Was looking at Ruger Single Six Hunter 22LR/22 Mag today. Kind of like it. Any comments good or bad?

My Single Six isn't the Hunter version, but I love it. Very fun to shoot, very solid, choice of LR or magnum, good accuracy and it's a nice change from the more typical handguns. I like the sort of "old west" feel mine has to it.

The gun is very muzzle heavy and the grips are a little small for my hands. Having said this, I love mine. I initially had some accuracy problems, but after I figured out a grip that worked for me, I found it to be a tack driver. Awesome, beautiful gun. I'd buy another Hunter if I had to do it again.

With the 7.5" barrel, your .22 mag velocities will be faster than a rifle chambered in .22 lr.

First firearm I ever owned was a Ruger Single Six with an extra cylinder for the 22 RF mag. That was over 50 years ago and I still have and shoot this old timer, it is still one of my favorites. I taught my wife and my two sons to shoot a revolver with this Ruger SS and one of them will own it some day. I still take it for walks in the woods occasionally with hammer down on an empty chamber.

Got my single six in '76. It has most of the blue worn off and lots of character. My "back-door gun" is a single six w/mag cyl. I have shot it so much, it is what I feel most comfortable with.

Gotta love those ol .22's The Single-Six is a classic.

I don't know about the older ones, but mine has a transfer bar and Ruger says it's safe to carry hammer down fully loaded.
