Well just last week I picked up a stainless Single Six with black grips and a 6-1/2 inch barrel. It also came with the .22 WMR cylinder. I got it out today to try it out. This thing is great! It's built like a Tank. It doesn't feel like a .22, it feels like a hand cannon the way it is built. Everytime I open the loading gate to eject the cases, I keep expecting to see empty .357 mag cases sitting there. The trigger is a little on the heavy side especially when trying to shoot groups. I chrono'd four different loads using ten shot strings ten feet from the barrel. I then shot for groups as best I could at seven yards with the wind blowing me around. I used Remington "Golden Bullet" 36 gr. HP's, CCI Stinger 32 gr. HP's, CCI Velocitors 40 gr. HP's and Wolf Match Target 40 gr. RN's (I did not shoot groups with these). I didn't have any Mini-Mag 36 gr. HP's but will try some out as soon as I get some. The groups were measured from edge to edge.
The Velocitors were the most accurate, the Stingers were the fastest and the el-cheapo Remington had the most consistent velocities. I bought this gun new from my local gun store for 433.00 NIB OTD. I know I could have gotten it cheaper elsewhere especially used but I don't feel bad at all about buying this gun there for that price. It is really a very nice and versatile revolver to have.
