I'd like to get a Single Ten, but have little interest in the Single Six with or without the two cylinders. I have a number of 22 handguns, but I don't really have a good single action 22 that I shoot. Yes, I have Colt SA 22's. Hence, for me, I would buy the Single Ten.
But I have S&W M17's, M18, Colts, and the Ruger LCR-22 and SR22P, not to mention a Mark II. In general, I prefer double action 22's. My preference probably has more to do with my experience than any significant dislike of single action 22 revolvers relative to loading and unloading. I can't imagine not liking a Single Ten if it works.
I have yet to see the new SP-101 in 22. But from the reviews here and elsewhere, they have a typical stiff Ruger trigger than could probably be improved with shooting or spring replacement. I tend to leave them stock however. So, kick me if you want to, but I would spend the extra money for a 3" S&W M63 or 4" M617. The 3" M63 is on my buy list, but like the new SP-101 in 22, I have yet to see one in the flesh. I may buy the new SP-101 eventually. I like to spread the joy around.
