Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Ruger Single-Six is a classic single-action revolver manufactured by Sturm, Ruger & Co., first introduced in June 1953. Originally designed as a rugged and affordable .22-caliber revolver, the Single-Six quickly gained a reputation for reliability, accuracy, and craftsmanship. Today, it continues in production as the New Model Single-Six, which incorporates Ruger's transfer bar safety mechanism—a major design update introduced in 1973. This transfer bar system significantly enhances safety by preventing the hammer from contacting the firing pin unless the trigger is fully pulled, making it safe to carry the revolver with all six chambers loaded. Earlier models, produced before 1973, lack this safety feature and are considered unsafe to carry with the hammer resting on a loaded chamber. Ruger still offers a free retrofit service to install the transfer bar mechanism in original models, although some users note it can slightly affect trigger feel.

Ruger also offered the Single-Six in a convertible model that shipped with both a .22 LR cylinder and a .22 WMR cylinder, allowing the use of both cartridges, which further enhanced its reputation as one of the most versatile rimfire revolvers ever produced. Collectors and shooters alike prize the Single-Six revolvers not only for their durability and precision, but also for the role they played in setting a new standard for .22-caliber single-action handguns.
