In 1971 I bought a Single Six at a K-Mart. I think I paid about $85.00 A few years later I joined a small Club in Indiana and every fall we put on a trapping demonstration and education program with some rimfire shooting added. One of the contests was with 22LR pistols and revolvers. A 5 bullseye target was placed at a distance of 25 paces and each of 5 shooters fired one shot at one bullseye and the closest to the center won the pot. We usually fired from the sitting position with our arms braced on our knees, but occasionally standing or prone. One or two hand holds were allowed, shooters choice. I hardly ever lost sitting or won standing but usually left at the end of the day with at least $20.00 in winnings. My Single six using Winchester T22 was very accurate. Over the years I won enough money to have bought several more Single Sixes.. I also won some money shooting the same target at 50 paces with my Winchester 9422 and T22, but not nearly as much as I did with the Single Six. I still have her but only shoot it about once every 2 years for fun. It still shoots accurately with Norma ammunition. Sadly I sold the 9422 but made a bucket of money over what it cost me.

I guess I was wrong. My serial number shows it was made in 1973. I remember I bought it in the Spring of the year. My brother in law had a single action Ruger revolver but it didn't have the transfer bar and I liked shooting his.
I have several, but this old model is one of my favorites

Just purchased from local auction but not yet in my hands. My birth year 1958 and not changed to transfer bar.
I do have a question: somewhere I read/heard you can shoot .22 Shorts through it. Is that true?

No problem shooting shorts. Just keep the cylinder clean as you may get a burnt powder buildup after shooting them.
How about something a little different, still a single six though.

Here's my entry, a Hunter model and recent gift. I'm not sure the 2x scope is staying or not yet. It makes it a beast to hold still but helps my old eyes find the bull.

I bought mine about 22 years ago when I lived in San Antonio, I shoot CCI 22WRFs in the magnum cylinder. I've changed a few things over the years - grips, sights, base pin, ejector rod.

Here is my Single Six...

I know What General Patton Suh said about Pearl-handled revolvers, but that one is just plain handsome! 😎

I recently picked up this 4 5/8" SS. I just love how well it shoots although I do have firesights on order which should help even more when I carry it out for squirrel or rabbit.

Single 6 and Single 10. The 6 has the magnum cylinder in it, never fired a shot thru the LR cylinder.
