Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Ruger Single-Six is a single-action rimfire revolver manufactured by Sturm, Ruger & Co. First introduced in June 1953, the Single-Six is currently produced as the New Model Single-Six, which features Ruger's transfer bar mechanism for increased safety. This mechanism allows you to carry the revolver safely with all six chambers loaded, as it prevents accidental firing. Before 1973, the Single-Six was produced without the transfer bar mechanism, making it less safe to carry with all six chambers loaded and the hammer resting on a loaded chamber. With the transfer bar safety, the revolver can only fire when the trigger is pulled.

Ruger provides a free transfer bar safety upgrade for owners of any old model Single-Six, though this may come with a significant trigger-feel penalty. The New Model Single-Six is chambered in .22 LR, .22 WMR (.22 Magnum), and .17 HMR and is available with barrel lengths of 4?, 5½, 6½, 7½, and 9½ inches in both blued and stainless steel. Ruger also manufactures several "convertible" models that ship with both a .22 LR cylinder and a .22 WMR cylinder, allowing the use of both cartridges. The .22 Short and .22 Long cartridges can also be fired in the Long Rifle cylinder. The last 3 digits of the serial number are engraved on the front of the cylinder for those models that ship with both cylinders.
