I had one and nice plinker , sold it to my boss to use for varmint control on his farm. I couldn't hit nothing with it but sure most of the problem was me , may have shot better used standard velocity ammo.

Had one for over ten years.
Have had one with the two cylinders (one for 22 mag) for over ten years. Great gun for plinking and small game hunting. The accuracy is good enough for short range hunting. Great gun for teaching the grandkids to shoot a handgun. It's great little gun and I think back then I only paid $129. I does have that weird safety to the left of the hammer, but I'm okay with that, especially since I use it ti teach the kids. You'll enjoy yours. I knew of a guy who kept his filled with bird shot to shoot mice in his workshop.

Good guns and can be used for defense with solid tips.

I have a 4 3/4" barrel- no conversion cylinder to mag. It's a decent shooting little pistol and it has taken it's share of varmints from 'coons to 'possums ' to woodchucks. I think they are a good value for he $ and a good "knock around" handgun.
Enjoy and have fun - I think it will put a smile on your face! :-)

I've owned a Ruger .22 revolver for many years (as well as larger calibers), have eleven black powder replica revolvers...……...but read about this one, earlier on the NRA/American Rifleman website. I'm a sucker for these types of revolvers. I won't be surprised if I own one soon. My TV spends a lot of time, on the western channel. Now I just need a horse.

I have the 6.5 inch barrel and I shoot it more accurately than any handgun I've ever touched. They're a ton of fun.

I have thought about picking one up but have a Ruger single six 22, 22mag, I just think it would be redundant. But they are a great price. Hope you enjoy it.

I have the 6.5" barrel 22lr only. It always brings a smile to my face. Mine is accurate although the sights take a little getting used to. I like firing 22 CB shorts in it. Sounds like a cap gun, but can put them in a 1" group at 15 yards.

Watch the screws on the gun when you take it out the first few times. I had the ejector shroud fall off because the screw worked it's way out. A couple screws on the frame plus the one holding the ejector shroud on got some blue loctite and I haven't had an issue since. I was lucky that I didn't lose any parts.

Ya know, the gun is very good looking to boot! Plus it has weight to it!
