Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Ruger Single-Six is a timeless classic among single-action revolvers, proudly manufactured by Sturm, Ruger & Co. and first introduced to eager American shooters in June 1953. Conceived as a rugged yet affordable .22-caliber revolver, the Single-Six quickly won over enthusiasts with its blend of dependable reliability, sharp accuracy, and fine craftsmanship that stood out in its era. Building on this immense success, Ruger introduced the Super Single-Six in 1964. This upgraded variant elevated the platform by replacing the traditional fixed sights with fully adjustable target sights for both windage and elevation, offering precision shooters vastly superior accuracy. Today, this legacy endures in production as the New Model Single-Six, a testament to a design that has truly stood the test of time. This modern iteration incorporates Ruger’s innovative transfer bar safety mechanism—a significant design enhancement introduced across both the standard and Super lines in 1973. The transfer bar system dramatically improves safety by ensuring the hammer cannot contact the firing pin unless the trigger is fully pulled, allowing the revolver to be carried with all six chambers loaded without fear of accidental discharge. Earlier models produced before 1973 lack this safety feature and are therefore considered unsafe to carry with the hammer resting on a loaded chamber. While Ruger continues to support owners of original models with a free retrofit service to install the transfer bar mechanism, some users note that the update can subtly change the trigger’s feel.

Adding to its appeal and versatility, Ruger also offered both versions in a highly popular convertible model that shipped with both a .22 LR and a .22 WMR cylinder. This allowed shooters to enjoy the best of both cartridges from a single revolver—an innovation that, when paired with the Super's adjustable sights, helped establish its reputation as one of the most adaptable and precise rimfire handguns ever produced. Over the decades, collectors and shooters alike have come to prize the Single-Six family not only for its enduring durability and precision, but also for the role it played in setting a new standard for .22-caliber single-action handguns and inspiring generations of shooters.
