Well, I waffled back and forth a dozen times but I just pulled the trigger (pun intended) and ordered a brand new Ruger Single Six in .22LR/.22WMR from www.budsgunshop.com. It was cheaper from them for a brand new gun including shipping than I could find a used one for here in town. I paid $324 + $4 for shipping insurance for it. Plus I'll end up paying $25 for the FFL when it gets here but I really think having the option of popping in a .22WMR cylinder and having enough power to pop a coyote if needed will be nice.

Thanks for all the input.

I have a ruger single six myself. i wanted a .22 rimfire pistol for squirrel hunting. I figured it would be easier to carry than a rifle. If I had a holster that would work, but it is LOUD!! 22 long rifle out a 6" barrel is not quiet like it was shooting it out of my remington .22 auto loader (model 597).

I kinda would like to shoot the Mk III next to it just to see the difference. and I wish it were the hunter instead of the reg. single six.

Auto's are great but revolversALWAYS work .
