Ruger Single Nine .22 Magnum
Anyone seen this yet?
I'd love to get one but Ruger is so swamped with orders I bet it will be impossible to find for a while. |

Ive seen them in 3 Local Gun Shops. Not my cup of tea, and Im a Ruger fan. Maybe a Single Nine Convertible... Now that would sell.

The Single 10 I'm all for, the Single 9 can die a fast yet agonizing death. Just find yourself a .327 Blackhawk or go with a good ol 6 shot .38.

I have 2 Single Six convertibles, and the Single Ten. The Ten is great for plinking and very accurate. The Single Sixes are a great value, offering cheap, Long Rifle shooting and much more range, and knock down power, with the WMR cylinder. I dont see the benefit of a 22 WMR ONLY gun. I dont see them selling near as well as the Single Six convertible. If they eventually do offer a Single Nine convertible, I hope they dont drop the Single Six.

great looking gun ... I'm a big fan of .22WMR, been looking for a revolver a bit larger than my NAA Pug; the Ruger is a beauty ...

I want one, but agreed, Ruger can't make their guns fast enough. Not sure anyone can predict when supply/demand will equal-out.

The fugly sights and lack of a conversion cylinder will keep the Single Nine far from making it on my "maybe" list. (And that comes after the "Need" and "Want" lists.)
.22 WMR-only just doesn't appeal to me, and I like .22 WMR.

I actually use the "Letter to the CEO" form on Rugers site. I complained a while back about looking at 22 revolvers and there being a few cheap ten shots available but no decent ones. Why couldn't Ruger make one. When They did I asked why they didn't make it convertible, even if it could only hold a few less rounds.
I'm probably selling my single-six convertible for a single ten at some point. If the single nine was convertible I would be interested. Can't be too hard to make an aftermarket cylinder though. |

I like a dedicated revolver for each, because the bullets aren't the same diameter.
A perfect fit for a .222" bullet isn't the same as a .224". That's why I don't like convertibles in general. |

Ruger only uses .224" barrels. They don't use .222" barrels for .22 LR.

I have a Single 10... like it, but don't love it yet... we'll see if it grows on me... I think I could live without the Single 9 in 22 Mag

If I didn't have a Single Six convertible I would get a Single Ten. But, like many others, I'm not a big fan of the WMR and would not want a .22 mag. exclusive gun at all.

I have 2 Convertible Single Six revolvers, an I exclusively shoot 22 wmr out of them. The extra bang with 22 wmr is just a hoot!
The Single Ten is an optimized 22 lr single action revolver. The Single Nine is an optimized 22 wmr single action revolver. Since I prefer 22 wmr in this platform, I bought a Single Nine as my plinker. My 2 Convertibles are really for my show rig. To be honest, I hate Fire Sights, and will be replacing them soon. As to a six shooter should have six shots? I agree. However, the Single Nine is a nine shooter. If 19th century frontiersmen were offered a choice between a Colt SAA that held 6 shots, and one that held 9 in the same caliber, which one do you think they would choose? |

I think the "barrels are different sizes" bit has been looked into several times and ALL the companies who are making both/convertibles are using the same barrel blanks for both. For many rifles also. Maybe a company like Freedom Arms isn't. I called around a bit when I was buuying mine and that was pretty much the story I got everywhere. |

It would probably be a very practical 22 Mag revolver if you want one. I am not big on switching cylinders on the Single Six or some of the Colts.
I am NOT going to rush out to buy one, but I want to handle one. I love the feel of the Single Ten, but priorities have not allowed me to buy one. Last edited by 22-rimfire; November 9, 2012 at 10:22 AM. Reason: clarification |

And just so were all clear on this point... the sights are NOT plastic. The light pipes are plastic, but the sight bodies are metal.

There are other convertibles available, Ruger makes several BlackHawks that ship with 2 cylinders, a .357-9mm, and a 45 Long Colt-45 ACP. There are also Double Action 22 revolvers that are convertible. They are the Taurus 922 and Charter Arms Pathfinder Combo. These are both 22 Long Rifle-22 WMR. There may be others also, but these are in current production. Since the original topic of this thread is about Rugers new Single Nine, the mention of people wanting it offered as a convertible with 2 Nine shot cylinders is a real possibility. The Single Six, Single Nine and Single Ten are all essentially the same guns, they share the same frames, and many parts are interchangable, so a Single Nine convertible is possible. The general consensus is that a Single Ten convertible wont work because there isnt enough room for ten 22 WMR rounds, thats why the Single Nine was born.
