Since my first "real" (quality) revolver was an S&W M66, my first .22 revolver was an S&W M18. I still own and shoot both.

I am not as familiar with Rugers, but if I owned a Single/Security Six (or equivalent) I would be looking for something similar in .22LR to practice with.

Doesn't have to be identical, but (IMHO) a single action revolver is not an acceptable training alternative. A .22 LCR, while a good bit different from the Single Six, is at least a double-action .22LR...
