Yesterday, I got a Ruger Super Single-Six, SS with a 5.5" barrel. I fired about 160 rouds through it and had a great time. I've been shooting alot of .38 Spl's through my S&W 686+, so when I fired the Single-Six the first time my body anticpated the heavier recoil and I leaned way into the recoil of the mighty .22lr. It was really funny.

So have you recovered from that hellacious blast and kick yet?

.22LR: When .50AE just isn't enough.

hehe, I have a Davies .22 derringer that I load up .22 CB's in. I love to hand that to somebody right after they fire a .44 Mag. All of them almost fall over frontwards,then turn around with this really huge grin on their face.
I hate to admit it, but I have the same reaction

Hey - Congrats!
That was my very first real handgun.
I have fond memories of shooting that little revolver. (i dont remember ever CLEANING it either.)
Mine always shot to the left of POA.
