Actually, I had bought another 1200 rounds of 22 a few months ago when I wanted to shoot my 22 rifle again. Went through maybe 200 rounds of it till now. Then I got the new single six and put almost 200 through it this past weekend. Hopefully the stock will hold up; I won't get to shoot much, I at all, for the next few months. Hopefully ammo is available by then.

I was hoping to find a hunter model, too. Ultimately, I caved for the convertible, since it was available.

I had a blued model bought around 1980, sold around '86. Wish I still had it. My LGS has your same model for $500.00!!!! Hope you paid less than California prices...

I bought a new Super Single Six in the early seventies. It's one of my favorite sidearms to take hiking/camping/canoeing. When I'm just plinking or target shooting informally, I generally use the .22 lr cylinder. On extended canoe camping trips in the "boonies" (like the Boundary Waters in MN), the little revolver is loaded with the Magnum cylinder.
I have many handguns but, if I ever have to get rid of some, the Ruger SSS will be one of the last to go.

I love my ss, she will take bulk ammo all day long while my semi auto wants the good stuff. For a 1968 she n great condition!
