Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Ruger New Model Single-Six is a versatile and historically rich single-action rimfire revolver line that continues to enjoy popularity among plinkers, small-game hunters, and enthusiasts who appreciate cowboy style, simplicity, and accuracy. Introduced in 1953 in its “Old Model” form and revised in 1973 to become the “New Model,” the Single-Six inherited many of the classic revolver aesthetics—exposed hammer, six-shot cylinder—but added modern safety features, most notably Ruger’s transfer bar mechanism, which allows it to be safely carried with all chambers loaded. The action is rugged, being a mix of steel (for barrel, cylinder, lockwork) and either steel or aluminum grip frame (depending on model), and it’s paired with features like cold hammer-forged barrels, adjustable windage and elevation rear sights (on many models), loading gate interlocks, and high-quality workmanship common to Ruger’s build standards. Depending on the variant, it may also include convertible cylinders (e.g. .22 LR / .22 WMR) for added utility. In terms of performance, the New Model Single-Six offers excellent accuracy for a rimfire revolver, especially when fired with quality ammunition and proper barrels. Barrel lengths vary depending on the model (e.g. 5.5", 6.5", even 7.5" on “Hunter” versions), which allows shooters to choose a balance between maneuverability and precision. The revolver is relatively lightweight in rimfire terms, and its design features—like adjustable sights and a clean sight radius—aid in precision. Reliability is strong thanks to Ruger’s attention to materials and manufacturing tolerances; cold hammer forging yields consistent rifling and barrel life, while the transfer-bar safety and loading gate interlock help prevent common safety hazards. For those interested in both utility and collector value, early “Old Model” guns (pre-1973), lightweight or long-barreled versions, and convertible models tend to be especially prized. Together, these traits make the Single-Six a well-rounded, enduring choice that blends classic revolver charm with modern safety and functional performance.
