I was at the gun show in Portland, Oregon last weekend and picked up a brand-new Ruger Single Six Convertible (22/22 mag) in blued with a 4 5/8" barrel and adjustable sights. I payed $339. I know it's not quite a smokin' deal, but this particular model seems to be hard to find locally. Anyway, I took it out plinking that afternoon and put 100 rounds of 22LR and 24 rounds of 22 mag through it. It worked great and became a tack driver with a few adjustments to the rear sight. Even for a 22, this thing has absolutely no detectable muzzle climb or recoil of any sort. It feels perfect in the hand, has a decent trigger, and looks amazing. I'm very happy with the gun and plan to take it with me every time I go shooting. My buddy and I are going on a 2-night backpacking hike up in the Mt. Hood National Forest in a few weeks and I'm packing my new Single Six (along with my GP100) for squirrels.
This is my first single-action revolver and now I have my eye on a Blackhawk Convertible in .45 Colt/.45 Auto. I've caught the single-action disease! There's just something about the grip shape, the loading gate and that distinctive "click" of the revolving cylinder. Classic.
Anyway, I'll post a picture of my new gun. I'd recommend the Single Six to anyone looking for a sturdy, durable, and great-shooting .22 pistol. Especially if you'll use it as a backpacking or survival "kit" gun.
