That look's cool, I'm guessing that is a Single Ten in .22lr? I just noticed on Ruger's website they now have a Single Nine, which is the same except in .22mag. I might have to look at one of those after Christmas. God Bless.

TRUISM: if guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns. So, my advice is: Buy more guns!
I lusted for the six-shot version in 1974, but got a Mark-I instead, since I figured I wouldn't reload .22 LR so didn't care if the brass flung out of the gun. My "pairs" were a Ruger Mk-I and 10/22 in rimfire, and a Super-Blackhawk and a Marlin 1894 in .44 Mag. Covered most anything other than zombies (.44 Mag JHP's just won't stop 'em; I know it because I've seen them movies).
I finally got my Single-Six a couple years ago, making it the longest 'wait' for getting a gun I wanted - some 35 years...!
I'm betting the 10-shot version is even more fun.

Good on carpenter-bees, too...
Wouldn't that be a little hard on the structure?
Well, you gotta figger they ain't as smart as injuns, and sooner or later, they skylight themselves against the horizon - you fire when there isn't nothin' but blue-sky behind 'em...
It's kind of like mini-skeet-shooting with a pistol - tons of fun ('xept not for the bees).
I guess you could always put up a scrap sheet of 4'x8' something or other as a backstop, too.

Very nice acquisition. I have taken to carrying a ss bearcat while hunting. I figured around here I need a 22 all the time and not really in need of anything more powerful in the woods while hunting. So now I carry the bearcat when I'm archery, Blackpowder or rifle hunting. If I travel to where bears might be, my opinion would then have to change. So I'm guessing that looks to be a perfect woods walking gun!

If that's the convertible version you could slip the 22 Mag cylinder in it and have a decent home defense gun. Some might argue it but after reading some of Paco's writings it has been used successfully in the past.

Life is a storm, my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes.
Unless something has happened at Ruger that I am not aware of, you should have a lot of fun trying to get that pistol worn in to where it is smooth and slick, then have a lifetime of service like that. PillHer's GP100 took about 2,000 rounds to start to smooth up. My SRH isn't anywhere near that, and is still not smoothed up yet. Once they smooth up, the accuracy seems to improve dramatically and the trigger pull gets better. The only person I ever heard of who messed up a Ruger was my brother. He did it to a .357 Blackhawk by loading it with compressed loads of 2400 and playing quick draw with it. He knocked it out of time a little and it started spitting bits of bullet jacket out the sides. The bits weren't big enough to really see unless he let loose near you and some of it hit you. It stung a lot. I think the reason it got out of time was that he started the hammer pull before the pistol left the holster and the little pawl that turns the cylinder had a lot more resistance on it than anyone should ever put on one. The fella who bought the gun from him sent it to Ruger for a little service and is still using it with great results.
