Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Ruger Single-Six Convertible is a classic single-action rimfire revolver built around a stout, well-proven frame that delivers old-school revolver ergonomics with modern manufacturing tolerances and surprising versatility. At its heart, the Single-Six is a six-shot, break-open or loading-gate (depending on era and model) single-action revolver with a solid transfer-bar safety on modern examples, good cylinder lockup, and a crisp single-action trigger that many shooters prize for precision .22 work. The “Convertible” designation refers to Ruger’s practical factory offering of an extra, interchangeable cylinder (most commonly a .22 WMR/.22 Magnum cylinder in addition to the standard .22 Long Rifle cylinder) so a single gun can run both .22 LR for economical practice and .22 WMR when higher velocity and energy are desired for small-game hunting. These revolvers are available in a range of barrel lengths and finishes (blued or stainless), normally feature a fixed or ramped front sight paired with an adjustable rear to permit good sighting with a long sight radius, and they’re built to Ruger’s characteristic standard of simple, user-serviceable construction: easy access to the cylinder, straightforward timing checks, and a durable extractor/star assembly that tolerates routine use.

Functionally, the Single-Six Convertible shines as a do-everything rimfire tool: it is excellent for economical marksmanship practice, small-game and pest control (the .22 WMR cylinder particularly extends effective range and terminal performance), cowboy action competition, and casual plinking. There are a few practical caveats and buy/owner checks to keep in mind: when using the Magnum cylinder expect a different point of impact and more muzzle blast from the shorter revolver barrels—pattern and zero each cylinder/ammunition combination before relying on it in the field. Cylinder fit, headspace, and timing are critical when swapping cylinders; even factory cylinders should be visually inspected and test-fired to ensure precise lockup and positive extractor/ejector functioning. Older Single-Sixes made before Ruger adopted the transfer-bar safety require more cautious handling (and are often altered or documented accordingly), so confirm the safety system before carrying the gun with all chambers loaded. Maintenance is straightforward but important: keep the extractor star and forcing cone clean, check for peening at the cylinder stop faces and the extractor rod threads, and verify the crown and barrel alignment for the best accuracy. Collectors prize early or limited runs and well-preserved convertibles, while shooters value the platform for its durability, interchangeable-cylinder flexibility, and the simple pleasure of a precision single-action revolver that adapts easily from lightweight practice to real small-game work with nothing more than a cylinder swap.
