  I bought this Ruger Single Six at the gun show. It's blued with 9.5 inch barrel. The more I shoot this pistol the more I like it. I think it must be the long barrel. It's long enough that I can ... more »

  Hey, Will Carry....Sounds as though your new "S.S." is gonna be fun! With the 9.5" barrel, you may do well more than wound the cans....probably will end their career...!

Have fun,

  This is a sweet little shooter! Mine is impeccably machined with no flaws. I love the wood grips. A bit heavy, so recoil is nonexistent, and it proved highly accurate. It is quite easy to load and ... more »

  A lovely little gun. Very fun to shoot and extremely accurate. I am not that good a shot, really. I hadn't shot it in a long while, pulled it out at 15 feet and shot a 2" group with the first three shots. It's the perfect range/target gun.

  Aladan, if you can't talk Ruger into selling just the box, I would seriously consider searching EBay and the various auction sites available. With today's economy, I'm betting that somebody would be eager to sell an empty box for reasonable price! Good luck.

  I have the single six .32 H&R Magnum version. I saw it in a pawn shop and just couldnt leave without it. It fires great, feels good weight wise and was accurate.

  My Single-Six is the convertible model. It has a .22 magnum cylinder and a .22lr cylinder. Shoots straight, looks great. Easy home-grown trigger job. Very heavy cowboy gun.

Love it! $289 NIB in April of 2004. Wouldnt trade it or sell it.
