung onto any of them for any length of time. For what they are, they're great revolvers. The 'rub' for me personally is that they have the same bulk and weight as the Blackhawk, so why pack that around when a .357 is so much more versatile?
For my needs, the old High Standard nine shot, swing out cylinder, double actions more closely suited me.
I under stand where your coming from I'm that way but just the oposite I've had several of the Black hawks come and go in 357 and 44. I've kept all my ruger sixngle sixes I've got the old flat top with the flat loading gate and a 5 digit serial number, several three screw unconverted old models and even some convertible model black hawks a 357/9mm and a 45lc/45acp. heck I've even got one of the long barreled in 30M1 carbine. Shoots flames out the barrel almost as bad as a 22TCM does. Love them all though.
The steel xylophone is a dream for my future range
