Look`s like a winner, although probably could stand a good cylinder gap adjustment!

  Seems everyone's all excited about this.  Me...just don't get the allure.  a few extra shots per cylinder...yeah so?   People will start whining it takes to long to reload next.

I'm sure the gun writers will be proclaiming it a radical new departure when in fact it only holds one more round than my dad's old H&R 922 which I learned to shoot back in the 50's. Nothing wrong with it but if I felt the need for 10 shots I'd go with my S&W 22A, it can waste ten rounds really fast, slap in another mag and waste ten more. ;D

  I thought you were going to tell us about the new pistol Ruger came out with to honor Senators and Congress men.
   It doesn't work and you can't fire it. ;D

I agree on the sight. They must not have been able to find an uglier one.

if i get one it wont be for a few years till the price goes down on the used ones when they start to appear on the market.by then we will know how often the sights fall off and prob have sum good aftermarket options.

Think I like my old High Standard Double Nine better.  9 shot,  DA with interchangeable cylinders in .22lr and .22mag.   Oh. and the cylinder swings out like most DA revolvers for quick and easy reloading.  ;)

i shot one of the high standard double nine .22,s with the alumanim frame to death in the 80,s, it went out of time so bad that it spit lead all over the place, the hand slot wore and left the hand flop around and not lock up. high standard would not fix it,a local gunsmith shimmed the hand making it wider and snug again with the hand slot,i sold it quick. i have since shot S&W,ruger and colt steel framed double and single actions more with no problems. no alloy framed  revolvers for me. eastbank.

I will get one as soon as I can get my grubby lil hands on one.  Really like my Ruger guns.  Like the idea of 10 shots in a .22lr revolver
My FFL holder requires any firearms to be shipped to them via another FFL holder.  So, If I make an offer on a firearm please let me know if this is capable of being done from the start.  Please do NOT mark an item "SPF" to me until we "both" are happy with and in agreement on shipping, funds and the transaction in general.   Thanks

Have handled one in person recently. Went in thinking... Naw... just go for the Super Single Six Convertible...

But, the grips on it are somewhat flatter and seem to have a very very slight depression in them. Points better as a result.

Agreed, the "glow in the dark" sights are as much a distraction as an aiming aid. But then I grew up shooting the standard Ruger partridge sights and would even prefer them in my rifles with iron sights.

All in all, nicely made as Rugers generally are. Tough choice between that and a Mk II or III in stainless to be sure. I definitely want one, LOL!
